Ingredients (Serves 1)
250 ml (1 cup) filtered water or coconut water
1 scoop (approx. 10 g) unflavored collagen peptides
1 tsp vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) or juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp açai or blueberry powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder (optional)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 tsp chia seeds (optional; soak 5 minutes prior)
Ice cubes (optional, for a refreshing chill)
Instructions
In a glass or shaker bottle, combine water (or coconut water) and collagen peptides. Stir or shake until fully dissolved.
Add vitamin C powder (or lemon juice), açai/blueberry powder, and turmeric. Mix well to avoid clumps.
Sweeten with honey or maple syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
If using chia seeds, add them last and give a quick stir. Let sit 5 minutes for chia to gel.
Serve over ice if desired. Stir before sipping to re-mix settled powders.

Stay consistent—daily intake over 8–12 weeks yields the most visible improvements.
Pair with a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and lean proteins.
