A chocolate collagen shake recipe offers a healthy dessert alternative that aims to satisfy a sweet tooth without added sugar. The recipe uses a collagen powder that contains organic cocoa and organic monk fruit extract. According to the source, one reviewer said the powder helped replace chocolate cravings and that when blended it tastes “just like a Wendy’s frosty.”
The shake was created by a former beauty editor who worked in a smoothie shop. The recipe is described as tasting like a peanut butter cup. The ingredients include one frozen banana, one scoop of chocolate collagen powder, one date, two tablespoons of nut butter, a dash of cinnamon, and one and a half cups of almond milk or milk of choice. The method is to place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
The collagen in the shake is said to support skin elasticity, hydration levels, and promote youthful texture. The nutritional information for the recipe is 494 calories, 26 grams of protein, 55 grams of carbohydrates, and 21 grams of fat. The source notes that these values are estimates and may vary.
