Collagen smoothies can be a great way to sneak nutrients in during sports rehab. They’re also a great way to prevent a clumpy mess.
Want the full story on collagen?
A few things I want you to know first:
Make sure your collagen is working for you.
The best way for a collagen supplement to help you build strong joints is to take 15-20g, 30-60 minutes BEFORE your workout or physical therapy. This is CRUCIAL.
Can I mix collagen with coffee?
Personally, I say no. Too much caffeine might inhibit collagen formation, so in my opinion, why risk this combo? If you like this method, try decaf.
Don’t get distracted by the shiny objects!
Read number one again. Now repeat after me: Collagen is NOT a great post-workout protein option. Also, step awayyyy from the gummies. There’s no way there’s 15g in those suckers. They’re fun… but not doing anything for you.
Alrighty, let’s get into some recipes
