What can I mix beef gelatin powder with for everyday use?

What are some good ways to incorporate beef gelatin powder into my daily routine?

Hi everyone! I’m a 29-year-old female who just learned I have disc degeneration disease. To help manage my condition, I’m looking to enhance my diet with more collagen.

I recently bought some beef gelatin powder, which suggests it can be added to both hot and cold drinks. This morning, I tried mixing it into my coffee, but it turned into a chunky mess! I ended up chugging it just so I wouldn’t waste the scoop I used.

If you’ve used beef gelatin before, what do you mix it with? I’d love any tips or suggestions! Thanks!

  1. Hi there! Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but incorporating collagen and gelatin into your diet can be helpful. Here are some ideas for mixing beef gelatin powder that may work better for you:

    1. Smoothies: Blend your gelatin powder with your favorite fruits, yogurt, and a bit of liquid (milk, almond milk, or juice) to ensure it dissolves smoothly.

    2. Soups and Broths: You can stir the gelatin into hot soups or bone broth. Just make sure to dissolve it in a little warm water first to avoid clumping.

    3. Oatmeal or Porridge: Mix it into your hot oatmeal while it’s cooking, or stir it in after it’s done. This can add a nice texture without the chunkiness.

    4. Protein Shakes: If you enjoy protein shakes, mix in the gelatin powder with the other ingredients before blending to avoid clumps.

    5. Baking: If you bake, you can add it to recipes like muffins, pancakes, or even homemade granola bars.

    6. Nut Milk: If you make almond or cashew milk, blend the gelatin into the nut milk and sweetener for a smooth consistency.

    7. Jellies and Desserts: Make your own jello or gummy snacks by dissolving gelatin in a fruit juice mixture.

    Remember to dissolve the gelatin in a little warm liquid first if you’re adding it to colder items. This can help prevent clumping. Good luck, and I hope you find some combinations that work for you!
