Strawberry Basil Collagen Smoothie
A grown-up strawberry basil smoothie with collagen peptides stirred in for a protein boost that doesn't interfere with the herbal note.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 scoop unflavored collagen peptides
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 3/4 cup milk of your choice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- 1
Whisk the collagen peptides into the milk until dissolved, then pour into the blender with the basil leaves, strawberries, and honey. Blend on high until smooth, with the basil fully broken down and just a faint green fleck of color throughout.

Unlike our cherry collagen smoothie, which keeps things simple and vanilla-forward, this version adds fresh basil for an unexpected, slightly peppery contrast to the sweet strawberries. The collagen still does its usual job of dissolving completely and adding protein without changing the smoothie's flavor or texture.

Bruise the basil leaves gently between your fingers before adding them to release more of their oils, and use the freshest basil you can find, since dried basil won't blend the same way.
