Chief Chocolate Collagen

Chief Chocolate Collagen provides collagen peptides and amino acids that help support connective tissue, skin health and overall nourishment while boosting the protein content of the recipe.

Dark Chocolate & Cacao

Dark chocolate and cacao provide polyphenols and naturally occurring compounds, including magnesium, helping create a rich flavour while supporting the nervous system.

Egg yolks provide healthy fats, choline and fat-soluble vitamins which help make this dessert more nourishing and satisfying.

Cooked & Cooled Rice

Cooked and cooled rice provides comforting carbohydrates and resistant starch, helping support gut health while creating the creamy base of this pudding.

Ginger

Ginger helps support digestion while providing a warming flavour that pairs beautifully with chocolate.

Warm Comfort Foods

Warm, nourishing foods can feel especially supportive during periods of stress or burnout when energy, appetite or motivation to cook may be lower.
