- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ cup ice cubes
- Pinch of ground ginger or turmeric (optional)
Instructions
- Dice fresh pineapple into roughly 1-inch pieces and measure frozen mango chunks.
- Pour 1 cup of coconut water into the blender.
- Add 1 scoop of collagen protein powder and ½ cup Greek yogurt to the blender.
- Add pineapple, mango, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice.
- Drizzle in honey or maple syrup if using, then add ice cubes.

- Taste and adjust by adding more coconut water if too thick or sweetener if too tart.

Notes
Add liquids first to prevent collagen powder from sticking to blender sides. Use ripe but firm pineapple for best flavor. Blend about 45 seconds to avoid warming the smoothie. Use crushed ice for faster blending. Optional additions include ground ginger or turmeric for warmth and antioxidants. Dairy-free version can be made by swapping Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
