Hi -,
More and more people have been asking if they can substitute a collagen shake or a smoothie for a meal. I hear you! And my answer is…
Yes! You can substitute a collagen shake for a meal IF you follow the proper portions.
The cornerstone of all my plans, as well as my advice, is about consuming highly nutritious foods in the proper proportions.
A lot of people like cooking, but we all have those days when we just don’t want to cook!
Luckily, a smoothie is super simple and if you follow proportions you'll have a meal in a glass in no time.
A perfect meal contains a delicious protein, a serving of healthy fat, a rich supply of non-starchy veggies, and an occasional serving of fruit...and this is so easy to get in a smoothie, just add...
collagen protein + leafy greens + a handful of berries + a healthy fat
So, as you can see a collagen shake or smoothie is a perfect “swap” for any meal.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I can’t tell you how freeing it is to have a delicious meal at my fingertips in minutes, especially when life gets hectic. It takes SO much of the pressure out of staying slim and healthy.
So next time it’s mealtime and you don’t feel like cooking, go ahead and reach for a glass instead of a plate!
Keep positive and stay healthy,
