Why Collagen-Infused Jelly?
Collagen is essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints. By infusing it into your diet in the form of a tasty jelly, you get a fun and delicious way to enjoy these benefits. The Uvolve Mix In Collagen used in this recipe is an easy way to boost your collagen intake daily, which helps to support your body’s natural collagen production. This is especially important as collagen levels decrease with age, leading to the need for supplementation. These jellies provide a refreshing way to enjoy a dessert-like treat that also works wonders for your body from the inside out.
Health Benefits of Collagen:
Improves skin elasticity: Helps reduce wrinkles and promotes hydration.
Supports joint health: Aids in reducing joint discomfort and stiffness.
Strengthens nails and hair: Promotes healthier, stronger nails and reduces hair breakage.
Supports muscle recovery: Collagen is rich in amino acids that help muscles recover post-workout.
Collagen-Infused Jelly
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make your collagen-infused jellies:
1 packet Aeroplane Jelly Lite (flavour of your choice)
1 ½ tablespoons gelatin
200ml boiling water
15g Uvolve Mix In Collagen
Instructions
Dissolve the Jelly and Gelatin: Start by dissolving the entire packet of Aeroplane Jelly Lite and 1 ½ tablespoons of gelatin in 200ml of boiling water. Stir the mixture well until both the jelly and gelatin are completely dissolved.
Add Collagen: Once the jelly mix is smooth, add in 15g of Uvolve Mix In Collagen. Stir thoroughly to ensure the collagen is fully incorporated into the jelly mixture. The collagen will blend smoothly, making sure each bite has the full nutritional benefits.
Pour and Set: Choose your favourite moulds (silicone moulds work best for easy removal) or simply pour the mixture into a dish. Place in the fridge and allow the jelly to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, you’ll have a batch of collagen-packed jellies that you can enjoy as a snack or dessert.
Serve and Enjoy: After the jelly has set, remove from the moulds and enjoy your tasty, collagen-boosted treat!

One of the best parts about this recipe is the flexibility! You can experiment with different flavors of Aeroplane Jelly Lite to keep things interesting. Some flavor options include:
Strawberry: A classic and fruity option, perfect for summer.
Lime: For a refreshing and zesty twist.
Passionfruit: Adds an exotic flair to your jellies.
If you’re looking for an extra health boost, consider adding in some fresh fruit pieces like strawberries or blueberries before setting the jelly in the fridge. Not only will it add a burst of natural sweetness, but it will also enhance the texture and appearance of the jellies.

Collagen Facts
Age and Collagen Loss: After the age of 25, your body’s natural collagen production begins to decline. By age 40, your collagen levels can drop by up to 25%, making supplementation key to maintaining youthful skin and joint health.
Protein Power: Collagen is packed with protein, helping to keep you feeling fuller for longer. It’s an excellent choice if you’re trying to increase your protein intake or manage your weight.
Storing Your Collagen Jellies
These jellies can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness, and they’ll be ready to grab whenever you need a quick, healthy snack.
