Hello there!!!
It’s smoothie time! Summer is officially here and an ice cold piña colada has been on my mind! Unfortunately (but fortunately) I am pregnant and can’t have alcohol at the moment. I’m satisfying this craving with a high protein Piña Colada Smoothie!
In this recipe, rather than using my regular protein protein powder which can change the taste of the smoothie, I use collagen peptides. My favorite brand is Vital Proteins (click me!) which uses high quality grass-fed beef collagen protein.
This smoothie is great as a treat for anyone including kids or as a post-workout snack!
