28 Simple Ways to Incorporate Collagen and Gelatin Into Your Diet

Sharing is caring!

I have 28 simple ways to incorporate collagen and gelatin into your diet.

I’m not exaggerating, even a little, when I tell you that I never go a day without including either/both collagen and gelatin into my diet.

This is because I think it truly works from both a healing (and beauty!) standpoint.

If you count all the numbers up below, you’ll think, “….but there’s only 27.” 

And you would be right. So here is the 28th.

I wanted to share it first with you because when my SIBO was awful and I constantly felt famished and needed something other than meat and broth, this is the exact bowl I would make:

  • white rice
  • 1 scoop Naked Collagen
  • green beans
  • ground turkey, beef, or chicken of sorts
  • 1/2 Tbsp – 1 Tbsp L-Glutamine
  • coconut oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • seeds for seed cycling (the seeds depended on what cycle day I was on – see more HERE)

The secret to the bowl is that all ingredients are fresh and warm.

Simultaneously, make your rice, green beans, and meat.

While they are all still piping hot, toss in a huge bowl, add the collagen or beef gelatin, L-Glutamine, and a heaping amount of coconut oil (to melt it all together) and stir, stir, stir.

Whenever and however I could get that meal in (sometimes I had to nix the rice), I did.

So now that you have that jumbo-licious low-FODMAP bowl idea to try, here are the other 27 of 28 ways to incorporate collagen and gelatin into your diet.

General Ideas

Especially when it’s unflavored collagen and gelatin, they are super simple to add in to almost anything.

When in doubt, know that collagen will dissolve easily; gelatin is a little trickier, but it acts more like an “egg,” which is lovely for many recipes (i.e. my AIP Bread one below).

  1. Bone Broth infusions (both collagen and gelatin)
  2. coffee infusions (collagen)
  3. Gut Healing Smoothies (both collagen and gelatin)
  4. salad dressings (collagen)
  5. soups (collagen and gelatin)
  6. tea (collagen)
