Green Smoothie with Tropical Fruit

Leave a comment

I love a quick green smoothie meal! But if you want this as a snack, you can easily omit the collagen and —most or all of—the nuts and seeds!

This is a favorite combo in our house.

Serves 2:

  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 banana
  • 3 large handfuls of greens
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Small pinch of sea salt
  • 1 1/2 TB hemp seeds
  • 1 1/2 TB flax seeds
  • 4 scoops collagen peptides
  • 3 rounded cups frozen tropical fruit

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high until well combined. You may have to add more water, depending on your blender.

Enjoy!

I love a smoothie for breakfast. It is such an easy and delicious way to start the day with nutrient dense ingredients. In order for a smoothie to be filling enough for a meal, it must include fat and protein. Below is my go-to formula for a smoothie meal!

Serves 2:

2 cups of water

1-2 whole serving fruits (banana, apple, nectarine, peach…)

(optional, but recommended) 1-3 handfuls of leafy greens

a pinch of sea salt

juice of 1/2 a lemon or lime

1 1/2 cup of frozen fruit

4 scoops of collagen peptides

3-4 TB nuts or seeds (chia, flax, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds…) or 1 avocado

    Green Smoothie with Pineapple or Mango

    Leave a comment

    This is my favorite green smoothie recipe. This is an awesome breakfast on the go. For a lighter smoothie, you can omit the nuts, seeds and collagen peptides. I have improved on the original recipe by adding lemon.

    For a green smoothie (or juice) novice, I would recommend staring with 1 handful of greens and 1 1/2 cup of pineapple or mango. If you are a green smoothie aficionado, use 3 handfuls of greens and 3/4 cup of pineapple or mango. Either way, you are sure to get a nice servings of greens.

    Makes 2 meals or 4 snacks:

    • 2 cups water
    • 1/4 cup coconut water or water
    • 1 apple
    • 3/4 cup- 1 1/2 cups, if you want this smoothie sweeter) frozen mango or pineapple
    • 1-3 handfuls of leafy greens (I like to mix up my greens: spinach, kale, arugula, lettuce, spring greens)
    • 2 scoops of collagen peptides
    • 2 TB pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds or almonds (can use nut or seed butter instead of nuts and seeds)
    • 2 TB flax, sesame or hemp seeds (can use nut or seed butter instead of nuts and seeds)
    • pinch of sea salt
    • juice of half a lemon
    1. Combine ingredients as listed in your Vitamix (or another high power blender of your choice).
    2. Blend on high for a minute or until well combined.
    3. Pour into glasses and enjoy!

    *please use organic ingredients, if possible.

    To make this recipe vegan, use 2 TB of pea protein or hemp protein instead of collagen peptides.
