Fat spent years with a bad reputation, but the truth is simpler and friendlier: healthy fats are a normal, welcome part of a balanced diet. They give you energy, help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, and make food genuinely satisfying. Here are the fats we love in our own kitchen and a few easy ways we use them.
Hi, Sheri and Gina here from Yonder. We are big believers in real, whole foods, and good fats are a happy part of that. Here is how we think about them.
The fats we reach for
- Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling and low-heat cooking.
- Avocados and avocado oil for everything from toast to higher-heat cooking.
- Grass-fed butter and ghee for flavor and traditional cooking.
- Nuts, seeds, and their butters for snacks and texture.
- Wild-caught fish for a naturally fatty, protein-rich meal.
- Coconut oil and MCTs, which we love so much we put them in our Creamy Vanilla Collagen with MCT.
The theme is simple: we choose traditional, minimally processed fats and enjoy them as part of real meals. Whole-food fats have been on plates for generations, and they still belong there.
Pairing fats with clean protein
A little fat and a little protein turn a snack into a meal that actually holds you. That is where Yonder collagen earns its place in our kitchen. A scoop blended into a smoothie with avocado or nut butter is one of our favorite easy combos: it adds 10 to 20g of collagen (plus a bonus 9 to 18g of clean protein) in one to two scoops, and because it is flavorless grass-fed collagen it disappears into whatever you are making. Yonder collagen supports skin, hair, nails, joints, and bone health as part of a daily routine, and it is single-ingredient, third-party tested, and certified Glyphosate Residue-Free by The Detox Project. Try it in Unflavored, Creamy Vanilla with MCT, or Chocolate, and browse our recipe blog for ways to use it.
