Collagen Green Smoothie with Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is one of the trendiest current diet hacks with celebrities encouraging followers to take a shot of apple cider vinegar every morning. There are, of course, some benefits to consuming apple cider vinegar but, for most of us, taking a shot of the stuff is a little hard core considering how strong the vinegar flavor can be. Not only that, but drinking this acidic vinegar straight can erode your tooth enamel and irritate your throat and stomach. Solution? Instead of drinking it straight, add apple cider vinegar to your morning smoothie! You’ll reap the benefits without suffering through drinking it straight.
This green smoothie is great because the kale, fruit, avocado, ACV, and collagen combine to create a super-powered start to your day. This thing is packed with vitamins and minerals, not to mention the Traditional Tonic Nourishing Collagen which supports whole-body health and gives you glowing skin.
If you’re strapped for time in the morning, you can chop the kale and cucumber the night before. You can also cut up the apple, pear, and avocado and pour the lemon juice over them to keep them from spoiling before you throw them in your blender. Then all you have to do in the morning is blend it up and the major health benefits from all of these great ingredients will do more to make you feel awake and energized all day than coffee ever could!
