Best Ways to Incorporate Collagen Into Your Routine

2. Ready, Steady, Bake!  

There are endless ways to bake with collagen. Whether that be collagen muffins, collagen brownies or collagen banana bread, all you need to do is prep your mixture and add a scoop of unflavoured or flavoured collagen (such as our LQ Collagen Chocolate Collagen powder) and mix. This way you can enjoy a tasty treat while receiving your daily dose of collagen. 

3. Try a Collagen Smoothie  

Collagen powder adds the perfect texture to complement any smoothie. Try adding a scoop of our Unflavoured Collagen Peptides Powder or, to really enhance the fruity flavour in your smoothie, try our Marine Collagen Powder in Mango and Passion Fruit. 

This means that while you’re sipping on your delicious fruity flavoured beverage, you can help provide your collagen levels with some additional support. If you’re on the hunt for a new smoothie recipe to really kickstart your day, here’s one of our favourite collagen smoothie recipes you should try out: 

Ingredients:  

• ½ banana 
• 25g mango 
• 10g pineapple  
• 10g peach 
• 2 scoops LQ Collagen Marine Collagen Powder in Mango and Passion Fruit 
• 250ml milk or water  

Method:  

• Chop up all the fruit into small slices and add to your blender.  
• Blend all ingredients together until you get a medium consistency. 
• Serve into a glass and enjoy! 

4. Snack on Some Collagen-Rich Foods 

Another great way to ensure you’re maintaining your natural collagen levels is by snacking on some collagen-rich foods throughout the day. Collagen-rich foods include:  

• Citrus fruits 
• Berries 
• Cashews 
• Tomatoes 

These snacks work to maintain and increase your natural collagen levels to help improve your skin elasticity, anti-ageing and support joint pain. 

5. Try Collagen Shots 

When you don’t have time to bake with collagen, prepare collagen-rich snacks or make a collagen smoothie, our LQ Collagen Shots can help you to incorporate collagen into your routine. This delicious blend of collagen, hyaluronic acid and a wealth of vitamins, works to provide you with a range of health and beauty benefits.

Best Time to Take Collagen

Deciding when to take collagen is completely down to your own lifestyle and preference. Many people choose to take collagen supplements first thing in the morning, so they can kickstart the day with one thing already ticked off their to do list. Others may prefer to save their collagen supplement for after their workout or at night.

Regardless of what time you choose to take collagen, you can rest assured that you’re helping to support and increase your collagen levels.
