Three Easy Recipes to add Collagen to Your Diet

[Ad- gifted product] At the start of the year, people are always trying to start new habits and take better care of themselves. The start of a new year can inspire people to want to better themselves, as it’s like a little reset or milestone they’ve passed. One thing that easily can better your health is making sure you are taking care of your bones, joints, and skin through supplements like collagen. There are a few different brands of collagen around, though Dann and I have tried Elavate, which have a few different options to tailor to your tastes. I like the fact that they have unflavoured – which makes it easy to add a dose into your food without tasting anything. They also have chocolate and vanilla, which are two good flavours for baked goods as they do have a flavour to them. This brand of collagen is very fine, so we haven’t found any grainy tastes or feeling with the food we have added it to.

I do find sticking to a new habit to be a challenge, as does anyone I think. Elavate send a welcome box, which has a storage container for your supplement, an electric whisk, the collagen of course, and even a calendar that allows you to check off each day that you take your supplement, encouraging you to build up that habit. This is magnetic, which means it can be placed on your fridge, right where you see it! Obviously, it’s pretty easy to add Elavate Collagen to your coffee and tea, and their website have a few baked goods, but here’s what I have been adding it to!

Bubble Jelly – Jelly Full of Popping Pearls

[Ad- gifted product] We have tried a few different lunchbox jellies previously, and have always had fun eating them! As a 90s kid, I feel like fruit in jelly and jelly pots are just a thing we always had. However, as someone who has grown up liking boba tea and popping pearls, I was surprised that they’ve combined the two. Bubble Jelly, a new product by Angel Delight, has brought a new twist to an average jelly.

Chocolate Mint Cookies Recipe

[Ad – Gifted Products] I feel like this time of year is when everyone is baking! One of the things my family has always done is cookie trays, which are gifted to everyone. Following the same sort of spirit, I create smaller cookie boxes for my in-laws, neighbours and Pokemon Go community. Last year I shared our Chewy Lemon Cookies Recipe, which is still a big favorite, and previously I shared our Hazelnut Melting Moments Cookie recipe as well. This year, I made some chocolate mint cookies with Organic Cocoa Powder from Food Thoughts. This cocoa powder is 100% natural, without any added sugar, making it perfect for baking as you do not need to worry about adjusting the sugar level.

Love Corn Snacks – Perfect for Packed Lunches

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve been fans of the corn snack Love Corn for quite some time now, so we were delighted when we saw that they are now doing smaller, travel-sized packs, along with a new flavor to try out! Love Corn, if you aren’t familiar, is a crunchy corn snack that are air roasted instead of fried, making it a fun, low-calorie snack. These corn snacks reminded me of beer snacks when I first had them (and since I’ve been to Spain recently, where they often have crunchy corn snacks served with beer).
