Inside: A delicious collagen smoothie made with simple, real-food ingredients. Sponsored by Dr. Axe – Food Is Medicine.
My mom swears by collagen (the nutritional supplement that is).
My mom also looks 20 years younger than she is, so she must be on to something!!
Strawberry “Superfood” Collagen Smoothie Recipe
My husband and I make protein smoothies on the regular, so when the team at Dr. Axe invited us to try their new Dr. Axe Multi Collagen Protein supplement I was excited.
My mom gets her collagen by making bone broth — a process that literally takes all day. A supplement seems like a much easier way for me to get more collagen in my diet. Dr. Axe Multi Collagen is a unique formula of 5 types of food-source collagen, so it really is like getting the benefits of bone broth, without all the work.
With 7 grams of protein per scoop, I easily convinced my protein-loving husband to let me swap it for our usual protein powder.
This is strawberry & tropical fruit collagen boosting smoothie is our favorite recipe that we created after experimenting for a couple weeks. It tastes like a dessert, but contains ZERO added sugar and it’s packed with goodies that your body will love!
I like to drink my smoothie in the morning — it’s like rocket fuel to start my day! If you think about it, this is a concentrated glass of superfoods, so it’s no wonder I feel almost immediately energized!

In addition to protein and collagen, here’s what’s inside:
- Free radical-fighting antioxidants
- Calcium (look for an almond milk that’s enriched with calcium + Vitamin D)
- A wide range of vitamins, including Vitamins A & C
- Key minerals like potassium & magnesium
- Dietary fiber (I didn’t know it, but pineapples are a good source!)
Tropical Fruit Collagen Boosting Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 banana
- 1-2 scoops Dr. Axe Multi Collagen Protein supplement
- 1 cup almond milk
(makes 2 servings)

How to make this easy collagen smoothie:
Peel banana and remove tops from strawberries (if using fresh). Add to blender with frozen mango, frozen pineapple, almond milk (or milk of your choice), and 1-2 scoops of Dr. Axe Multi Collagen Protein.
Note: We used frozen fruit because it creates a frosty, chilled smoothie without needing any ice (which waters down smoothies).
Blend on low speed for 30 seconds to break up large chunks of fruit, then on high speed for 1 minute, or until smooth.

this is not a collagen smoothie made with simple real natural foods because it contains a collagen supplement. im looking for a collagen smoothie that contains only food.
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Hi Julie – the thing about collagen is that the foods that contain it (salmon, bone broth, etc) wouldn’t taste great in a smoothie. Some fruits and veggies contain antioxidants that help prevent collagen breakdown, but don’t actually contain collagen itself.
