Cold Brew Ice Cubes Are Perfect For This Mocha Collagen Smoothie

It's important to make sure you're fueling your body well in the morning, but that doesn't mean it has to take half an hour. This recipe is just as nutritious as it is easy to make. It combines collagen, antioxidants, healthy fats, and plant-based protein—all with a jolt of caffeine to perk up your early morning.

This recipe is a personal favorite of mine; I used to whip it up all the time when I worked at a smoothie bar in college. Cold brew ice cubes do sound a little involved, but trust me, it's easier than it seems.

As far as eating for your hormones, building well-balanced meals is key. This smoothie has it all: coconut oil for healthy fats, almond butter for natural plant protein, banana for fiber and phytonutrient antioxidants3, cold brew for energy, and collagen to support a healthy gut and glowing skin.* 

If you're a fan of the two-in-one concept, this smoothie recipe is for you! You'll get your daily dose of collagen to support your skin and gut health in a tasty and balanced manner, but beyond that, this smoothie will take care of your caffeine desires along with providing healthy fats, natural protein, and antioxidants.* Don't fret if you're not a smoothie person; collagen can easily be added to a matcha latte or shaken espresso as well.
