High-Protein Orange Julius Smoothie
I love this smoothie! I drink it with my breakfast almost every day—or sometimes for a quick lunch. It’s such a great way to make sure I get my collagen in daily. It’s also a great source of protein and healthy carbs!
If it’s your whole meal, use low-fat or full-fat yogurt to get some fats in. Or go with nonfat yogurt if you’ve got another fat source in your meal (like eggs or buttery sweet potatoes).
You can also switch up the fruit additions—this morning I added half a cup of frozen wild raspberries for extra carbs. I also love this little glass blender I found on Amazon, so I don’t have to pull out and wash my big Vitamix every time: https://amzn.to/40M02kw
Ingredients:
1 cup organic orange juice (I like pulp-free)
1 cup yogurt (I use nonfat or low-fat Greek)
1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
4 tablespoons collagen peptides – I use this one
¼ teaspoon real vanilla extract
Small dash of sea salt
Optional: Add-ins like frozen fruit, mango juice, etc.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth, pour into a glass, and enjoy!
