Place frozen strawberries in the blender cup, and follow with water, collagen peptides, chia seeds, your chosen sweetener.
Blend for 30-60 seconds or until smooth. And enjoy!
Notes
Ingredient SubstitutionsCollagen 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 VariationsChocolate 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 InfoThis 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.
