Banana Collagen Shake
This easy-to-make banana collagen shake takes just five minutes to make and calls for just 3 simple ingredients! Packed full of healthy goodness and natural sweetness, this healthy smoothie is perfect for any time of the day, and is a quick and easy way to add a little extra goodness to your diet!
Ingredients
- 2-3 ripe bananas you can also use frozen bananas for this recipe if you are looking for a thicker texture.
- whole milk to thin I like to use whole milk, but you can also use 1%, 2%, skim milk, oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk, or any kind of milk you like.
- 1 scoop OR 1 serving of collagen powder. My favorite one to use is Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder. But you can use your favorite brand of collagen!
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high-powered blender. And blend on low speed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you are having trouble blending your shake, try adding a little more milk.
- Pour into a tall glass(I like to serve mine in mason jars!) and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Personally, I wouldn't recommend storing this banana shake as it will start to separate quite quickly. It is best made and drank immediately!
I prefer my shakes to have a slightly thinner texture, but if you want yours to be thicker, or you added too much milk to your shake. You can add a few ice cubes to the blender to help thicken it up!
