Summer is the perfect time to indulge in refreshing drinks that are not only delicious but also good for our bodies. In this article, we would like to introduce you to a recipe for a deliciously refreshing coconut and pineapple collagen slush that will not only tantalise your taste buds, but also provide your body with an extra dose of collagen.
Why coconut, pineapple and collagen?
Before you dive into the refreshing recipe, let's look at the unique combination these three ingredients make. The coconut, pineapple and collagen slush is not only delicious — it also puts fruit, coconut and collagen peptides in one glass.
The nutrient power of coconut and pineapple
Coconut and pineapple are the ideal summer superstars: not only are they refreshing, they also supply important nutrients and enzymes that do your body good.
Pineapple: the vitamin C and bromelain booster
Pineapple is rich in vitamin C (an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis) and contains the enzyme bromelain. Bromelain is a group of protein-splitting enzymes that occur naturally in the fruit.
Coconut: electrolytes for hydration
Coconut — as coconut water or coconut milk, for instance — supplies important electrolytes and provides optimal hydration, which matters most on hot summer days.
Collagen: the protein for your summer vitality
The third ingredient, collagen, adds a portion of protein to the drink.
What collagen brings to a summer slush
Collagen is a structural protein of skin, joints and bone. Hair and nails, by contrast, are made of keratin. Combining these ingredients gives you a refreshing slush that also contains hydrolysed collagen peptides.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon collagen powder (e.g. marine collagen)
- Juice of one lime
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, depending on desired sweetness)
- A few ice cubes
Instructions
- Place the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, collagen powder, lime juice and optional honey or agave syrup in a blender.
- Add a few ice cubes to make the slush nice and cool.
- Blend all the ingredients until they have a smooth consistency.
- Pour the slush into glasses and garnish with a slice of pineapple or a slice of lime, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavour!
Why this collagen slush is the ideal summer beauty drink
The coconut, pineapple and collagen slush is far more than a tasty drink; it is an easy way to bring collagen peptides into the warm season.
What the slush does for hot summer days
This drink combines cooling down with targeted nutrition — exactly what your body needs in summer.
Perfect cooling and a holiday feeling
The refreshing tropical flavours of coconut and pineapple put you straight into a holiday mood and give you the cooling you badly need. The slush effect makes it the ideal summer drink for you and your friends.
Collagen in the glass during summer
UV radiation and heat can put your skin under real strain in summer. The collagen powder you add supplies your body with amino acids it uses to build its own collagen. The dermis is the skin layer where that collagen sits.
Quick and versatile for any summer activity
On top of that, this refreshing collagen treat is prepared in no time. It travels easily in an insulated bottle for a refreshing break by the pool or a relaxed picnic in the park — a healthy pleasure that keeps you going.
