I’ve recently purchased a Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series blender and decided to test it out by making a simple strawberry smoothie bowl. With the addition of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and focus on antioxidants, this bowl is meant to particularly nourish your well-being and physical beauty. Antioxidants and collagen help your skin, hair and nails grow and glow. This recipe was inspired by a basic strawberry smoothie recipe from childhood and endless pictures of smoothie bowls on Instagram.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen organic strawberries
• 1.5 cups almond milk
• 1 tablespoon of Chia seeds
• 1 serving (2 scoops) of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
• Handful of ice cubes
• 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt (Siggi’s Dairy)
• Fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, granola mix, dark chocolate (Alter Ego Dark Blackout Organic chocolate) for garnish.

Directions:

1. Begin by pouring in almond milk into blender. Add frozen strawberries, followed by chia seeds, protein powder, yogurt and finally ice cubes.
2. Blend until thoroughly and consistently mixed.
3. Pour smoothie into a bowl and add garnishes.
