Cherry Vanilla Collagen Smoothie Recipe
By Ethan Boldt
August 10, 2023
Want to start your day off deliciously and with a major boost of collagen? Look no further than this filling and delicious Cherry Vanilla Collagen Smoothie that’s made with our very own Multi Collagen Protein Vanilla powder, frozen cherries, coconut milk and Medjool dates.
With this fibrous, high-protein smoothie, you’re consuming health-minded ingredients packed with antioxidants and micronutrients. Try it for breakfast or after a workout to replenish your protein levels. It’s not only filling, but will satisfy your sweet tooth, too.
This healthy collagen smoothie contains nutrient-filled, antioxidant-rich ingredients that will keep you satisfied, while fitting into your healthy diet perfectly. Here’s a look at the top ingredients:
Collagen Protein Powder: The powerhouse ingredient in this sweet smoothie is our Multi Collagen Protein Vanilla. It features a creamy vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with cherries. Plus, it contains 10 types of collagen protein that help to support a healthy gut, skin, hair, nails and joints.
Coconut milk: Coconut “milk” is the liquid that’s naturally found inside mature coconuts. It contains beneficial fats, like lauric acid, that are used by the body for energy. It’s also filled with micronutrients like manganese, magnesium and iron. We recommend you go with "light" or reduced fat coconut milk to decrease the number of calories.
Cherries: Cherries are rich in antioxidants, and they’ve been shown to possess anti-inflammatory activity. They are perfectly sweet, but lower in calories, so they’re a useful and delicious ingredient in any collagen smoothie.
Medjool dates: Medjool dates are considered one of the healthiest natural sweeteners. They are excellent sugar substitutes and they feature fiber, vitamins and minerals to boot.
Any smoothie worth its weight needs to have adequate protein. This perfectly sized cherry smoothie with 368 calories includes 13 grams of protein, mostly from the benefit-rich collagen powder. It also includes 19 grams of performance fats, so it represents a great way to begin your day or have as a pre-workout drink.
This cherry vanilla smoothie also contains 101 milligrams of vitamin C, 90 of which come from the Multi Collagen Protein — this provides 115 percent of your Daily Value (DV*). It's also high in two minerals: copper (42 percent DV*) and manganese (47 percent DV*).
*Percentages are based on a diet of 2000 calories a day.
This is as simple as it gets. Place all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and purée until smooth.
Add more coconut milk or water to blend as necessary.
Also, try our collagen-based chia seed smoothie bowl for a nice switch-up.
