You may have seen the post on my Instagram feed featuring a dessert-like shake I drink as my post-workout treat. I wanted to share it on here with all of the products featured, including my Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides powder. One scoop of this unflavored powder can reap many, many benefits for hair, skin, nails, athletic performance** bone & joint health**, among many others. I’ve used it in my morning coffee or chai as well! For now, I’m sharing my go-to protein smoothie below until I come up with a few other tasty recipes in the kitchen.

You’ll need:

• Chocolate protein powder: I use a plant-based protein powder but whey is completely fine too!
• Peanut Butter: I prefer Skippy Naturals just for taste. I used to use organic PB but I’ve had a sensitivity to a lot of nuts after having my daughter…no idea why, but our bodies are crazy like that.
• Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides: Comes with the scoop—these are unflavored, so they will not impact the taste of your drink whatsoever.
• One Banana: To make your smoothie colder, use a frozen banana!
• Unsweetened unflavored coconut milk (or milk of choice)— I prefer coconut milk to cut back on my dairy intake and it makes the smoothie feel lighter.

Directions:

1. Place one scoop of chocolate protein powder, one tablespoon of peanut butter, one scoop of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, and one banana in the blender. Add your milk (use as much or as little as you like depending on your desired thickness).
2. Blend well & enjoy immediately!

Hope y’all enjoy this recipe! I’ll be back with more.
