This is the one smoothie here built for joints as much as muscle: a scoop of collagen peptides alongside the usual protein powder, with spinach and lemon to keep it fresh.

Unflavored collagen dissolves completely and will not change the taste, so it is an easy add to any smoothie once you have a bag of it.

method

Pour the almond milk into the blender, add the spinach, collagen, protein powder and lemon juice.
Add the ice. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust: a few more ice cubes for thicker, a splash more liquid for thinner. Drink cold.

chef's tips

Unflavored collagen peptides dissolve completely and won't change the taste.
Use a protein powder with no added sugar. It is the difference between a few grams of carbs per scoop and a lot more.
