Plent collagen is one of those products that is much easier to stick with when you stop thinking of it as “just a drink.”

Yes, you can shake it with water and go. But you can also turn it into smoothie bowls, breakfast pots, chia puddings, iced coffees, jelly-style desserts and healthier sweet treats.

That is what makes it handy. You are not locked into one boring routine. You can use the flavoured Plent collagens for fun recipes, and the unflavoured one for coffee, oats, yoghurt, soups and desserts where you do not want the flavour changed.

Here are 15 easy ways to make Plent feel less like a supplement and more like something you actually look forward to.

½ cup milk or oat milk
1 spoon Greek yoghurt
½ mashed banana

Chocolate for breakfast, but in a "Good Girl" way. This is a good one for busy mornings when you know you will not bother making anything complicated. If you make it in a small lunch box it works great of a mid morning healthy snack.

Citrus Lemonade Breakfast Chia Pot

1 serving Plent Citrus Lemonade
200ml milk, coconut milk or oat milk

Extra Lazy Ideas For Collagen Powders

Mixing Plent collagens in with shop bought chocolate deserts, porridge, microwave oats, yoghurts, slush puppies, ice pudding, iced tea , coffee, mochas, soups or just some mushed up fruit are all the "Ultimate way to cheer up protein powders for Lazy Gits" that work a treat. There is no end to what you can do with the unflavoured Plent! 

The Bottom Line: Plent Collagen For Everyday

Plent collagen does not have to be just a scoop in water (but it is nice just like that). 

Use the flavoured ones when you want something fun, fruity or dessert-style. Use the unflavoured one when you want collagen without changing the taste of your food.

The trick is simple: add it to something you already like. Smoothie bowls, chia puddings, yoghurt pots, pancakes, iced coffees and easy desserts are all fair game.

That is how you make collagen easier to take every day
