Best-quality collagen powders are proteins that are broken down into peptides, or short chains of amino acids, which will be absorbed by the body and used as building blocks for skin, hair, nails, joints, bones, and your gut lining. These are full-body wonders.
Adding a collagen powder to your diet is often as simple as swirling a few scoops into your morning coffee. But that’s not the sole way you can consume it: Collagen powders are really easy to mix into other smoothies, snacks, and even full-blown meals. Here are three fun, unique recipes to up your intake.
Banana Collagen Pancakes
- 1 ripe banana, mashed (about ¾ cup)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup almond milk
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 T INJA Pro collagen
- ½ t baking powder
- ¼ t ground cinnamon
- Banana slices, for topping
- Raw honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the mashed banana, eggs, and almond milk together.
- In a separate medium mixing bowl, mix all-purpose flour, collagen powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon together.
- Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking.
- Melt a bit of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Grease a round metal mold with oil and place it in the middle of the pan.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter into the mold and let it cook for three minutes or until bubbles rise to the top and the surface is no longer shiny.
- Run a butter knife around the edge of the mold and remove the mold before flipping the pancake over. Let it cook for another one to two minutes until the other side is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes topped with sliced bananas and a drizzle of raw honey.
