Summer Lover

Nothing beats a fresh and fruity smoothie when the sun is at its peak in the middle of July. Or maybe you drink a smoothie for breakfast. Either way, strawberry, watermelon, and collagen smoothie is one you don’t want to miss out on. It only takes four ingredients to make this creative recipe and add collagen to your diet:

• Pure, unsweetened orange juice
• Fresh or frozen strawberries
• Frozen watermelon cubes
• Unflavored collagen powder

 First, cut up a watermelon into cubes and freeze them. You can slice the watermelon in half, and then take one half and turn it face down on the cutting board. Make each slice about one inch thick, then turn the watermelon 90 degrees and make one-inch slices perpendicular to the first slice you made, essentially cutting the melon skin into a cube pattern Then, remove the rind and slice the stick into cubes and pop them into the freezer. It’s best to do this the night before or a few hours before serving to make sure the watermelon is frozen. Once frozen, add one cup of pure orange juice to a blender. Then add one cup of strawberries that are fresh or frozen and one cup of the frozen watermelon cubes. Lastly, add one-quarter of a cup of collagen powder. Blend ingredients until smooth and divide equally between two glasses. This recipe is a perfect way to get your fruits and collagen all in one smoothie.
