Chocolate Peanut Butter Collagen Truffles
Indulge your sweet tooth without the guilt. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Collagen Truffles are rich, chocolatey, and creamy while incorporating collagen for a wellness boost!
Collagen is a key structural protein in our skin, bones, joints, and connective tissues and supplementing with it can help improve skin elasticity, joint health, and more! As we age, our natural collagen production declines - which can cause skin dryness and joint stiffness. Adding collagen to a simple treat like these truffles is an easy way to support skin, joint, and general connective tissue health, while still enjoying something delicious!

A burst of sunshine in a cup! This Orange Collagen Creamsicle Smoothie tastes like a nostalgic frozen treat, but with a nourishing twist. Packed with vitamin C and sweetened naturally with honey with the addition of collagen, this is a refreshing was to support your immune system as well as your skin, hair, nails, and joints! Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in your body, but as you age, your natural collagen production slows down. So, supplementing with collagen is a great way to keep joints (and other connective tissues), skin, hair, and nails healthy.

Feeling the Holiday pressure? In the midst of Winter’s chill and the Holiday rush, your own well-being deserves space to breathe. The natural world around us is slowing down, so why shouldn’t we? Winter invites us to turn inward, and it is especially important to support your mental health during these longer, darker days. Did you know that we, as Canadians, are more prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder due to our northern latitude, which results in less sunlight during the winter? The Holiday season can be equal parts joyful and overwhelming. Schedules get busy, routines slip, and we're surrounded by comfort foods and sweet treats. Between gatherings, travel, and to-do lists, our well-being can take a back seat. Here are some simple tips to keep you grounded, nourished, and feeling your best throughout the season: *These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice. Please check labels for contraindications and check with your pharmacist if you are on prescription drugs. These suggestions are based on over 40 years of customer experience at Jo Anne’s Place.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
