Instructions:
- Blend Ingredients:
In a high-powered blender, add the frozen berries, banana, collagen powder, chia seeds, almond milk, nut butter, avocado, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. If desired, add a few ice cubes for a chilled, refreshing texture. - Blend Until Smooth:
Blend all ingredients on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the smoothie is creamy and well-combined. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk to reach your preferred consistency. - Serve Immediately:
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy! For an extra touch, you can garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top. - Customize as Desired:
Feel free to switch up the ingredients based on your preference. Add spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost, or swap out the nut butter for coconut oil for a tropical twist.
