3 Collagen Recipes You'll Actually Look Forward
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It acts as a primary building block of your skin, muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. It is also present in your organs, blood vessels, and intestinal lining, making it essential for maintaining the structure and function of various parts of your body.
But understanding collagen is only one part of the picture; incorporating it into your daily routine is what can make consistency easier to achieve.
Many people start taking collagen with good intentions but struggle to maintain the habit. A sachet might sit in the kitchen for weeks, used occasionally before being forgotten altogether. One practical way to build a more consistent routine is to pair collagen with something you already enjoy, whether that is your morning breakfast or an afternoon treat. Instead of treating it as another supplement to remember, you can make it part of a familiar eating habit.
That is where these three simple collagen recipes come in.
1: Mixed Berry Overnight Oats Jar
Best for busy mornings and anyone who wants breakfast ready before the alarm.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup thick curd or Greek yoghurt
- 1 sachet of AKYA Complete Collagen Formula, Mixed Berry
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey or jaggery syrup for sweetness
- A handful of fresh or frozen berries
- A few almonds or walnuts
The oats supply fibre, the curd adds protein, the nuts bring vitamin E and healthy fats, and the berries give you vitamin C, which the body uses to make its own collagen.
2: Orange Creamsicle Lassi
Best for hot afternoons, post-workout and anyone who misses ice cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chilled thick curd
- ½ cup cold water or milk
- 1 sachet of AKYA Complete Collagen Formula, Orange
- Juice of ½ an orange, or a few segments
- 2 to 3 ice cubes
- A pinch of cardamom powder
The orange flavour pairs naturally with the collagen, so it does not taste like a supplement. Orange juice also brings vitamin C, and the curd adds protein and it is gut-friendly also.
3: Cardamom Masala Chai Latte
Best for chai lovers, cooler evenings and anyone who doesn’t want to change their routine at all.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (or ½ cup milk and ½ cup water)
- 1 tea bag or 1 tsp loose black tea
- 2 crushed cardamom pods
- A small piece of ginger, crushed
- 1 cinnamon stick or ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 serving of AKYA Complete Collagen Formula
- Sweetener to taste (jaggery, honey or none)
It is the easiest recipe to turn into a habit because it replaces nothing and adds one step.
