Okay, real talk: summer’s basically knocking at the door, and I was still feeling… not ready. Like, at all.
Bloated. Puffy. My skin was meh. And no matter how “clean” I tried to eat, my body just felt stuck. I kept thinking, “Is this just what over 40 feels like now?”
I’ve never been a fan of quick-fix detox teas or sketchy weight-loss powders. I’ve been burned before. So when I first saw people hyping up SkinnyFit’s Super Youth Collagen, I had one eyebrow all the way raised.
Collagen? For skin, sure. But for digestion, bloat, and metabolism? I didn’t buy it.
Still… that Strawberry Watermelon flavor did sound kind of amazing. And I figured, “Okay, let’s give it a try.”
Here’s how it went.
The real reason I decided to try it was the ingredients.
When my SkinnyFit Super Youth bag arrived, the first thing I did was flip it around and read the ingredients like I was back in college prepping for an exam. I wanted to know what exactly made this stuff different.
- 5 types of collagen (Types I, II, III, V, X) – so it’s not just skin-deep, it supports joints, elasticity, and connective tissues too
- 13-strain probiotic blend – for gut health and digestion support
- Apple cider vinegar & Organic Baobab fiber – to help reduce bloating naturally
- Hyaluronic acid & vitamin C – to boost hydration and promote a healthy glow
I was impressed. This didn’t feel like another “pink drink” with empty promises. It actually had the right mix of digestive, beauty, and wellness support I needed.
Week one: small changes but still noticeable ones!
I started with the simplest option: mixing one scoop into cold water. It blended easily, and the Strawberry Watermelon flavor was way better than I expected. There was no weird aftertaste or fake sweetness—it was refreshing and light.
By day three or four, I started noticing the small things. My stomach didn’t feel as heavy after meals, and I didn’t wake up feeling puffy. And yes, my digestion was finally doing what it was supposed to do.
The biggest shift was how I felt. Not just physically, but mentally—like I could finally exhale a little. That bloated, sluggish feeling that had been dragging me down started to fade.
By week two, it became a non-negotiable.
By the time week two rolled around, I had completely stopped questioning it. Super Youth was now a part of my daily routine, no reminders needed.
It mixed so easily, I started getting creative—adding it to iced tea, smoothies, even a little sparkling water with lime when I wanted a fun mocktail. It tasted great, no matter what, which honestly made it so easy to stick with.
And I didn’t have to overhaul my routine or force anything. It just slid into my mornings like it had always been there.
Why this one’s staying in my routine.
After a few weeks, I was seeing real, consistent benefits:
- Less bloating after meals
- More regular digestion
- Smoother, more hydrated skin
- Stronger nails and faster-growing hair
- More energy throughout the day
And for me, that’s the magic—it wasn’t a dramatic before-and-after moment, but a gradual return to feeling like me. My body felt lighter, my skin looked fresher, and I wasn’t dragging my way through every afternoon.
If you’re on the fence, try it anyway! It’s 100% worth it – I promise.
If you’re skeptical like I was, I get it. But sometimes your body just needs the right support to feel better, from the inside out. SkinnyFit lets you try before you buy, so it’s not a big risk to find out if it could be the missing piece in your routine.
Summer is coming, whether we’re ready or not. But this time, I (for once) feel ready—and it started with one scoop of collagen.
