    This blueberry banana spinach smoothie recipe is creamy scrumptiousness! It’s also a fun way to get more fruits and vegetables in your diet.

    I had learned about the benefits of taking collagen years ago, when I was enrolled in natural health courses. I was intending to get my masters degree in natural health, but the universe had other plans for me.

    I never actually took collagen, however, until about six months ago. Dr. Axe’s multi collagen protein is perfect for fussy me because it is tasteless, odorless and easy to mix. You can buy this collagen in tubs or individual packets, which are perfect for when Christopher and I travel.

    Here’s a little history of the Ancient Nutrition company: It was co-founded by Dr. Josh Axe and Joshua Rubin. The company’s mission is to restore health, vitality and strength by providing history’s healthiest whole food nutrients to the modern world.  Intriguing, no?!

    The first brand of collagen I tried was not a winner. I’m pretty sensitive to taste and odor, so no, I did not enjoy that brand. Even adding other ingredients didn’t mask the flavor.

    Then I tried Dr. Axe’s multi collagen. I couldn’t believe the difference between the two brands. Or that collagen could have no flavor.

    Now I mix it with my morning water, some spirulina, maca powder or whatever other supplement I’m in the mood for and I look forward to drinking it every day.  I like the texture it adds to my beverages.

    Other ways to use multi collagen

    Add to:

    • coffee or tea
    • hot cereal
    • smoothies
    • baked goods
    • soups

    And the list goes on!!

    Helpful tips

    • You can use fresh blueberries and bananas like the ones pictured below or, if you like your smoothie to be as cold as I do, you can freeze the fruit. I made Christopher’s smoothie from the fresh fruit because he doesn’t like his drinks cold.
    • For my smoothie, I use frozen wild blueberries and a banana I peeled, cut and put in the freezer the night before.
    • Does the order that you add the ingredients matter? In a blender with the blades in the cover, you add the solids first and then the liquids.
    • With a blender like a Vitamix where the blades are in the bottom of the container, you need to add the liquids first, then the powders, then the fruit and spinach.

    How to make this blueberry banana smoothie

    Pre-step

    Get your blender and glassware.

    Step one

    Gather the ingredients – blueberries, bananas, yogurt, almond milk, spinach and collagen.

    Blueberries in a glass bowl, milk, yogurt and spinach all in their own measuring cups and some bananas on a table

    Let’s look at the overhead photo of the ingredients.  (The yogurt got squeezed out.)

    Step two

    Add the ingredients to the blender container. The order will depend on what type of blender you have. See the helpful tips for my ideas about it. This is the order I used with a Ninja blender with the blades in the cover.

    • Spinach
    • Almond milk
    • Yogurt
    • Frozen blueberries
    • Frozen banana
    Chopped up banana's, blueberries, spinach, yogurt and almond milk in a blender

    Lastly, I add the star of the show, the collagen!

    Pouring the collagen from a packet into the blender container. There are bananas and spinach in the background

    Step three

    Add a few ice cubes, cap the blender and blend the ingredients for 45 seconds.

    Pour the smoothie into the glasses.

    Two glasses filled with the spinach smoothie with collagen in the background as well as some blueberries and bananas

    I need to get closer to the smoothie!

    Christopher loves spinach, just not in smoothies. So, I made him one with just the blueberries, banana and collagen.

    It’s as delicious as it is pretty.

    He loved his smoothie as much as I loved my smoothie with spinach added.

    I hope you enjoyed this blueberry banana spinach smoothie recipe!

    Another delicious smoothie is the banana blueberry smoothie.

    And as always, may all your dishes be delish!

      Anytime I am look at a supplement, having them be taste free and odor free are huge. Sounds like you found a winner. What a yummy way to get collagen protein.

      That smoothie looks delicious!! I also love adding collagen to foods because of its health benefits but I haven’t come across the Dr Axe brand. I must look out for it and give it a go! Like you, flavour and odour are a deal breaker for me so sounds like this one will be perfect!

      I must absolutely try Dr Axe’s collagen, tasteless and odorless is key to me too or I can’t have it at all! Your smoothie recipe looks delicious and a great way to ingest the collagen or any supplement, will follow your advice, thanks!!

      Truth be told, I didn’t even know that collagen supplements were a thing! I tend to shy away from supplements just because they usually have a bad aftertaste or odor – but since you’re recommending this, I’ll need to give it a shot! I’m not getting any younger 😉

      Blueberry-Banana is such a great flavor pairing, and I love that you got the spinach in there too! Greek yogurt makes such great smoothies. I’ll have to check out Dr. Axe’s multi collagen protein. Love that it’s flavorless and odorless!
