Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Gut-Friendly Rice Krispie Treats Recipe (With Collagen & Sprouted Rice Cereal) ahead of time?
Yes. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months. They hold their shape best chilled.
How does the collagen work in this recipe?
It adds about 10 to 20g of collagen (one to two scoops) plus a bonus of clean grass-fed protein, and flavorless collagen blends in without changing the taste or texture.
Which Yonder collagen works best in this recipe?
Flavorless Yonder collagen is the best match here, since it blends in without adding sweetness or changing the flavor. For a flavored twist, our chocolate or vanilla collagen works too.

Yonder collagen is single-ingredient, grass-fed, gluten-free, and certified Glyphosate Residue-Free by The Detox Project, so it fits cleanly into most eating styles.
