In a bowl, mix lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.

Make the Collagen Crema:

Blend all crema ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Adjust salt and lime juice to taste.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.

Assemble the Tacos:

Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds per side.
Fill each tortilla with shrimp, shredded cabbage, diced avocado, and crumbled cheese.
Drizzle with collagen crema and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges for extra zest!

If you're in a rush, you can skip marinating and have this dish ready in 15 minutes! The cook time can be anything between 5-6 minutes, just keep a good eye on the shrimp to not overcook.

Fantastic

Doesn’t get thick and gross like many others. Doesn’t have a weird after taste. It’s clean. My skin is starting to look less dry

Best Collagen Product

I have used several collagen products, but was interested in Yonder as a smaller, woman owned business. I found the taste and solubility better for Yonder than for other products. I tried a bone broth product thinking it was the same thing but it not only didn't taste good it didn't help with the inflammation in my joints. Once I was back using Yonder the inflammation reduced significantly.

Seeing results

I have been using collagen powder since after finishing chemotherapy in 2020. Yonder collagen powder with MCT is the best tasting powder for my coffee. The best thing is that the muscle pain and stiffness from my medication to keep the cancer from returning, is mostly gone. My hair is healthy again, and overall I just feel so much better.

Yummy!

My favorite Yonder collagen is the decadent chocolate. When it comes to enjoying chocolate while staying healthy, Yonder Chocolate Collagen is a total game-changer. On hot days, I mix it with cold milk for a creamy, refreshing treat that feels indulgent but has zero sugar. It satisfies your sweet cravings without any guilt! And when the weather turns chilly, I whip it up into a cozy, warm hot chocolate that’s perfect for starting cold mornings. Thank you, Yonder, for creating the perfect treat while supporting a healthier lifestyle.

It’s sinfully good good.

You don’t feel like you’re taking a collagen powder that’s going to be pasty or dry or chalky. It taste decadent. It feels like you’re cheating really
