Juicy Watermelon Smoothie
Servings: 1
This watermelon smoothie starts light and sweet, while frozen cherries and strawberries add body and lime keeps it bright. Chia seeds and collagen bring it to 25 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber.
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon chopped
- ½ cup cherries frozen
- ¼ cup strawberries frozen
- ½ lime peeled
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 serving collagen peptides
Instructions
- Place the watermelon, cherries, strawberries, lime and chia seeds in a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the collagen and blend on low just to combine. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Prep Tip: Use seedless watermelon if you don't have time to pick out the seeds.
- Vegan Swap: Swap the collagen for a serving of homemade protein powder.
- Lower Sugar: Swap the cherries for blueberries or raspberries, or try other low sugar fruits.
- Storing: Best fresh. The chia seeds thicken it as it sits, so if you store it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, shake well and add a splash of liquid before drinking.
