ingredients

1 cup cold milk (dairy or plant-based)

directions
-
Prepare the fruits
Dice the strawberries and watermelon into small cubes. Chill them in the fridge for 10–15 minutes. -
Mix the base
In a large glass bowl or pitcher, whisk together Strawberry Milk Collagen, cold milk, and honey/maple syrup (if using). Stir until fully dissolved and creamy. -
Assemble the 화채
Add ice cubes to the chilled bowl, then gently mix in the strawberries and watermelon chunks. -
Frothy finish
Whisk milk and yogurt until lightly foamy. Spoon the foam over the top layer of fruit — it should float softly like a cream cloud. -
Serve
Serve immediately in clear glass bowls for a beautiful, dreamy presentation. Enjoy with a spoon or straw.

faq
Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes — prepare the milk base and fruit separately. Combine just before serving to keep the foam fresh.
Does collagen affect the flavor?
No — it dissolves completely, adding beauty benefits without altering the taste.
Is this dairy-free?
Absolutely — use oat, almond, or coconut milk and coconut yogurt for a fully plant-based version.
