I love this healthy pumpkin pie smoothie for a quick breakfast, snack or dessert. It takes just a few minutes to make and I love adding collagen as my secret ingredient.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
This is my personal favorite version of a pumpkin pie smoothie. You could even call it a pumpkin pie cheesecake smoothie since it has cream cheese in this recipe.
I have a really difficult time enjoying a full breakfast meal so, I generally choose to have this smoothie for breakfast. It is filled with healthy ingredients and adding collagen gives me even more added health benefits.
Health Benefits of Pumpkin
Pumpkin packs several health benefits. It is high in fiber, an excellent source of vitamin A & C, and antioxidant rich. Pumpkin is a nutritious food that is good for your heart and your eyes.
Collagen in Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
I try my best to stick to a very healthy diet. Smoothies are a great way to sneak in some added health benefits of certain supplements.
Collagen is one of those healthy supplements that I add into one of my drinks on a daily basis. If I don’t add it to my coffee then I most generally add it to a smoothie.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is protein in your body. It’s one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. I like to think of collagen as the “glue” that holds everything together.
There are four main types of collagen and they do various roles within the body. As we age, the body produces less collagen. One of the most visible signs is the skin. The skin becomes less firm.
I have been using Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides for several months. I have noticed a difference in how quickly my hairs grow as well as my nails. My skin has also seen a difference.
So, now you can see why I am sure to add Vital Protein Collagen to my daily health supplements. Not only is this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie delicious, it’s healthy!
