Hello Summer! (Well, Almost…)
After what felt like a never-ending winter, summer is FINALLY right around the corner. We don’t know about you but as the weather gets warmer, we’re ready to say goodbye to our oversized sweaters and trade in the sweets for lighter, healthier options. Easy, delicious smoothies are a customer-favorite, hassle-free way to incorporate Shore Magic collagen powder into any diet. A smoothie already packed with protein, vitamins and antioxidants becomes even healthier with the addition of one serving (2 tbsp) of Shore Magic collagen. Our collagen can smooth pesky cellulite, improve the health and appearance of your skin and hair, and aid in appetite control. Talk about a win-win-win! Here are a few of our favorite smoothie recipes for all your warm-weather needs. Enjoy! Strawberry Pomegranate Green Smoothie Ingredients (pink layer): 1 frozen banana 1 cup frozen strawberries (or fresh!) 1/2 cup coconut water (or non-dairy milk) Blend until smooth and pour into a glass. Ingredients (green layer): 1 cup fresh spinach ½ frozen banana ¼ cup pomegranate seeds ¼ cup coconut water (or non-dairy milk) 2 tbsp Shore Magic collagen powder Blend until smooth and pour on top of the pink layer. Top with pomegranate seeds. Berry Kiwi Smoothie Ingredients: 8 fresh or frozen strawberries 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 1 kiwi fruit, peeled and cut into chunks 5 tbsp plain yogurt 1-2 tbsp honey, to taste 1 tsp flax seed (optional) ½ cup crushed or cubed ice 2 tbsp Shore Magic collagen powder Add ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth. If you’re using frozen berries or if the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little liquid at a time (such as water, almond milk, orange juice) until it is at the desired consistency. Protein Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie Ingredients: 1 large banana (sliced, frozen) 3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened) ¾ cup Greek yogurt (flavored or unflavored) ¾ cup skim milk (or any non-dairy milk) 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup 1 tbsp peanut butter 2 tbsp Shore Magic collagen powder Blend together the banana, cocoa powder, yogurt and milk.
