75 Ways to Get More Gelatin in Your Life

gelatin, health benefits of gelatin, gelatin recipes

Want to improve your digestion?  Want to heal your gut?  Want tighter, smoother skin and stronger hair, nails, and bones?  Gelatin can help!  And today I am sharing 75 ways that you can more of this superfood into your diet.

A while back, I wrote about all of the amazing health benefits of gelatin.  Here’s a quick recap, in case you missed it.  Why gelatin rocks:

  • Improves digestion and heals leaky gut
  • Strengthens hair, nails, and bones
  • Improves the elasticity of skin
  • Can help heal food allergies and intolerances
  • Is good for bone and joint health
  • Helps speed wound healing
  • Improves quality of sleep
  • Helps with detoxification
  • Helps with weight loss

I’ve been using gelatin as a real food supplement for some time now.  My favorite way by far to get gelatin into my diet is to make my own homemade bone broth.  It’s easy, cheap, and delicious.  But if you do not have time to make your won broth, or just want to amp up the amount of gelatin you are consuming, there are 2 excellent gelatin supplements made from grass fed animals.

Regular Grass Fed Beef Gelatin

Regular gelatin is the gelatin you would use when you want something to “gel”  like gelatin desserts and gummy snacks.  It requires hot water to dissolve.

Collagen Peptide

Collagen peptide is the gelatin that I use in my smoothies and drinks.  It has a smaller molecular structure so it will dissolve in cold liquids.  It is completely flavorless and will not “gel.” I know folks who also add this to their daily coffee or tea.

I buy all of my gelatin online HERE.  Vital Proteins is by far the cleanest and best grass fed gelatin and collagen source that I have found.  All of their products are sourced from pasture raised bovine hides from Brazil to ensure a natural, high quality, and sustainable product.  It has more protein and amino acids per serving than other brands.  I also find the collagen peptides to be smoother and less grainy then other brands.  I also like the packaging.  It comes in non-BPA, air-tight canisters, preventing moisture with it’s own little scooper.

Now that you know how awesome gelatin is, here’s 75 easy recipes to help you get more of in your life:

🍋 🍋 LEMON POPPY SEED DONUTS • when life gi 🍋 🍋 LEMON POPPY SEED DONUTS • when life gives you a bag of lemons, you make the best of it • even though we prioritize healthy eating, there’s room for treats like these • we call it balance 😉 • baking is one of my favorite things to do with my little one👩‍🍳 • we’ve had a year solid of being home, distance learning, + missing being out in the world • baking is one of those small pockets of JOY that brightens our daily life ☀️☀️

🍋 🍋 light and fluffy (gluten and grain free) donuts dipped them in a sweet lemony glaze • the bright lemon flavor kinda adds a bit of sunshine to the day 🍋☀️🍋

🍋 🍋 recipe link in bio (and i linked the donut pan that i use in the post): https://www.savorylotus.com/lemon-poppy-seed-donuts-gluten-free-and-grain-free/
sauerkraut • love it? hate it? • it’s one of sauerkraut • love it? hate it? • it’s one of the easier + most cost effective ways to support your gut • i make it every couple of months • its easy once you understand the basics of fermentation • i have a step by step tutorial if you’re ready to dive in ✨✨

link to tutorial in bio : https://www.savorylotus.com/easy-sauerkraut-recipe/

what you’ll need:
cabbage
salt
1/2 gallon wide mouth mason jar (or you can use 2 wide mouth quart sized jars)
air-tight fermentation lid
🥕🌿🍠 veggie game strong today • crucifer 🥕🌿🍠 veggie game strong today • cruciferous vegetable = superfoods • this + sweet potato rounds + a big cup of bone broth is what’s up for dinner 

collard green
green cabbage
purple cabbage 
carrot 
tons of fresh ginger 

👉 and, yes, not everyone tolerates cruciferous vegetables • i didn’t used too • i’ve done a lot of work on my gut + digestion • and i still prefer them cooked as they are easier to digest • eat slowly • give thanks (gratitude has a positive effect on the nervous system) • chew well (so your body can release all the enzymes needed to digest your food) ❤️• it’s so so important to eat in a relaxed environment so the body can rest + digest • eating while in “hurry” mode leads to indigestion and poor absorption
simple dinner • we eat wild salmon 🐟 once a w simple dinner • we eat wild salmon 🐟 once a week to get in those omega 3s • my favorite way to cook it is to sprinkle with salt + a bit of ghee on top + broil it for 8-9 minutes • so easy + today we added steamed green beans + a cauliflower + romanesco mash • plus tons of olive oil + ghee

to make cauliflower + romanesco mash, add florets from one head of each to a large pot • add in 1 cup of bone broth + sprinkle with a bit of salt • cover with lid • steam florets in broth until tender, adding more broth if bottom runs dry • once florets are very tender, add lots of ghee or butter + salt to taste • purée smooth with an immersion blender • add more broth to make it creamy smooth • so good 💛• don’t forget to add a ghee (or butter) pool when serving 

when we can’t get wild, local salmon, we order from @vitalchoice
