Good Gut Collagen Smoothie!
Starting my day with 30g+ of protein is non-negotiable — but I’ll be the first to admit, it’s not always easy. That’s where protein powder becomes a total game-changer. It’s a staple in my routine, especially for those mornings when a large or heavy breakfast just isn’t appealing.
Smoothies are my go-to solution: quick, nourishing, and endlessly adaptable. They’re the perfect vehicle for packing in nutrients without much effort. Here are my top tips for creating a healthy smoothie that keeps blood sugar levels in check along with keeping you satiated.
Stick to one serving of fruit – Think one whole piece or about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of berries.
Prioritise protein – Aim for 30g.
Don’t skip the healthy fats – Add a spoonful of nut butter, some chia or flaxseeds, or even avocado.
Add bonus nutrients – Toss in leafy greens, herbs, or even a handful of cooked and frozen zucchini or cauliflower.
Skip the icy drinks – Cold smoothies might feel refreshing, but cold drinks can slow down digestion by reducing gastric secretions and gut motility. Opt for room-temperature for better gut support.
