- 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
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)
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.
