Gut-Friendly Collagen Smoothie Recipe
Tired of drinking the same old green smoothie for breakfast? Switch things up by swapping your morning serving of veggies for something much more exciting. Unlock the health benefits of collagen protein and give your gut some added support with this gluten-free, low-carb smoothie recipe that not only tastes delicious but also provides some serious bang for your buck in terms of nutritional value.
A great option for low-carb dieters, this collagen smoothie recipe works well with just about any meal plan. Instead of using fruits that are higher in carbohydrates, like frozen bananas, mangos or pineapples, this delicious drink relies on mixed berries, which rank low on the glycemic index and are full of antioxidants. This protein smoothie also contains other health-supportive ingredients, such as chia seeds (a good source of quality fats) and cucumber (which helps with hydration).
Most importantly, this recipe includes three ingredients that benefit your gut. First, Bulletproof Unflavored Gut Health Collagen Protein offers both prebiotics and probiotics, along with other components that help protect your gut barrier. Next, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of ginger make for a great addition to this super sippable smoothie. Plus, kefir—a fermented milk drink that’s also available in dairy-free versions—steps up with additional probiotic support.
On top of adding good bacteria to your gut (and a boost of quality fats from Bulletproof Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil), this tangy, tart drinkable yogurt brings another benefit to your smoothie: creaminess for an incredible mouthfeel.
Best of all? The only tool you need to whip up this tasty concoction is a high-speed blender. And, don’t worry about the total time it will take to turn a collection of ingredients into something special. In just a matter of minutes, you will have a gut-friendly collagen protein smoothie that puts other detox drinks to shame.
