Notes
I like to use an unsweetened, coconut milk yogurt for this recipe. If you can have dairy, feel free to use regular yogurt.Adding collagen peptides to the smoothie is optional. It will give it an extra 13+ grams of protein per serving.Add 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to sweeten this up even more and have it as dessert.
