    Are you on the hunt for a balanced and nutrient-rich breakfast? Try our easy collagen yogurt bowls. Packed with protein, vitamins, and the added benefits of collagen to support your joints and skin, this bowl not only satisfies your taste buds but also supports your overall wellness. Let’s dive into how you can create and customize your own collagen bowls.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup yogurt (Plant-based or Greek, plain or vanilla, depending on your preference)
    • 1 scoop Alaya Multi-Collagen Powder (Unflavored or Vanilla)
    • 1/2 cup fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
    • 1/4 cup granola (choose a variety with nuts and seeds for added crunch and nutrition)
    • 1 tablespoon almond butter or nut butter of choice
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
    • Drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
    • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

    Directions:

    1. Prepare Your Base: In a bowl, scoop out your yogurt. We love Greek yogurt for its thick consistency and high protein content, which helps keep you full and satisfied throughout the morning.
    2. Add Collagen Powder: Sprinkle the collagen powder over the yogurt. Bonus—Alaya collagen has an additional 8g of protein!
    3. Layer with Fresh Berries: Arrange your fresh berries on top of the yogurt. Berries are rich in antioxidants and add a burst of color and natural sweetness to your bowl.
    4. Sprinkle with Granola: Scatter the granola over the berries. Granola provides a satisfying crunch and additional fiber, making your breakfast bowl more filling.
    5. Drizzle with Nut Butter: Add a dollop of almond butter or your favorite nut butter. This adds healthy fats and a creamy texture to complement the yogurt and fruit.
    6. Sprinkle with Chia Seeds: Sprinkle chia seeds over the bowl. Chia seeds are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, enhancing the nutritional profile of your breakfast.
    7. Sweeten (if desired): For a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bowl. Adjust the amount based on your preference for sweetness.
    8. Garnish (optional): Finish off your collagen yogurt bowl with a few fresh mint leaves.
    9. Meal Prep: Prepare several bowls at once and store in glass containers or ramekins covered with beeswax wrap (or your wrap of choice). Grab and go throughout the week when you’re ready to eat!
