🥣 Watermelon & Coconut Water Gazpacho with Collagen

✅ Why This Recipe Works — Culinarily & Nutritionally

🍽️ 1. Flavour Harmony

• Tomatoes + watermelon create a balance of sweet and savoury, forming a vibrant flavour base.

• Coconut water adds subtle natural sweetness and electrolytes, enhancing hydration and blending well with both fruit and vegetable flavours.

• Cucumber and red pepper bring freshness and earthiness, rounding out the profile.

• Red onion and balsamic vinegar add complexity, acidity, and depth.

• Fresh mint brightens and cools the whole dish.

💪 2. Collagen Integration

• The Perfect Halal Beauty Collagen Powder Unflavoured collagen peptides dissolve easily in cold liquid and are virtually undetectable in taste or texture when blended correctly.

• Collagen adds functional nutrition: supporting skin, joints, gut health, and connective tissue — especially valuable in low-protein dishes like traditional gazpacho.

⚖️ 3. Balanced, Light, and Functional

• Raw, plant-rich ingredients provide antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and hydration.

• The addition of collagen balances the macros by adding high-quality protein without altering the flavour, making the soup more filling and complete as a meal or snack.

🧊 4. Refreshing and Restorative

This gazpacho is not only flavourful and cooling — it’s restorative. Thanks to the:

• Hydrating ingredients (watermelon, cucumber, coconut water)

• Anti-inflammatory mint and red pepper

• Digestive-friendly The Perfect Halal Beauty Collagen Peptides

It’s ideal post-workout, on hot days, or as a nourishing reset meal.
