What Kind of Collagen Powder Should I Use?

Any unflavored or chocolate-flavored collagen powder will work well in this smoothie. Look for a high-quality hydrolyzed collagen (also known as collagen peptides), which dissolves easily in liquids and is more readily absorbed by the body. Marine collagen is a great choice if you’re pescatarian, while bovine collagen is a solid all-around pick for most people.

How To Make the Healthy Chocolate Collagen Smoothie

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Peel and slice the banana. Measure out your cocoa powder, collagen powder, and nut butter.

Step 2: Add to Blender

In a high-speed blender, combine the banana, cocoa powder, collagen, nut butter, almond milk, and ice. Add optional ingredients if using.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If it’s too thick, add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

Taste the smoothie and adjust flavors as needed—add more cocoa for richness or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer more sweetness.

Step 5: Serve

Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately. Enjoy with a straw or spoon!
