But let’s face it: Spending hours in the kitchen whipping up breakfast for guests is the complete opposite of what you want to do after a long work week. The answer? Set up a DIY brunch bar, of course. You can make it super-customizable so that all of your friends, no matter what their food sensitivities are, can partake. Founder of Kale & Caramel and whole-foods-centric recipe developer Lily Diamond hosted brunch at Well+Good’s latest retreat in Austin, Texas, and has the perfect party-made-easy dish in mind: DIY chia pudding parfaits in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and green tea. With this brilliant layout, your guests can easily tweak the flavors and colorful mix-ins to their liking. “Visually, you can elevate a simple breakfast to a work of art with naturally gorgeous colors and textures,” Diamond says. All you need are bowls, several superfood toppings like anti-inflammatory turmeric or antioxidant-rich matcha, and LACTAID®—100 percent real milk, just without the lactose, and Diamond’s secret for a creamy, dreamy pudding base. It’s so easy you won’t think twice about sending out invites to everyone you know, including your friends who are sensitive to lactose. Watch the video above to see the brunch hack in action, and scroll down for the full recipe. Vanilla, Chocolate, Matcha, or Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding Yield: 3 servings Ingredients

Everyone, it seems (vegans aside) raves about its beauty– and digestion-boosting powers—yet despite its occurring naturally in foods like fish, meat, and eggs, the ingredient has remained relatively inaccessible to the masses. Case in point: Dirty Lemon—a brand that was among the first to hop on board the collagen train—made it a point to not be available in stores. There are supplements, but they come at a pricey cost, as if they’re magic beans grown from water flowing from an exclusive fountain of youth. But all that inner-circle collagen whispering has taken the protein to a more mainstream level, and thankfully, it’s easier to find than ever before. One of the biggest trends Well+Good’s editors saw at ExpoWest 2019—aka the world’s biggest natural products convention—was collagen being worked into foods and drinks people love consuming anyway. Oatmeal, protein bars, even water are all getting the collagen glow-up—and will soon be available at mainstream supermarkets for non-cringeworthy prices. It’s about time! Drinkable collagen 2.0 There are a ton of collagen powder blends and products out there, where you just blend a scoop into your favorite smoothie to get a hit. Now you can buy collagen-infused water, the latest launch from Vital Proteins. “I wanted to take the Vital Proteins brand into the beverage space in an effort to help make collagen even more approachable,” says Vital Proteins founder and CEO Kurt
