Collagen A Love Story: 20 Smoothie & Sweet Treat Beauty Food Recipes
Collagen A Love Story is my love letter to collagen. Inside this e-book you'll find 20 Beauty Food Recipes: Smoothies, Drinks, Soup, and Sweet Treats. It’s based on my work as a recipe developer and food stylist for Bobbi Brown's former site justBOBBI.
I created these recipes with you in mind. I also gave you as many substitutions and options as possible so that you can make these your own. I hope you love them and treasure them as much as I do!
Below is one of my favorite recipes in the book and is the cover, Five Minute Chocolate Banana Icebox Cookies. Use up all your ripe bananas! This comes together in less than five minutes and uses just one bowl. Bonus you don’t have to turn your oven on.

Ingredients:
Serves 1-2
2 ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup preferred nut or seed butter
2 tbsp. cacao powder
1 scoop chocolate collagen powder
1 scoop vanilla collagen powder
1/8 tsp. sea salt
Instructions:
Mix everything in a medium bowl until the banana is no longer visible. Scoop the cookies with a small ice cream scoop or 1 tbsp. onto a rimmed lined baking sheet. Use parchment or a silicone mat (these will stick if placed directly on the pan).
Press down slightly to give them a cookie shape.
Freeze at least two hours and place in an airtight container up to one month in the freezer.
Chef Carla Notes:
Optional add-ins: 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/4 cup cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or a small pinch of crunchy sea salt like Maldon.

Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.
