Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 scoop collagen powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of frozen strawberries, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 scoop of collagen powder, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- In a blender, add the frozen strawberries. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, ensure that your banana is ripe, as it will add natural sweetness.
- Next, peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. Add the banana pieces to the blender with the strawberries.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. You can adjust the amount of almond milk based on your desired smoothie thickness; less milk will yield a thicker consistency.
- Add 1 scoop of collagen powder to the blender. This ingredient is optional but is great for adding protein and promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails.
- Finally, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. These seeds are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a nutritious addition to your smoothie.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender's power.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If it’s too thick for your liking, add a little more almond milk and blend again until you achieve your desired texture.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. If desired, you can garnish with a few whole strawberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top for an appealing presentation.
- Enjoy your Strawberry Cloud Collagen Smoothie immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: For the sweetest flavor, opt for ripe bananas. Their natural sugars will enhance the overall taste of your smoothie.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk; for a thinner texture, simply add more until you reach your desired consistency.
- Experiment with Collagen: While collagen powder is optional, consider trying different types (marine, bovine, or plant-based) to see which one works best for you.
- Add Extra Nutrients: Feel free to boost your smoothie with additional superfoods like spinach, kale, or protein powder for an extra health kick.
- Garnish for Presentation: A few whole strawberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top can elevate the visual appeal of your smoothie, making it Instagram-worthy!
- Blend Thoroughly: Ensure that you blend long enough (30-60 seconds) to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If you notice any chunks, blend a bit longer.
- Serve Fresh: For the best flavor and texture, enjoy your smoothie immediately after blending. It’s a perfect on-the-go breakfast or snack!
