Why your body wants a power smoothie right now
In a world that keeps speeding up, looking after your body — and giving it what it actually needs — matters more than ever. Green smoothies are an easy way to do that: they taste good, and they pack a lot of vegetables and fruit into one glass.
The green smoothie as a nutrient engine
What goes into a green smoothie
Green smoothies deliver concentrated vitamins and minerals. Vegetables and fruit add fibre too.
Introducing the Green Collagen Power Smoothie
Greens meet collagen
This nutrient-dense smoothie is packed with active ingredients and takes almost no effort to make. Combining leafy greens with collagen gives you a drink that supplies nutrients and carbohydrates and adds collagen peptides as a protein source. Here are the ingredients and the simple steps to make it at home.
The ingredients
This Green Collagen Power Smoothie mixes leafy greens, fruit, cucumber, coconut water, avocado and collagen powder. Every ingredient brings something different to the glass.
What you need
1 · Base and antioxidants
A handful of spinach or kale
Leafy greens are rich in vitamins (A, K, folate), minerals and essential antioxidants.
Half a green apple, peeled and cored
Green apples are a good source of vitamin C and fibre. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones and cartilage.
The juice of half a lemon
Lemon juice is a concentrated source of vitamin C and fruit acids, and it gives the smoothie its fresh, tart edge.
2 · Beauty and structure — collagen and fats
2 teaspoons of collagen powder
Collagen is the main structural protein in your skin and central to its elasticity and firmness. Collagen powder supplies collagen peptides, and with them the amino acids the body uses to build its own collagen. We suggest our Marine Collagen Powder.
Half an avocado
Avocado makes the smoothie creamy and adds fat (omega-9).
3 · Hydration and minerals
Half a cucumber, peeled and chopped
Cucumber is mostly water and keeps the smoothie fresh and light.
1 cup of coconut water
Coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes and hydrating minerals, supplying fluid and quick energy.
How to make it
Making this smoothie could not be simpler:
Put everything in a blender
Start with the liquids — it makes blending easier.
Blend thoroughly
Blend until the texture is completely smooth and creamy, with no leafy fibres left.
Chill and enjoy
Add ice if you want it colder.
