Notes
This smoothie hits all those sweet taste buds without adding any sugar into the mix. Be sure to look at your ingredients and make sure none of them have added sugar.
*If you are doing our 21 day detox, omit the Whey Isolate protein and only do the Collagen Protein or opt for a Vegan powder. We have links to our favorite proteins here.
The Collagen protein will not affect your body like regular dairy does, since its not make from the milk or meat of the cow. But, we recommend it is from organic grass fed cows, you can also opt for marine collagen.
