Boosting smoothie. Feelin’ BLAH? Need a boost?
Not for long! Blend up this amazing, energy-boosting smoothie to put that pep back in your step!
Before you look at the ingredients and wonder why I’d put BEETS in a smoothie, hold up! Beets have gotten a bad rep! Dwight K. Schrute knows this and now you will, too. ? So many women are anemic without knowing it (blame it on that time of the month…) and an iron boost from beets helps bring back some of your sparkle.
Collagen is my best friend
You babes all know I love me some collagen! Here’s why: it has the amino acid glycine which promotes an efficient metabolism. Translation: more ENERGY! ?
The final ingredient in this amazing smoothie: pitaya. You girls know from the smoothie bowls that pitaya is a nutritional powerhouse! ? It’s got healthy carbs, protein, omega-3s, antioxidants, and VITAMINS! (And it’s a good thing, or I’d be exhausted from just writing that list! ?)

I see you talking about collagen protein a lot! Is there any collagen protein that is vegetarian?
What blender do you use to make your smoothies?
