What does this green collagen smoothie taste like?
This smoothie is naturally sweet from the two bananas and apple, with a bright citrus lift from the lime. The spinach adds colour and nutrients without affecting the flavour. The collagen peptides blend in seamlessly — you won't notice them in the taste or texture.
Is this collagen smoothie dairy-free?
Yes. This recipe uses water as the liquid base, so it's naturally dairy-free with no milk, yoghurt, or cream. It's also suitable for anyone who prefers a lighter, fruit-forward smoothie.
This bright, naturally sweet green smoothie is one of the easiest ways to pack fruit and vegetables into your morning. With two bananas, a whole apple, a cup of spinach, and a squeeze of lime, you get roughly 3.5 serves of fruit and vegetables in a single glass — all blended together in under five minutes. The texture is thick, smooth, and creamy thanks to the banana, while the lime keeps it fresh and balanced. A single sachet (10 g) of COLLIAGE Collagen Peptides mixes right in — it's unflavoured, so it won't change the taste. Think of it as a simple protein addition to an already fruit-packed smoothie. No fuss, no dairy, and nothing to cook.

FAQs
Can you taste collagen peptides in this green smoothie?
No. COLLIAGE Collagen Peptides are unflavoured. The dominant flavours in this smoothie are banana and lime. You won't notice any difference in taste or texture from the collagen.
How much collagen should I add to this smoothie?
This recipe uses one sachet (10 g) of COLLIAGE Collagen Peptides, which is a single standard serve. If you prefer, you can adjust based on your personal routine. Always check the serving suggestion on the product label.
Does blending damage the collagen peptides?
No. Collagen peptides are hydrolysed, meaning they're already broken into small molecules. Standard blending temperatures and speeds do not affect them.
Can I swap spinach for kale?
Yes, but the taste and texture will change. Kale has a stronger, more bitter flavour and tougher leaves. If using kale, remove the thick stems, use baby kale if available, and blend for longer. You may want to add extra banana or a small drizzle of honey to balance the taste.
What type of apple works best in this smoothie?
Any apple variety works. Sweeter varieties like Fuji or Gala will result in a sweeter smoothie. Green apples (Granny Smith) will add a sharper, more tart flavour that pairs nicely with the lime.
