Pan-cat
Classic panna cotta is an Italian no-bake dessert made with cream, sugar, gelatin, and vanilla. There are several “carriers” of collagen here. Gelatin is a form of collagen that is obtained by boiling animal bones, cartilage, and skin for several hours. The protein and amino acids in gelatin help the body produce collagen. The second source of collagen is berries, which are usually used to decorate the dessert. Berries, like citrus fruits, are a natural source of vitamin C, which allows the body to form collagen and use it effectively.
Chia pudding with kiwi, strawberries and banana
In addition to berries, which have antioxidant properties and prevent collagen breakdown, this dessert also contains chia seeds. These magical crumbs contain omega-3 polyunsaturated acid, which is invaluable for health, and protects the skin from premature aging. This fatty acid is also involved in the production of collagen.
Jelly with tropical fruits
The beneficial properties of jelly are already known. The main source of collagen in desserts can be supplemented with tropical fruits. Kiwi, mango, pineapple and guava – these tropical fruits are rich in vitamin C. And guava has a small amount of zinc, which is another supporting factor for collagen production.
Kissel
Traditional kissel can be a trendy dessert if you reconsider the approach to its preparation. First, the serving: it can be served as a fruit soup, decorated with berries and whipped cream. Second, the recipe: you need to add gelatin or agar to it – and you get not only a tasty dessert, but also a dessert that is good for the health of your joints and skin. Adding berries and fruits with vitamin C will double the benefits. By the way, kissel has an anti-inflammatory effect and soothes. Getting into the esophagus and stomach, it envelops their walls and protects them from the negative effects of gastric juice, as well as bile.
Smoothie with berries
Raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries — all of these berries contain vitamin C, antioxidants, and ellagic acid, which prevent collagen breakdown under the influence of UV rays. Therefore, another collagen dessert for a healthy diet is a smoothie made with berries, preferably seasonal (or frozen).
