Cherry Collagen Smoothie
Servings: 1
This cherry collagen smoothie is bright, refreshing, and lightly nourishing. Sweet-tart cherries blend with lemon and spinach for a balanced flavor, while beets add natural sweetness and color. Finished with collagen peptides, it’s a smooth, light smoothie that supports protein intake without feeling heavy or overly sweet.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup beets peeled and diced, raw or cooked
- 1 cup spinach fresh
- 1 cup cherries frozen, pitted
- 1 serving collagen peptides
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Place water and beets into blender jar. Blend until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend again until smooth.

Notes
- Beets stain, so make sure you have a cutting board (not wooden) down when cutting them, and don't be alarmed if your hands turn pink.
- You can use pink or yellow beets for this smoothie, just know the color will change to brown if you use yellow beets.
- Frozen cherries give the smoothie a refreshing temp, yet you can use fresh if that's what you have.
- Feel free to use the collagen powder of your choice, and adjust the amount based on which one you choose.
