A creamy strawberry banana smoothie made with Greek yogurt, almond milk and a 10 g scoop of unflavored collagen peptides, with a collagen coffee version and what the research on oral collagen and skin actually found.

Ingredients

  • 1 cupfrozen strawberries, unsweetened, about 150 g
  • 1/2 mediumbanana, about 59 g, ripe
  • 1/2 cupplain greek yogurt, nonfat
  • 3/4 cupunsweetened almond milk, any milk works
  • 10 gbovine collagen peptides, unflavored; about 1 scoop, check your label

Instructions

  1. Liquid and collagen first. Pour the almond milk into the blender jar and add the collagen peptides. Starting with the liquid lets the powder dissolve instead of caking on the blades.

  3. Blend and serve. Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on high for 40 to 60 seconds, until no flecks of fruit remain. If the blades stall, add a splash of almond milk. Pour into a tall glass and drink right away, while it is cold and thick.

Notes

  • Use ripe banana for sweetness. If you want it thinner, add almond milk a tablespoon at a time.
  • Collagen peptides come in scoops of different sizes. The numbers here use 10 g, so weigh your scoop if you want to match them.
  • Unflavored peptides vanish into a cold or hot drink. Flavored powders change the taste and the numbers, so read the label.
