Watermelon Collagen Smoothie
This Watermelon Collagen Smoothie has been my go-to after hot, outdoor workouts. It is light, refreshing and takes your hydration to the next level. Watermelon, chia seeds and cucumber are known for their high water content. Watermelon and cucumber are low in sugar, high in fiber and offer valuable nutrients and minerals that our body needs. Chia seeds absorb 300x their weight in water, not only help with recovery but aids in digestion as well.
Added bonus is that this smoothie is also great for your hair and skin and joints because it contains collagen, Vitamins A & C. For hair, skin & nails the best types of Collagen is Type 1 & 3. I like the brand Ancient Nutrition because it contains Types 1-5, which helps not only promote beauty, also aids our muscle, bones and joints. Collagen is is best consumed with Vitamin C, it helps with the absorption.
