Notes

Nutrition information is for base recipe only. Additional toppings will alter the nutrition content. 
To make this dairy-free and vegan, substitute a plant-based yogurt and a plant-based protein powder.
Substitute your favorite protein powder for the collagen peptides. You may need to increase the amount of liquid to get your desired consistency - I find that traditional protein powders absorb more liquid than collagen peptides. 
For more variations and substitutions, see the full blog post above.
