Tips For Using Elderberry Collagen

After months of sourcing, testing, tweaking, testing, testing, then testing some more we finally came up with the Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen Elderberry that we are Perfectly Proud of!

On this page, we provide some simple tips to help you have the perfect experience with the Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen Elderberry.

When It Comes To Pure Elderberry — Bring On The Heat!

After sourcing the purest organic elderberry and monk fruit and doing endless recipes to get the flavor profile just right, we hit one little snag. Pure organic elderberry and hydrolyzed collagen, when mixed into cold water will clump.

Mix the Elderberry Collagen in hot water and it dissolves perfectly. Prefer your Elderberry Collagen cold? Add some ice water to that pre-mixed Elderberry Collagen and you have a cool, delicious, nutritious high protein drink.

So we had to make a decision. Add some synthetic mixing agents, with no nutritional value, that force the Elderberry Collagen to dissolve in cold water… or keep it pure and just tell our wonderful customers to mix the elderberry collagen in hot water first.

Guess which one we picked . :)

Start Off Hot!
When hand mixing the Elderberry Collagen into a drink, always start with a hot beverage. Water from a tea kettle is best but even hot water from the tap works.

Can You Only Use Elderberry Collagen In Hot Drinks?
You absolutely can enjoy cold beverages with the Elderberry Collagen. When hand mixing, you would just want to start with a hot beverage, mix in the collagen, then add the cold beverage. This video shows us making an iced elderberry collagen drink.

Can't Stand The Heat? Good News!
Smoothies are another great way to enjoy a cool elderberry collagen treat. When using a blender, you will not need to pre-mix the elderberry collagen in hot water.

What’s The Problem with Mixing Elderberry Collagen Directly Into Cold Drink?
Just that it tends to clump up and stick to the spoon. The nutrients will still be in the drink, the elderberry collagen does not need a hot beverage to be activated or release its nutrients… it’s just unpleasant to have a drink that has clumps in it.

Can I Bake With Collagen and Use It In Other Recipes?
You sure can and we totally encourage that. For example, if you want to add a boost of protein to your muffins, pancakes or cookies… with a delicious organic elderberry flavor – the Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen Elderberry is a great choice.

We are so excited to see all the fabulous ways you use our Elderberry Collagen.
