I’ve heard all about collagen, lately. If you’re into health and fitness, I’m sure you have, too. After reading about the mile-long list of benefits, I couldn’t help but give it a try, myself. And I am so impressed, that I want to share with you some of my favorite facts about collagen (plus, a yummy recipe):

It’s the most abundant protein in the body, providing vitality to our skin, hair, bones, tendons, cartilage, and more.

By providing hydration, it produces firmer and smoother skin with improved elasticity.

It promotes hair growth, by providing our bodies with some of the necessary amino acids to make keratin.

Collagen can improve joint movement and agility, as well as reduce joint pain, by increasing healthy cartilage.

Are you as stoked as I am, yet?

After convincing myself I needed collagen in my life ASAP, I received the most generous package from Primal Kitchen (my new favorite product line), which included Vanilla Coconut Collagen. Apparently the Lord heard my cry for collagen and sent it straight to my door. Thank you, Jesus, because it is so delicious. You can mix it with water, milk, or even coffee (in place of creamer). Eventually, I will attempt baking  with it, too. (If you’ve baked with collagen, let me know how it worked in the comment section below!)

To hold you over ’til then, I made these yummy, little bites of chocolate and collagen. They’re a great afternoon pick-me-up or a sweet treat for after dinner!

⠀
I mean, there are endless aisles, different brands, and 6 kinds of apples. It’s hard to know what to choose or where to start! 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀
⠀
For these reasons, I decided to create a Grocery Staple Guide with all the kitchen basics, so you no longer have to guess!⠀
⠀

I cannot wait to take a fork to this pan with my hubby and family on Christmas morning with a hot cup of coffee ☕️ There’s no better way to spend Christmas morning, in my opinion! 👌🏼⠀
⠀
Bonus: you can actually make this recipe the night before or throw it together in under 1 hour in the morning!⠀

Instagram post 2191520676908443925_272488273 Healthy Holiday GIVEAWAY 🎄🥳⠀
⠀
In the beginning 2019, I discovered @flyingcowtallow and to say I’ve been obsessed ever since is an understatement.⠀
⠀
But, what even is tallow and why would I put it on my skin?!?⠀
⠀
Good question 🙃⠀
⠀
Tallow from grass-fed and finished cows is packed with tons of vitamins and fatty acids that our skin loves! Some of these nutrients are:⠀
• omega 7 and 9⠀
• vitamins A, D, E, and K⠀
• CLA⠀
⠀
Personally, I use tallow on my skin every morning and night. And over the last 6 months, I’ve had way less breakouts, my skin tone is more even, and my skin is no longer stiff and dry. Score!⠀
⠀
For these reasons and more, I’m stoked to announce another @flyingcowtallow giveaway just in tome for Christmas! The new holiday scents (Mint & Vanilla Bean, Winter Breeze, and Peppermint Latte) are amaaaaazing 👌🏼 Mint & Vanilla is my person fav!⠀
⠀
So, one lucky winner will win their own jar of @flyingcowtallow (retail value of $50)! All you have to is follow the instructions below:⠀
1. Follow me (@nourishedbykelseynicole) and @flyingcowtallow.⠀

3. Tag 2 friends who love clean, nontoxic skincare (in the same comment).⠀
⠀
That’s it! The winner will be announced on Sunday, December 8th at 12pm (CST)!⠀⠀
⠀⠀

Instagram post 2188683449631489708_272488273 I’m a few days behind the game, but I hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday with good food and better company! 🥰⠀
⠀
I’m feeling rested and recharged after a few days of family time, holiday festivities, and amazing food! I ate a lot, shopped ‘til I dropped, watched Christmas movies, ate some more, slept in, enjoyed slow mornings, and worked out a little.⠀
⠀
For all of these reasons and more, the holiday season is my absolute FAVORITE 😍⠀
⠀
What is your favorite part of the holiday season?! 🎄🍾🍪⠀
