Collagen

How Does Collagen Work?

Our bodies produce collagen naturally, but as we age, that production begins to decline. Outside factors, like exposure to UV rays from the sun, can affect the speed of this downturn. As this happens, you may start to notice the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and other signs of visible aging.

Collagen is a fibrous structure that holds and connects and structures together. It acts as the scaffolding for your skin, ligaments, cartilage, connective tissues, and muscles. This protein can also keep your skin looking youthfu, as well as support bone, joint, hair, and gut health.

Too Good To Be True: How Can Hot Cocoa Support Your Health?

Dr. Kellyann’s Collagen Cocoa is not your store-bought hot chocolate. This chocolatey, dairy-free hot chocolate is made with simple ingredients. Each packet contains 17 grams of grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen, which is easily digestible to support maximum nutrient absorption.

It can satisfy your sweet tooth with its depth of chocolate flavor while being deliciously sugar-free. This collagen hot cocoa is a decadent low-calorie, low-carb, and low-fat snack. Dr. Kellyann has done the hard work for you so you can enjoy the health benefits of bone broth collagen without prep time.

Dr. Kellyann only uses natural sweeteners, like monk fruit, which is 100 to 250 times sweeter than table sugar. Dr. Kellyann’s Collagen Cocoa is also soy and gluten free.

Dr. Kellyann’s Collagen Cocoa is packed with essential nutrients like protein, calcium, potassium, and amino acids. The 15 grams of protein in each serving size of hot cocoa can help you feel fuller for longer, supporting your weight loss goals. 

The hydrolyzed collagen breaks down into amino acids in the gut. Amino acids are “the building blocks” of protein, and your body can use them to make proteins like collagen, which can support skin elasticity and minimize visible signs of aging.

Here are a few other ways that amino acids can support your health:

• Promote a balanced mood
• Support a healthy metabolism
• Support restful sleep
• Help in the breakdown of fats
• Promote gut health

Is This Hot Cocoa Keto and Paleo-Friendly?

This hot chocolate mix can be consumed by people following the bone broth, keto, or paleo diets because it is low in sugar and carbohydrates. The rich chocolate flavor comes from unsweetened cocoa powder, and you can avoid high-carb or nutritionally empty sweeteners like maple syrup and stevia thanks to our monk fruit extract.

To make easy homemade hot chocolate, simply simmer eight ounces of your non-dairy milk of choice into a small saucepan, warm it on the stovetop until you reach medium heat, and stir frequently.

For more healthy hot chocolate recipes, try using a dairy-free milk such as unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or full-fat coconut milk, adding in coconut, peppermint extract or vanilla extract for additional flavors.

If you really want to get creative, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, sea salt, and a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter for a sweet and salty afternoon treat. Or, add some dairy-free whipped cream, vegan marshmallows, and sugar-free dark chocolate chips. 

This nutrient-dense collagen hot cocoa mix is so versatile, you can even add it into a smoothie for a truly delicious breakfast drink recipe.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein that your body naturally makes and uses every day. Collagen proteins are the most abundant proteins in the body and are primarily found in connective tissues like skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, and cartilage. In simple terms, natural collagen protects tissues and connects them tightly together.

As we age, our bodies' natural collagen production begins to decline. This decline can be increased by outside factors like sun damage, alcohol and nicotine consumption, and free radical damage. When collagen production slows down, you may notice signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, start to make their appearances.

Among others, the health benefits of collagen can affect joint health, gut health, and even skin health. Any good skincare routine is built around a high-quality diet. For anyone looking to keep a youthful appearance, increasing collagen intake can help.

There are 28 different types of collagen, and of those, five types are considered to be the most important.

These include:

Type 1: This type makes up 90 opercent of the collagen in our body and provides structure to skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments.

Type 2: This type is found in elastic cartilage and may provide joint support.

Type 3: This type is found in muscles, arteries, and organs.

Type 4: This type is found in layers of the skin barrier.

Type 5: This type is found in the eye cornea, some layers of skin, and hair.

Results Inside and Out: How Can Collagen Support Your Health?

Replenishing your body’s dwindling collagen production is important for maintaining a healthy appearance and can be as easy as drinking your morning cup of coffee. Eating nutritious foods that contain high-quality ingredients like essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and amino acids can help support your body’s natural collagen production.

Drinking one cup of Dr. Kellyann’s Collagen Coffee as a part of your morning routine can add seven grams of hydrolyzed collagen peptides to your daily diet.

This morning pick-me-up is an easy way to supplement your natural collagen — plus, it’s keto and paleo-friendly. It can even help with weight loss because of the added protein, and it doesn’t contain added sugars or artificial sweeteners. This low-carb, gluten-free coffee does it all!

Eating enough protein is generally important when maintaining a healthy weight. Protein can do this by helping keep your body full and fueled and helping you say “no” to sugary or high-calorie snacks in between meals.

Collagen may also contribute to better gut health. 

When collagen is digested, it is broken down into amino acids. Amino acids are responsible for facilitating new protein growth, as well as providing energy at the cellular level to the small intestine. Two amino acids, glutamine and glycine, can support health by promoting a balanced gut, assisting with the breakdown of fats, and even supporting the gut lining.

Think of collagen as the scaffolding of your skin bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and cartilage. Collagen acts as a connector, keeping structures tightly arranged and assembled. 

As we age and are exposed to free radicals from sun damage and other environmental factors, our bodies ability to produce collagen naturally begins to decline. This is when we start to notice things like fine lines, wrinkles, and hollowed areas on the face.  

Eating foods rich in collagen proteins, like Dr. Kellyann’s Collagen Creamer, can help supplement your body’s waning collagen stores. Plus, collagen is a source for much more than striking good looks. When collagen is digested, it is broken down into amino acids. 

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. When we digest proteins into amino acids, those amino acids are sent out all over the body to wherever protein is needed. 

This can promote healthy cartilage and joint function, as well as support our natural collagen production. Amino acids can also help support your gut and digestion, which (surprise!) can support your whole-body health.  

Can You Drink Collagen Creamer When You’re on a Diet?

Decorated with glowing five-star ratings, Dr. Kellyann’s Vanilla Collagen Creamer is made from grass-fed bovine collagen powder without any artificial or added sugars. Our creamer is sweetened only with monk fruit extract, which is a natural alternative to table sugar. 

Monk fruit is 100 to 250 times sweeter than standard table sugar. That means that you can use less sugar (and, therefore, fewer carbs) to get the same sweet kick. Monk fruit can also be easier on your blood sugar than table sugar by serving size.

This is not your average store-bought creamer. You won’t find any preservatives, artificial thickening agents, or chemicals in Dr. Kellyann’s Vanilla Collagen Creamer. What you will find is grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen, coconut oil powder, and other natural flavors. It is also soy, gluten, and dairy-free and made from non-GMO food sources.

What does this mean for you? It means that Dr. Kellyann’s Vanilla Collagen Creamer is a delicious and nutritious dietary supplement for any morning coffee-lover who’s conscious about what they put in their body. 

It’s also ketogenic, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly. Dr. Kellyann’s Vanilla Collagen Creamer also works well with our bone broth diet and Dr. Kellyann’s 10-Day Belly Slimdown program. 

How Do You Use Our Vanilla Collagen Creamer?

It matters how you choose to start your day. When your day starts with healthy nutrition options instead of processed, sugary foods, your body is properly fueled and ready to tackle the day.

You can use our collagen coffee creamer just like you’d use everyday creamer. Simply pour however much you’d like into your cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the guilt-free vanilla flavor. If it’s up your alley, add in some MCT oil and cocoa powder for a mocha. Or, whip it up to turn your hot coffee into a collagen latte.

By adding Dr. Kellyann’s Vanilla Collagen Creamer to your coffee, you can stand up for your health and wellness. For more collagen supplements, check out our bone broth and collagen smoothies.

Is Our Chocolate Almond Collagen Shake Keto-Friendly?

Dr. Kellyann’s keto Chocolate Almond Collagen Shake pairs perfectly with the keto diet, as well as with the paleo diet and other weight loss meal plans. We can help you enjoy nutrient-rich, hunger-satisfying ketogenic shakes whenever you want. 

Each low-carb shake is packed with 15 grams of protein and is designed to keep you feeling fuller for longer. Substitute your keto breakfast with this delicious shake and enjoy the flavor — and the new waistline.

This keto chocolate shake has so much chocolatey goodness packed inside of each serving that it's hard to believe it could be low in sugar. Our sugar-free recipe uses monk fruit as a sweetener, which is 100 to 250 times sweeter than sugar. Both monk fruit and natural unsweetened cocoa powder have low glycemic indexes, which can support healthy blood sugar levels. 

How Can Our Chocolate Almond Collagen Shake Support Your Health?

When you add grass-fed collagen protein powder and amino acids to your diet every day, you can support your natural collagen production. Since our natural ability to produce collagen begins to decline as we age, eating the right collagen-rich foods is important. 

When our collagen production begins to decline, we start to notice things like fine lines and wrinkles. That’s because collagen proteins act as scaffolding, supporting the firmness and elasticity of our skin. Eating foods to supplement that collagen loss can help support younger-looking skin while also promoting a healthy skin barrier.

Your skin barrier is actually your immune system's first line of defense against infections and illnesses, but as we age, our skin tends to be more susceptible to cracks and tears. A damaged skin barrier may be more permeable to outside invaders and germs — so it’s important to protect your skin and keep it as healthy as possible. 

Dr. Kellyann’s Chocolate Almond Collagen Shake also contains amino acids and prebiotic fiber, which may support gut health. A healthy gut can help support easy digestion, promote younger-looking skin, and support your overall health.

There are trillions of microbes residing in your gut, and they do more than just process your food. These gut microbes are also responsible for fighting off harmful bacteria and toxins and producing vitamin K.

These gut microbes need to eat, and they crave healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. When we eat foods that contain prebiotic fiber, the fiber is passed directly to the microbes, and they are able to eat it to grow and flourish. 

What Recipes Can You Make With Our Chocolate Shake?

Dr. Kellyann’s Chocolate Almond Shakes are so good that you may not want to add any other ingredients. 

However, our favorite shake recipe involves mixing in ¼ cup of frozen raspberries and ½ tablespoon of chia seeds for even more fiber and protein. You can also try adding in a tablespoon of fresh matcha powder or a teaspoon of kelp powder to add in even more essential nutrients. 

For added thickness and healthy fats, try adding MCT oil, peanut butter, almond butter, or another nut butter (just make sure you don’t overdo it on the carbohydrates). Or, thicken it up with some plain ice cubes and throw in a pinch of sea salt to complement other flavors.

Use some heavy cream, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a sweetener like erythritol or stevia to make your own whipped cream to put on top.

The keto smoothie recipes are endless. Even better, you’ll stay within your net carbs and cut the prep time to zero — which is exactly what we love to see. For more keto recipes, check out our blog.

 I formulated these shakes to make sure that even the busiest person has time for a delicious, high-impact protein shake that’ll 1) quench the strongest hunger cravings, 2) satisfy the sweetest sweet-tooth, 3) help you slim down while building lean muscle, and 4) refuel your body after a vigorous workout.

Is the Vanilla Almond Collagen Shake Keto?

If you follow a low-carb diet, then you’re in luck. You can drink Dr. Kellyann’s Vanilla Almond Collagen Shake even if you're following a strict paleo or ketogenic diet.

In fact, our Collagen Shake is really a keto protein shake at its core because each shake is packed with so many nutritious ingredients, like grass-fed collagen protein powder (15 grams of protein to be exact), tons of fiber, and healthy fats.

Plus, our shakes have zero percent added sugar, which helps make things easy when calculating your net carb intake. Since they’re sweetened with delicious monk fruit extract, you can put away your stevia, Swerve, or erythritol — our sugar-free shakes bring all the decadence you crave, without the extra calories.

The keto diet focuses on eating a diet low in carbohydrates and sugars while increasing the amounts of healthy fats and proteins you consume. By switching your diet intake in this way, you can help your body burn fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. 

It’s a process that happens in the liver, where stored fats are broken down and turned into molecules known as ketones. This is why being in this metabolic state is called being in “ketosis.”

When done in a healthy way with foods low in saturated fats, the keto diet can help support your metabolism and may even shrink your waistline.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the keto diet, let us help. You can use this Collagen Shake as a low-carb protein shake, our grass-fed Bone Broth as a delicious keto snack, and our Super Smoothies as keto meals.

So, put away the ice cubes, chocolate protein powder, heavy cream, and artificial sweetener — Dr. Kellyann’s done the hard work for you. Simply mix up this keto protein shake and get on with your day!

What’s Collagen Protein, and How Does It Work?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. 

Collagen proteins play a major part in maintaining the infrastructure of not only our skin but also our bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, hair, and nails. In fact, collagen is commonly referred to as the building block, or scaffolding, of the body. 

Unfortunately, starting at around 20 years old, our bodies stop producing as much natural collagen as they once did. That is why adding a collagen protein powder supplement to your wellness routine can help you look and feel your best.

So, next time you need a high-protein, post-workout shake, look no further than our Collagen Shakes.

Shake It Up: What Smoothie Recipes Can You Make With Our Collagen Shake?

There are so many delicious recipe possibilities when you start with Dr. Kellyann’s Collagen Shake as a base. Get creative! 

Try adding a handful of organic baby spinach, frozen blueberries or strawberries, some chia seeds, and low-carb unsweetened almond milk for a deliciously fruity meal replacement shake. 

Or, add in some keto peanut butter (or substitute with seed butter, almond butter, or other nut butters), some Greek yogurt, and some MCT oil or coconut oil for an easy keto breakfast.

If you’re avoiding the added sugars found in fruit, try a more savory version by mixing in a ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, ginger, or even nutmeg. You can also make it a little more decadent by adding ½ a tablespoon of organic cocoa powder. 

Your options are limitless! And, when you limit added sugars, these will be your go-to keto protein shake.  

Directions: Just add water, shake and enjoy! Or try mixing with coconut milk or almond milk for a creamier and more filling shake. Also, try blending with your favorite fruits and veggies for a kick of added vitamins, nutrients and flavors. 

For even more protein variety: Try my Super Chocolate and Super Vanilla Smoothies  — made with lactose-free whey protein isolate instead of bovine-derived collagen protein.

What Is Collagen, and Why Is It Important?

Of all the proteins in our bodies, collagen reigns supreme as the most abundant protein. Collagen is a coarse and fibrous protein whose job is to connect other complex structures together. 

You can think of collagen as the scaffolding of your skin and connective tissues. It keeps things tightly bound and connected together. It can also support the function of our skin, joints, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bones.

As we mature, our body’s natural ability to produce collagen begins to decline. This can start to happen in our twenties, and external factors like sun exposure, smoking, and alcohol intake, can all have an effect on this decline. 

When collagen production decreases, we may begin to notice things like crow’s feet, and other fine lines and wrinkles, and sagging skin.

Eating a diet rich in essential nutrients, like collagen,  is one way to support your body’s waning collagen production. When we consume collagen, our digestive systems break it down into amino acids. 

Amino acids are the “building blocks” of all other proteins in the body. Once collagen is broken down into amino acids, they are then sent all over the body to wherever protein is needed. 

Amino acids play many important roles in our bodies. Alongside supporting collagen and protein production, they can also support gut health. Two amino acids, glutamine and glycine, can help support good gut bacteria, support cell growth, promote a healthy intestinal lining, and help our digestive systems break down fats more completely.  

Dr. Kellyann’s hydrolyzed collagen is made from grinding the materials of hormone-free, grass-fed beef raised in Germany and Brazil. After the animal matter has been ground, it is soaked in hydrochloric acid and then dehydrated. 

Food for Thought: What Recipes Can You Make With Our Super Chocolate Smoothie?

Dr. Kellyann’s Super Chocolate Smoothie packs in so much chocolatey flavor it is extremely satisfying on its own. If you like to get creative in the kitchen and want to change things up, there are many different yummy recipes you can try.

We love to add a  ¼ of a frozen banana,  a ¼ cup of frozen raspberries, and unsweetened almond milk into a blender to make a rich, decadent smoothie. Try adding ¼ of a ripe banana, one tablespoon of peanut butter (or substitute for almond butter or another nut butter), and dairy-free milk to create a chocolate peanut butter protein shake.

Add a little vanilla extract or use vanilla almond milk for an extra kick of flavor. Add ice cubes, chia seeds, or Greek yogurt to thicken up your protein smoothie, or add extra cacao powder to create a double-chocolate milkshake.

We’ve already sweetened this milkshake with monk fruit extract, which is much sweeter than regular cane sugar. However, if you’re craving a little extra sweetener and your diet allows it, use some maple syrup to take your chocolate protein shake recipe to the next level.

Enjoy this low-carb, protein-packed smoothie on its own, or set aside some prep time to create your own special smoothie recipe.
