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.

Vital Proteins

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

  • 💗 the older i get, the less interested i am in building a life that looks good from the outside • i’d rather build one i genuinely love living 

💗 this is my kind of vacation:

* a quiet lake
* my favorite people
* time outside 
* simple meals 

💗 nothing fancy 

💗 i think the  best parts of taking ownership of your life is realizing you get to decide what a good life looks like 

💗 spending time with BOTH of my girls is EVERYTHING  to me
  • ✨ 5 years ago, i completely uprooted my life because i felt a call for something different • i don’t have a single regret 

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
  • ☀️sunlight sets the tone for my day and for my hormones • i’m 52• moving towards menopause • not doing complicated protocols, hormones or peptides • finding my way through slowing down, getting strong , simplifying, and being intentional with what ACTUALLY supports my body • every woman has a different journey • and i’m figuring out mine 💗
  • 💗 some things are out of our control • AND we have more agency over what happens to us than we think • a beautiful life is built in the habits we repeat 💗
  • • anyone else feel tired of all the noise? • trying to find my place here again • as i navigate big changes in my own life seasons • what actually makes a beautiful life ? 🌈✨
  • • becoming intentional about every aspect of my life has brought so much peace, contentment, and joy into my life • as i get older, i crave a slower, more deliberate pace to life • feeling grateful • 🙏
  • 🥦🥒🥬 growing your own food is a powerful way to support your health • you get fresh food + sunshine, fresh air and movement when you work in your garden • you don’t need a HUGE homestead • you can grow in containers on your apartment patio • you can create raised beds in your front yard • you can create an urban garden in the middle of a city 

🥦🥬🥒 we are blessed with a bit of land in western NC (about an acre) • 8 garden beds provide space to grow lots of things • i concentrate on building healthy soil • no pesticides or chemical • we also have berries and fruit trees planted around the yard 

🥦🥒🥬 there’s a deep satisfaction that comes from working the soil, tending the plants, harvesting the vegetables, and eating what we grow • it connects me to SOURCE/GOD 💗 and reminds me to stay in rhythm with NATURE • grateful 🙏
