A Dessert can be creamy, delicious and still fit beautifully into your everyday beauty and wellness routine. These Chia Collagen Cakes combine creamy Greek yogurt and chia seeds with a crunchy biscuit base and dark chocolate for a rich, satisfying finish.
I made them with Wellbe Beauty Collagen Wildberry with Rejuva® Complex formula, a collagen powder created with beauty and everyday wellness in mind. It contains PEPTAN® bioactive collagen hydrolysate with collagen types I, II and III, together with vitamin C, biotin, zinc, MSM, L-lysine and hyaluronic acid.
Collagen is an important protein naturally found in our skin, while vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation and biotin and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and hair. This makes the combination especially interesting for women who want to incorporate collagen and beauty-supporting nutrients into their daily routine.
The Wildberry flavor adds a lovely fruity note to this creamy dessert, and the convenient 5 g portions make the collagen easy to use every day.

The chia seeds are responsible for much of the texture. When they sit in the Greek yogurt, they absorb moisture and swell, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency. This gives the filling its creamy texture without needing gelatin or cream.
Chia seeds are a simple way to add fiber, plant-based fats and additional nutrients to a dessert. They also make the recipe more satisfying while helping create that thick, creamy texture.
I used Wellbe Beauty Collagen Wildberry with Rejuva® Complex formula because the formula combines collagen peptides with several additional beauty-supporting nutrients.
It contains PEPTAN® bioactive collagen hydrolysate with collagen types I, II and III, as well as vitamin C, biotin, zinc, MSM, L-lysine and hyaluronic acid. According to Wellbe, the product is made with bovine collagen, comes in convenient 5 g portions and is laboratory tested and produced in Germany.
Vitamin C has a specific nutritional role in collagen production. It contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. This is one reason vitamin C is included in the Rejuva® Complex formula.
The wildberry flavor works especially well here because the chia and Greek yogurt mixture is naturally mild and creamy. The fruity collagen adds another layer of flavor without needing fresh fruit or additional flavoring.
