Curated, not stocked.
Collagen is underrepresented in most modern diets — we simply do not eat the cuts of meat or fish our ancestors did. Freja Foods has built a brand specifically around this protein class rather than treating it as an afterthought. For patients and clients who train consistently or want to maintain connective tissue health as they age, a quality collagen shake is a practical, food-based way to close that gap daily.
About this product
Collagen Protein Shake - Chocolate
The Freja Foods Collagen Protein Shake in Chocolate is a food-first protein drink built around collagen protein and cocoa. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body, found in connective tissue, skin, joints, and bone. As a food source of protein, it offers a different amino acid profile to whey or plant-based alternatives — notably rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are less common in typical Western diets.
This shake suits people who train regularly and want to support recovery, but also those who simply need a convenient, higher-protein option mid-morning or between meals. The chocolate flavour comes from cocoa, keeping the ingredient list grounded. It mixes with water or milk, making it practical at home, at a desk, or in a gym bag.
Collagen protein is not a complete protein by the standard amino acid scoring model, so it works best alongside a varied diet rather than as a sole protein source. That said, it fills a genuine gap — most people eat very little collagen-rich food, and a shake format makes regular intake straightforward.
Freja Foods focuses on collagen as a category, which suggests a degree of formulation attention to this specific protein class rather than a generalist supplement approach. For a performance-focused routine, this sits naturally as a post-workout or afternoon food option where both protein intake and palatability matter.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Is collagen protein a complete protein?
No. Collagen is low in tryptophan, which means it does not meet the technical definition of a complete protein. It is best used alongside other protein sources — eggs, fish, dairy, or legumes — rather than as your only protein food.
How does this differ from a whey protein shake?
Whey is a complete protein with a high leucine content, making it well-studied for muscle protein synthesis. Collagen offers a different amino acid profile — rich in glycine and proline — which is relevant for connective tissue, skin, and joints. The two serve overlapping but distinct roles, and some people use both.
Can I use this if I am dairy-free?
The listed ingredients are collagen protein and cocoa, neither of which is dairy-derived. However, check the packaging for allergen and cross-contamination information specific to this product before relying on that.
When is the best time to have this shake?
It fits well post-workout, mid-morning, or as an afternoon snack when you need a protein-forward option and a meal is not practical. There is no single clinically mandated window for collagen food intake.
Who might not be suited to this product?
Anyone with a known allergy or intolerance to ingredients in the product should check the full label carefully. Collagen is animal-derived, so it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a specific health condition, check with your GP or dietitian before adding new food products to your routine.
