Rescription for 1 serving

Ingredients:

water 150 g (2/3 cup)
gelatin 10 g (2 teaspoons)
Natu.Care Collagen Premium 5000 mg, mango-maracuja
vanilla syrup 60 g (3 tbsp)
raspberries 40 g (handful)

Preparation:

Dissolve the gelatine in water, set aside for a minute, then heat slightly in a saucepan/microwave (be careful not to boil it as it will lose its gelling properties).
Pour the collagen into a tall glass of water, mix thoroughly and add the dissolved gelatine.
Place in the fridge for a few hours to set the jelly
Place the vanilla skyr and a handful of raspberries on top of the jelly

This jelly is a great source of proline - an amino acid that helps rebuild joint cartilage, which will work well for intensive exercisers and older people. Raspberries are a treasure trove of vitamin C, which will further aid collagen absorption. They also have a high satiety index and pair deliciously with vanilla cream.

Prepare several portions at once, and if you've made one - keep an eye on it! It can disappear quickly from the fridge...
