Spring Forward To Make This Lavender Lemon Cheesecake Recipe

As temps continue to rise this season, we can’t think of a more delicious way to celebrate the warmer weather than by baking this Lavender Lemon Cheesecake recipe.

A fitting way to welcome spring, this collagen recipe contains all the typical ingredients associated with cheesecake – like dairy-free cream cheese, coconut sugar, and gluten-free graham cracker crumbs – but with a twist. And no, we’re not just talking about the addition of lemon zest and lemon juice. We incorporated two scoops of Vital Proteins Beauty Collagen® in Lavender Lemon to the baking mixture.

Here’s what makes our Lavender Lemon Beauty Collagen so special: It contains 12g of collagen per serving, 120mg of skin-saving hyaluronic acid, probiotics, lavender, lemon, blueberry and beet. Unlike Vital Proteins Collagen Beauty Glow, which is sourced from wild-caught white fish, our Beauty Collagen is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hide.

Let’s dig in!
