Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
Collagen peptides: well, this wouldn't be a collagen smoothie without the collagen powder, so there really is't a sub for that. While I opt for marine collagen peptides, bovine collagen protein will work just the same.
Strawberries: Other berries or cherries would be great in this easy smoothie recipe.
Chia Seeds: Flax seed, hemp seeds, or seed butters can be substituted for chia seeds without sacrificing the superfood nutrition boost.
Sweetener: Maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, and coconut sugar are great sweetener choices, or opt for a calorie-free sweetener like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit.
Recipe Variations
Chocolate Collagen Smoothie: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a rich, chocolatey twist.
Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie: Swap half the strawberries for fresh or frozen watermelon for a burst of summer flavor.
Green Collagen Smoothie: Add a handful of leafy greens or a scoop of green powder for an extra nutrient boost.
Storage Info
This strawberry collagen smoothie is best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored up to 24 hours in an airtight container in the fridge. I love these insulated tumblers for storing smoothies in the refrigerator or taking them on the go.
