This green collagen matcha smoothie is jam packed with nutrients! Collagen is a great source of protein and has a ton of health benefits. The protein may help heal leaky gut, prevent wrinkles, protect joints and much, much more!

The spinach in this green collagen smoothie is a great source of vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese and folate. Folate is a particularly important nutrient for expecting mamas and women planning on getting pregnant in the near future. The vitamin is critical for the development of the neural tube. Additionally, spinach is loaded with phytonutrients and flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory effects.

Matcha powder is chock-full of antioxidants that help protect the liver, promote heart health, and even aid in weight loss. This superfood green smoothie is sure to boost your energy and is a great coffee replacement in the morning.

We’re huge fans of starting your day off with a green smoothie. Making a healthy choice first thing sets you up for more mindful meals later on in the day. Plus, enjoying a breakfast that serves up a healthy balance of protein (collagen), carbs (pineapple, banana), and fat (coconut milk) is a great way to keep yourself satiated and satisfied until lunchtime.

Collagen Supplements

This recipe requires the use of a collagen supplement (Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides) to be added to your collagen matcha smoothie. Collagen powder is convenient, versatile, and often tasteless on its own, making it the most common and easiest way to start introducing collagen into your daily routine. Collagen peptides are hydrolyzed collagen, for better absorption. Besides Vital Proteins, other popular brands are Orgain Collagen Peptides and Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen Protein.

Apart from smoothies, collagen powder can also be mixed into coffee, tea, or even water. Don’t forget to consult your healthcare provider or registered dietitian before starting any supplementation, especially if you have any allergies, food sensitivities, or other health issues.
