Collagen + Sunbutter Paleo Protein Smoothie
Can You Drink Collagen for Breakfast?
Ever wonder what to make for a healthy, satisfying breakfast during the week? Me too! These days I’m on-the-go in the morning and need something quick + healthy to take with me for breakfast. Since I teach fitness classes and train private clients full time, I need to keep my energy levels up, feel healthy and strong and also enjoy what I FUEL my body with (pun intended:). That’s why I make myself a collagen and Sunbutter smoothie in morning! You can use any nut or seed butter you like:)
Primal Kitchen: Worth Every Penny!
I love Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel Drink Mix and have been drinking it for about 2 years now! I used the Chocolate flavor in this recipe 🙂 The Vanilla Coconut Collagen Fuel is also amazing and Keto + Paleo friendly! I would recommend their Avocado Oil, especially for cooking on high heat. Always remember what oils to use when cooking food on high. Avocado oil is great for grilling, pan searing and even baking as it has a mild flavor.

Taking collagen can be very helpful for people who suffer from dry skin, brittle nails or have weak and/or thinning hair. Collagen peptides can also help prevent bone loss, ease joint pain and increase lean muscle mass.
What Collagen Supplements To Use
Use caution when choosing your collagen supplements. Make sure you do your research and purchase from a company that uses quality ingredients. Collagen should come from grass-fed, pasture raised cows, or wild caught fish (they usually take the collagen from the scales). There are also vegan collagen sources that come from plants!
Collagen Peptide Benefits
I have personally been using Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel for about 2 years now and really love the taste and benefits. Also being in the fitness industry, I have to take extra care of my body, especially since I’ve dealt with minor knee injuries in the past. However, since incorporating collagen peptides into my daily routine my joints feel amazing and like I can squat for days! I hope you will try this out and see the benefits for your self as well!
