Collagen: the Anti-Aging Powder

Smoothies are a tasty vehicle for anti-aging and skin-clearing ingredients. They are nourishing and delicious and are a time-saving way to get your daily dose of vitamins. I always add vitamin-packed sources of produce and powders, including collagen powder, to my morning smoothie.

What is Collagen Powder?

Collagen is an essential component of skin, bones, muscles, and tendons. It is essentially the glue that holds your body together. Collagen powder is the hydrolyzed form of animal collagen. Animal collagen is most commonly derived from bovine or marine animals.

Collagen powder can be easily added to any smoothie, as it dissolves in liquid and is virtually tasteless. It's an effortless way to get youthful, glowing skin, strong nails, healthy hair, and well-supported joints.

The Benefits of Collagen Powder

As you age, your body produces less collagen. This loss of collagen leads to less supple skin, brittle nails and hair, and joint weakness. Collagen powder can improve elasticity and increase the collagen content in your skin. This improvement can reduce signs of aging and replenish the loss of collagen humans experience.

After taking collagen powder in this Piña Colada Collagen Smoothie, I saw an improvement in my own skin and continue to add a scoop to my smoothies. My skin feels more supple and my hair and nails are strong thanks to this vitamin-packed, collagen-rich smoothie.

Instructions to Make Piña Colada Collagen Smoothie

• Make the Coconut Garnish - First, make the garnish for the rims of the glasses using shredded coconut. Secondly, add 2 tablespoons of the shredded coconut to the blender and blend until the shreds become fine flecks of coconut. Once the coconut is blended, remove the coconut from the blender and place the flakes on a plate for later. It's okay if some of the coconut shreds stay in the blender. The garnish is optional and adds a fun tropical flair to your smoothie!
• Blend the Smoothie Ingredients - Add pineapple, banana, remaining quarter cup of shredded coconut, collagen powder, oat milk, coconut milk, ice, and agave sweetener to the blender. Once the ingredients are in the blender, blend on the high setting until smooth and creamy.
• Coat the Glasses with Coconut - Using a juicy pineapple wedge, rub the rim of the glasses. To coat the glass rims with coconut, turn the glasses over onto the plate of coconut flakes. After that, turn the glasses in a circular motion on the plate until the rims are evenly coated with coconut.
• Pour and Garnish - Lastly, pour the smoothie in both glasses, garnish with a pineapple wedge, and enjoy your refreshing smoothie!

If you enjoy greens in your smoothie, add a handful of spinach or baby kale for an additional serving of vegetables.
