This Healthy Chocolate Collagen Shake Will Replace Your Nightly Dessert

As a devout chocolate lover with a major sweet tooth, I find it difficult to create a healthy dessert that actually delivers the same rich flavor as my favorite treats. Plus, I'd rather indulge in something a little less healthy than keep snacking on options that may be more nutritious but don't truly satisfy. Balance is everything, right? 

So, why not create said frosty for a healthy dessert alternative? I snagged the below recipe from mbg's assistant beauty editor Hannah Frye (she once worked in a smoothie shop, so I trust whatever concoction she cobbles together is absolutely great), and, no lie, it tastes just like a peanut butter cup. Plus, with collagen's ability to support skin elasticity and hydration levels and promote youthful texture1, it delivers beauty benefits, too.* File this under desserts that satisfy your post-dinner cravings and enhance your health.

Oftentimes, healthy dessert alternatives just don't deliver on flavor. Not this recipe: Thanks to mbg's decadent collagen powder, you'll have a sweet treat that's good for you, too.
