Glow-Getter Smoothie

Strengthen your hair, skin and nails with this fruit infused smoothie.  NeoCell's Super Collagen is 100% pure collagen protein that provides building materials for growth and maintenance of a healthy body.  
  • Collagen is the number one protein in your body!
  • Collagen is the "glue" that holds your body together, making up your bones, tendons, ligaments and giving skin its elasticity.
  • Collagen supplementation not only can increase the amount of collagen fibers, but new fibers are more organized and less prone to fraying--leading to a more youthful appearance.
  • Collagen supplementation has been shown to reduce joint pain caused by arthritis.
  • Typically, after age 25, we lose about 1.5% of collagen each year.
  • Collagen is absorbed best when consumed on an empty stomach (wait 30 minutes before eating).
  • Vitamin C plays an important role in the production of collagen.
  • The Vitamin C in the Vitamin Water improves the absorbency of the collagen.  A 20 oz. bottle contains 150% of your daily value.
  • Pineapple is also a fantastic source of Vitamin C.  It contains 105% of the daily value per 1 cup serving.  Pineapple also contains bromeliad, an enzyme that can reduce bloating and may help arthritis pain by easting inflammation.

Ingredients
1 scoop NeoCell Super Collagen powder
8 oz. Vitamin Water Zero Orange
1 cup frozen pineapple

Blend and serve.  The NeoCell brand can be purchased here from Vitamin Shoppe.

Double Mocha Frozen Latte

This tasty treat was inspired by National Coffee Day! It contains over 25 grams of protein and as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.  The potassium from the banana plays an important role in balancing electrolytes and nervous system functions.  Cacao powder is high in antioxidants and can help reduce blood pressure and support heart health.

1 frozen banana (break into chunks before freezing for easier blending)
1 serving of instant coffee
3/4 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon cacao 

Blend all ingredients. The less almond milk you add, the thicker the latte will be!  Give it a try and comment below or tag me on social media! @inspirelingefitness
