]]> Known for boosting your hair, skin, nails, bones, and muscles, collagen is an important protein for your health. While collagen is produced naturally in your body, there are some nutritious foods that can provide you with a natural boost of collagen for your body.

Fish

Particularly high in omega-3 fats, fish offers a particularly high volume of quality protein in the form of amino acids that significantly fuel collagen production. Salmon, anchovies, and sardines are all rich sources of collagen.

Citrus Fruits

Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and limes are all rich in Vitamin C, which helps to naturally preserve collagen in your body while also facilitating your body’s production of this important protein.

Eggs

Given their proline, zinc, and sulfur content, eggs are highly effective at supporting collagen-building in the body. While many avoid the yolk due to watching their cholesterol, the egg whites themselves are filled with these collagen-fueling properties.

  3. Simmer for half an hour.

Because you can never have to much oatmeal 🙈🙈I made sure to take in some well needed fuel before today’s lower body workout I was in desperate need of. Spring Break for my oldest definitely is not a vacation for mom 😑😑 More like extra chaos and rushing around for this momma so it was nice to get in a good workout. I topped my Steel Cut Oats w/ Banana, Cocoa Powder, Unsweetened Coconut, Almond Butter, Chia & Hemp Seeds. The perfect balance for a PreWorkout Meal 😏 #healthyfood #healthybreakfast #healthyeating #healthyfuel #preworkout #preworkoutmeal #preworkoutfuel #preworkoutfood #steelcutoats #steelcutoatmeal #steelcutoatsfordays #weightlossfood #weightlossfoodideas #legdayfuel #legdaypreworkout
