Shake up your breakfast, with this coffee and banana collagen smoothie. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, which acts as a structural support for many parts of the body – including skin, bones, ligaments and tendons. The word ‘collagen’ is derived from the greek word ‘kolla’, meaning glue – as it literally holds the body together. Unfortunately, production gradually declines as we get older, which explains why our skin looses that youthful elasticity (sob!) and our joints and bones can suffer. Lucky for us, collagen supplementation can help provide the body with the building blocks for better health and wellness. We love Planet Paleo’s products, which are made from highest quality ingredients, including grass-fed bovine collagen, and are made to practitioner standards with significant quantities of nutrients. This is one great way to use their keto coffee collagen to make a delicious creamy smoothie. We hope you enjoy!
