This creamy, chocolate-y smoothie is absolutely packed with 50 grams protein to make you feel satisfied and energized all morning long.
Earlier this week, I shared my Vanilla Coconut Latte Smoothie recipe for Intermittent Fasting. Today, I’m sharing my Chocolate Collagen Peanut Butter Smoothie recipe that you can break your Intermittent Fast with!
In my last blog post, we discussed the key components needed in a smoothie when breaking your fast ~ protein, fat and fiber.
Today, we’re adding in an additional smoothie ingredient ~ collagen.
Recipe Highlights
- High protein: 50 grams per serving!
- High fiber: 6 grams per smoothie.
- Cream and delicious: Peanut butter and chocolate goodness.
Collagen is not a complete protein source, however it does have some pretty amazing health benefits that can boost the quality of your break-fast smoothie.
Other than helping to form new connective tissues in your body (such as your skin, bones and nails), collagen has also been found to significantly boost the satiety of your meal and help prevent snacking later in the day.(1)
This perk makes collagen a great addition to your smoothie if you find that you get hungry with Intermittent Fasting or you often crave sugar
