I’ve been getting into the collagen craze lately, and I’m quite happy about it. So much so, that I’ve been enjoying collagen smoothie bowls almost every day. I know what you’re thinking, the term collagen smoothie doesn’t sound the most appealing but trust me, it’s delicious.
I haven’t always been super diligent about supplements but collagen is one I can get on board with. So, if you’ve heard of collagen but aren’t super familiar about what it does, let me give you a brief intro. Collagen is great for your skin, hair, nails, joints and it helps promote a healthy immune system.
I’ve been using the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides which I’ve been loving thus far, especially because it’s tasteless (full disclosure: I hate protein shakes because I can’t stand the taste of protein).
I’m also quite thrilled that Vital Proteins offers products in various flavours. For instance, I tried the Collagen Beauty Water that I’m really excited about because of all of the flavours offered. There’s Lavender Lemon, Vanilla & Coconut Water and even a Melon Mint flavour. I’m always trying to up my water intake, so anything that can make it taste better is always welcome.
Check out my recipe below for my go-to collagen smoothie bowl and some more of my favourite recipes here.
INGREDIENTS:
1 serving Vital Proteins
1 cup almond milk
2 tbs almond butter
1 cup of frozen berries
1 tbs honey
1 cup greek yogourt
1 banana, chia, pumpkin & hemp seeds, almonds, frozen berries (for garnish)
METHOD:
Combine all ingredients (except for garnishes) into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour your smoothie into a bowl and add the garnishes. Enjoy!

I’m still getting used to thit idea of ingesting collagen. I always think of it as being injected into your skin. But I’d much rather drink it! I see that it also promotes joint health. Thanks for introducing me to Vital Proteins!
You’re welcome, I love it and am definitely going to continue using it all year long!
I’ve just started using collagen and I’ve been putting it into my smoothies too. I has so many benefits that I figure why not try it!
Oh, I’m so glad you do that too! It does, I am obsessed 🙂
I never thought about putting collagen in a smoothie before!
It really is the best, you can’t even taste it!
I had no idea! What a great suggestion; thanks!
It’s SO good and you’re welcome! 🙂
That looks delicious! It’s about the 5th time this week I’ve read about collagen in food and until this week I had never heard about it being consumed like that. I will definitely be giving it a try. – Stephanie | http://www.theborrowedbabes.com
