You’ll see the phrase “real food” a lot around here. So let me explain what I mean by that.

It sounds funny, right? Would I really eat anything other than food that is real? Most people would promptly answer a resounding “no!”.

Is an apple real, naturally occurring as a food? Yes! 🙂 How about eggs? Yeah, those too. Is my collagen powder real? It doesn’t look like something straight out of the ground or from the farm. But yes, collagen is a real food and a pretty cool one too. Collagen extraction requires beneficial processing that helps turn big protein into little collagen peptides in powder form. What about my protein bar? Hmm…maybe.
