Our tips before you begin
- Respect the daily dose indicated on your jar: one serving per day is enough
- Mix well using a shaker, whisk, or blender for a smooth texture
- Neutral version: perfect in savory or already flavored recipes
- Peach version: ideal for cold drinks and fruity recipes
- Add vitamin C with fresh fruit: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin

Recipe 1: The mixed berry smoothie
Preparation: 5 minutes
- 1 handful of mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 banana
- 200 ml of plant-based drink or milk
- 1 tablespoon of oats
- 1 scoop of powdered marine collagen (neutral)
Blend everything for 30 seconds. The berries provide vitamin C, and the oats provide fiber to keep you full until lunch.
Variation: replace the berries with mango and half a kiwi for an exotic version, or add a handful of fresh spinach for a green smoothie with a very mild taste.
Recipe 2: Overnight oats
Preparation: 5 minutes the night before
- 40 g of oats
- 120 ml of milk or plant-based drink
- 1 plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of chia seeds
- 1 scoop of powdered collagen (neutral or peach)
- Pieces of kiwi or orange when serving
Mix all ingredients (except the fruit) in a jar, close it, and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, add the fruit: your breakfast is ready.
Variation: with the peach version, add a few diced peaches or apricots in summer. In winter, freshly peeled orange segments and a pinch of cinnamon work wonders.
Recipe 3: Peach-mint infused water
Preparation: 2 minutes
- 500 ml of cool water
- 1 scoop of peach-flavored powdered marine collagen
- A few fresh mint leaves
- A few lemon slices
Pour the collagen into a water bottle with the water, shake well, then add the mint and lemon. Ideal after a workout or at the office to help you drink more water throughout the day.
Variation: replace the mint with basil and a few cucumber slices for an even more refreshing drink.
Recipe 4: The gourmet yogurt bowl
Preparation: 3 minutes
- 1 large plain yogurt or skyr
- 1 scoop of peach-flavored powdered collagen
- Sliced seasonal fruit
- 1 handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts)
- A drizzle of honey (optional)
Incorporate the collagen into the yogurt by mixing well, then add the fruit and nuts. Perfect for a protein-rich snack.
Variation: for a plant-based version, use soy or coconut yogurt, and replace the honey with a few drops of maple syrup.
Recipe 5: Energy balls
Preparation: 15 minutes, makes about ten balls
- 100 g pitted dates
- 60 g almonds
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tablespoons of oats
- Neutral powdered collagen (one dose per serving you will eat during the day)
Blend everything until a dough forms, shape into balls, and place in the fridge. To stick to your daily dose, divide the collagen according to the number of balls you eat each day.
Tip: roll the balls in shredded coconut or crushed pistachios. They slip easily into a container for the office or gym bag.
A week of gourmet collagen
To avoid getting bored, alternate recipes throughout the week. Here is an example of a schedule, which you can adapt to your tastes and your timetable:
| Day | Recipe | Version |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Overnight oats prepared Sunday night | Neutral or Peach |
| Tuesday | Mixed berry smoothie | Neutral |
| Wednesday | Infused water at the office | Peach |
| Thursday | Yogurt bowl for snack | Peach |
| Friday | Overnight oats | Neutral or Peach |
| Weekend | Energy balls prepared for the following week | Neutral |
Only one rule: one dose per day, not one dose per recipe.
Common mistakes
⚠️ Doubling up doses: a smoothie in the morning and a yogurt in the afternoon, each with a full dose, is double the intended amount
⚠️ Pouring the powder all at once into a liquid without mixing: it creates clumps. Shake or blend as soon as you add it
⚠️ Preparing too far in advance: drinks are best consumed within the day
⚠️ Giving up after a few days: collagen is a long-term commitment; consistency matters more than the recipe

Frequently asked questions
❓ Can you add powdered collagen to a cooked recipe?
The recipes in this article are all no-cook, which is the simplest solution. If you add it to a hot dish, do so at the end of the preparation, off the heat, and mix well.
❓ Is the neutral version really neutral in taste?
It is designed to be discreet. In a smoothie, overnight oats, or cocoa energy balls, it goes unnoticed.
❓ What time of day should you have your recipe?
There is no mandatory time. Choose the one where you are most consistent: breakfast, an office break, or a snack. To learn more, read When to take collagen?
❓ Are these recipes suitable for everyone?
Marine collagen is not suitable for people with fish allergies. Also check the other ingredients (nuts, milk, oats) in case of allergies or intolerances.
In summary
1️⃣ One dose per day, integrated at a time you enjoy
2️⃣ Neutral for everything, peach for fruity recipes
3️⃣ Fruits rich in vitamin C to accompany it
