    Why you'll love this collagen smoothie

    • It's a quick and easy recipe.
    • You only need 5 simple ingredients.
    • You'll appreciate its creamy texture.
    • Dark chocolate flavors are deliciously infused with pineapple chunks and lemony undertones.
    • There is no added sugar, only natural sweetness.
    • And it's a healthy way to start your day.

    Ingredients & notes

    Fresh chopped pineapple, half of a lemon, almond milk, cacao powder and collagen powder displayed on a table.

    PINEAPPLE: I prefer fresh pineapple chunks, but frozen fruit works just as well.

    LEMON: It adds a lovely lemony undertone and extra flavor.

    ALMOND MILK: Use unsweetened almond milk. Oat milk and cashew milk are great alternative options, or use a milk of your choice.

    CACAO POWDER: You can also use unsweetened cocoa powder to get that dark chocolate flavor.

    COLLAGEN POWDER: I use unflavored collagen peptides from either Vital Proteins or grass-fed collagen peptides from Garden of Life to add protein and creaminess.

    Note: pineapple is a delicious fruit and a great addition to dark chocolate flavors. The colder the drink, the more it becomes a fruity smoothie as the sweet and acidic pineapple notes are intensified.

    How to make this delicious smoothie

    Tips

    • Don't serve over ice cubes, as it thins out the smoothie's consistency.
    • For a colder experience on warmer days, use either frozen pineapple chunks or allow the drink to cool first in the fridge.
    • Pineapple wedges as a garnish and a sprinkle of extra cacao powder are my favorite toppings.

    Storage

    Either enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    When best to enjoy this drink

    • It's one of those creamy smoothies you'll enjoy best as a healthy breakfast.
    • But it's also a delicious way to add grams of protein to your diet next time you need a boost of energy.
    • Or quickly make this chocolate pineapple smoothie anytime you need a pick-me-up snack.
