Why Collagen:
If you are looking for a plant based recipe, use a vegan vanilla protein powder instead of the vanilla collagen I used. Any vanilla protein will work in this recipe. I used this Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Collagen in the recipe though. I like collagen because it’s packed with protein but a specific type of protein. It’s hard to find sources of collagen in your every day diet so I like to supplement it in recipes like this pumpkin pie smoothie. I also add it to my coffee daily.
I’m not a doctor so this is my personal experience with collagen. But I think it helps keep my bones + joints healthy which I always worry about as a runner.
