Health Benefits of This Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

Promotes Glowing Complexion

This delicious smoothie is an excellent choice if your focus is on skin health. Why? Because its ingredients are tailor-made for supporting collagen production.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, and it supports the scaffolding under your skin that helps it look tight, hydrated, and wrinkle-free.

The first, and most obvious ingredient, would be the collagen itself. Research shows that when you take a collagen supplement, it can enhance your skin’s texture and appearance by increasing elasticity and hydration. This makes your complexion looks less rough and more bright and healthy[*].

The second ingredient is strawberries. While they may not directly contribute any collagen protein, they’re a rich source of vitamin C, which is a vital nutrient for collagen production[*].

Rich In Antioxidants

Strawberries offer a range of antioxidant compounds, with one of the most notable being ellagic acid (EA). Ellagic acid is a polyphenol compound that’s been found to be protective against some chronic diseases due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and prebiotic qualities[*].

What’s more, researchers believe that EA may assist with metabolic health by mediating complications like insulin resistance, obesity, and atherosclerosis[*].

How To Make A Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Whipping up this smoothie couldn’t be easier.

Start by adding the Perfect Keto Strawberry Collagen Powder, unsweetened milk of choice, heavy cream, and strawberries to your blender and mix on high until smooth.

Next, chop up your Perfect Keto Banana Bread Bar and sprinkle it on top. Add some whipped cream and extra strawberries if you have them on hand, and you’re ready to enjoy.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Variations:

• To enhance the creamy texture, you can add in some avocado or Greek yogurt.
• You have lots of options when it comes to your milk of choice. Full-fat dairy milk works just fine for those that can tolerate dairy. However, if you’re dairy-free, you can choose from almond milk, coconut milk, coconut cream, macadamia nut milk, or any other milk that’s free of sweeteners. Although you’ll have to be careful adding in extra frozen fruit or fresh fruit, you can have a field day with veggies. Enjoy some green leafy vegetables, some cauliflower, or even some fresh or frozen broccoli. These veggies add a boost of nutrients without throwing off the flavor too much.
