Collagen Peptides are all the rage in the food blogger sphere, incorporating this powerful anti-aging powder in everything from smoothies to soups and more. In my opinion, collagen powder is a gift from above for those who want to rebuild and improve the skin's appearance. Amen to that! One of my favorite ways to consume collagen is in smoothies. The flavor-less powder doesn't alter the taste of the ingredients in the smoothie, instead, it adds a layer of creaminess for a delicious bonus to your morning meal.
Smoothies aren’t just for breakfast anymore. They are the perfect go-to option for a quick lunch, healthy mid-day snack, a light dinner, or late night cravings. The tropical flavors in this smoothie are refreshing, but what I love most is the versatility of this recipe. Use it as a base, then change it up by adding spinach, nut butter, mixed berries, a splash of almond milk, cocoa power, or any of your favorite ingredients and create a brand new flavor experience every time you make it.
I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you’ve made it please share it with me by tagging @culinarybutterfly on Pinterest.
