Collagen is the glue that holds the body together, providing numerous health benefits for your hair and skin elasticity. As our body’s natural production of this important protein declines as we age, many of us may turn to collagen supplements to help boost collagen levels and promote a youthful appearance.

Often sold as an unflavoured collagen peptides powder, collagen supplements are mostly consumed with water or in hot and cold drinks. But did you know that you can also enrich your meals with collagen powder too?

Using our delicious Collagen Protein Powder in a tasty vanilla flavour, we’ve put a twist on an all-time classic breakfast with these chocolate chip collagen pancakes.

Get experimenting in the kitchen and start the day on the right foot with this gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free collagen-infused chocolate pancakes recipe!
