Summer Strawberry Collagen Smoothie
I love summer, long days, warmth and somehow a sense of well being and happiness the season brings.
One of my favourite foods and one that goes hand in hand with summer has to be strawberries. I identify strawberries with the beginning of warmer sunny days and just the smell and taste of a decent ripe strawberry can whisk me back in time with childhood memories of having strawberries for tea as that special treat on Sundays.
Nowadays, I have a small planter in my garden and do my best to grow my own. Although, when it comes to gardening I confess I am not the best green fingered person around, but now and again I produce a small crop of rich red strawberries and as long as I beat the Pukekos and blackbirds to them I have enough for a smoothie. That said, I don't have enough for the many smoothies I enjoy throughout the season, so like most people its a trip to the grocery store to get a decent punnet.
A smoothie is an easy way to take and ensure you get your daily dose of Simply Collagen. Just sprinkle in a teaspoon into the mix and enjoy it in a refreshing cool smoothie. This particular recipe uses a banana and raspberries which gives it a richer flavour. I like to keep it simple, so throw everything into the blender mix and serve.
GIve it a go and do let me know if you have any other favourite smoothie recipes you think others would enjoy. We are always up for trying something new and would love to share the recipes with others.

Yes, you can use it in recipes that call for collagen peptides, Simply Collagen is Hydrolysed Collagen which is the same thing a collagen peptides. The terms collagen peptides and hydrolyzed collagen are synonymous and used interchangeably for the same product. :)
I use this collagen and am very happy with it. I have just ordered some more. Can it be used in recipes that call for collagen peptides? What are peptides? If yes, do I use the same quantity the recipe asks for? Many thanks
