Collagen Smoothie Bowls that Won’t Give you a Sugary Hangover!
Smoothie Bowls are traditionally made with a TON of sugary fruit or chocolate, high glycemic granola, calorie dense nuts, topped with honey or agave, and are served in proportions the size of your face!
I calculated an average of a few online recipes and ON AVERAGE, they are 750-850 calories, over 100 carbs, over 50g of sugar, and only 16-20g protein. These bowls are marketed all over the place as a HEALTH FOOD, but they are anything but! Is it any wonder why we have such a hard time maintaining our weight, struggle with sustained focus and energy throughout the day?
This recipe is an attempt to keep the YUM YUM, without sacrificing the TUM TUM.
Its low calorie, low sugar, and low carb and has plant-based alternatives so it can fit in a Keto, Paleo, 5&1, Macro Counting, or Whole30 program. It offers a full serving of age-reversing and joint repairing collagen, loads of protein and amino acids to help build up muscle that will burn fat throughout the day!

Yield
3-4 1-1.5 cup smoothie bowls
Ingredients
The ingredients below are high in amino acids and protein, low in sugar and carbs, high in micronutrients and minerals, and make a damn delicious smoothie bowl!
- 3 scoops CB Supplements Multi Collagen Powder
- 14 raspberries and 5-6 blackberries (frozen)
- 1 scoop Vanilla Whey or Plant based protein powder (I used on packet of Optavia French Vanilla for my smoothie bowl, but use what you’ve got!)
- ½ frozen avocado (night before take a ripe avocado, cut it in half, slice flesh into quarters, scoop out, and freeze.)
- 1-2 Tbsp Hulled Hemp Seeds (adds a lovely texture and bumps up the fiber, protein, antioxidants)
- 2.5 Cups Plain Greek Dairy, Coconut or almond milk yogurt. Amount determined by desired texture (I recommend starting with ¾ cups per serving)
Toppings
- 1 Tbsp slivered almond & cacao nibs, coconut flakes to top
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a POWERFUL blender and mix until smooth.
- Pour into a bowl and top slivered almonds, cacao nibs, and coconut flakes!
Recipe Tips
- If your blender isn’t super powerful, you may need to increase the amount of unsweetened Almond milk until your smoothie is blending and your desired texture is achieved.
- You can also add 1 Tbsp. almond butter or for a lighter option, 2 Tbsp PB2 like I did in my bowl (nutritional facts reflect using PB2). It adds a satisfying layer of peanut buttery flavor.
