Collagen powder can be mixed with a variety of foods and drinks, depending on personal preference and dietary restrictions. Here are some popular options:
-
Hot Beverages: Coffee, lattes, teas, herbal drinks, and hot chocolate are common hot beverages used to mix collagen powder. Milk frothers and extra stirring are good methods to keep collagen powders from forming clumps in hot beverages.
-
Cold Beverages: Collagen powders can be mixed into liquid-based foods like yogurt, oatmeal, smoothie/acai bowls, applesauce, and scrambled eggs. Collagen peptides can also mix with any kind of milk, including cow, almond, goat, oak, raw, and coconut.
-
Baking: Collagen powder can be added to baked goods like muffins, cookies, and cakes.
-
Broths and Soups: Collagen powder can be added to bone broth or a broth made of kombu or mineralizing vegetables.
-
Water: Collagen powder can be added to water to transform it into a creamy base.
Its important to note that manufacturers commonly recommend between 2-3 scoops of collagen powder (10g) per day. It may take a few tries to decide how much powder is palatable per beverage and when during the day to take it. Additionally, its recommended to look for third-party verification on products labels, such as U.S. Pharmacopeia or NSF International, to ensure ingredients are verified and match whats listed on the label.
