Collagen-friendly
Matcha Almond Collagen Smoothie
A soft matcha smoothie with optional collagen and enough almond milk to stay silky.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 tsp matcha powder
- 1 scoop unflavored collagen peptides, optional
Why It Works
- Matcha brings a polished green-tea flavor and a gentle caffeine note.
- Cold almond milk keeps the texture silky and light.
- Optional collagen adds protein, while banana helps the drink taste soft and balanced.
How to prepare
For the collagen-friendly version, start with very cold almond milk and sift the matcha directly over the blender cup. Keep collagen measured separately so it can be pulsed in gently at the end.
How to blend and serve
- Blend almond milk, water and banana until the base looks satin-smooth.
- Add matcha and blend again until there are no green specks.
- Add collagen last, pulse briefly, then pour immediately for the cleanest texture.
Serving size
Makes 1 matcha smoothie, about 12 oz / 350 ml.
Frequency of use
Enjoy 1–3 times weekly, earlier in the day because of caffeine.
Allergy note
Matcha contains caffeine. Collagen is optional and not vegetarian; check supplement suitability.
