Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Non-dairy milk (almond or coconut are my favorite) Read labels if using store-bought milk. Use nut-free milk if you suspect a sensitivity to nuts.
  • 1 cup blueberries Fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 banana Fresh or frozen (replace with other fruit if you don't digest banana well)
  • 2-3 small-medium kale leaves washed and torn into large pieces
  • 2 scoops grass-fed collagen protein Can also replace with organic hemp or pea protein

Optional:

  • 1 TBL chia seeds Can replace with hemp or flax seeds
  • 1 peeled carrot Cut into large chunks
  • Other berries or fruit Fresh or Frozen

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients, except collagen powder to the blender
  • Blend on high until smooth
  • Turn off blender and add collagen powder
  • Blend on low until the collagen is mixed in well
  • Pour and enjoy immediately or save for an easy snack (best if consumed on the same day)

Notes

You can substitute a variety of other fruits or add in 1-2 tablespoons nut butter,  a scoop of protein powder, 1-2 teaspoons of raw cacao p0wder, or other superfoods to make this smoothie fit your personal taste and health needs.
If you want your smoothie sweeter, increase to a whole banana.
If you want it thinner, add more almond milk or water.
A high-speed blender will work best to make this recipe smooth.
