So, blender at the ready. Here are five genuinely delicious collagen smoothie recipes worth getting out of bed for.
THE QUICK BLEND
The best smoothies for glowing skin and hair combine colourful fruit, nourishing fats, protein and other wholefood ingredients. Adding marine collagen is an easy way to turn your everyday smoothie into part of your beauty-from-within routine.
1. Berry Glow Smoothie
Best with: Innour Berry Marine Collagen
Think creamy raspberry smoothie with just enough tartness. The Berry variety pairs beautifully with raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, making this one of our favourite morning blends.
You’ll need
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- ½ frozen banana
- 1 scoop Innour Berry Marine Collagen
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup Greek or coconut yoghurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Small handful of ice
To make
Add everything to a high-speed blender and blend until thick and creamy. Add another splash of almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Why we love it
Berries bring vitamin C and naturally occurring antioxidants to your smoothie, while chia seeds add healthy fats and fibre. The combination is creamy, refreshing and ridiculously easy to make.
2. Mango Coconut Summer Skin Smoothie
Best with: Innour Summer Fruits Marine Collagen
This one tastes like summer holidays in a glass. Mango, pineapple, coconut and lime create a fresh tropical smoothie that pairs beautifully with Innour Summer Fruits.
You’ll need
- 1 cup frozen mango
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 1 scoop Innour Summer Fruits Marine Collagen
- ¾ cup coconut water
- ¼ cup coconut yoghurt
- Squeeze of fresh lime
- Small handful of ice
To make
Blend everything until silky smooth. Pour into a chilled glass and finish with a little fresh lime.
Why we love it
Mango and pineapple give this smoothie its naturally sweet tropical flavour, while coconut yoghurt makes it creamy without making it overly heavy. It’s an easy way to turn your daily scoop of collagen into something you’ll actually look forward to drinking.
3. Strawberry Cream Collagen Smoothie
Best with: Innour Natural Marine Collagen
Simple, creamy and very strawberry. Using Innour Natural here means the strawberries remain the hero rather than competing with another flavour.
You’ll need
- 1½ cups frozen strawberries
- ½ frozen banana
- 1 scoop Innour Natural Marine Collagen
- ¾ cup milk of choice
- ¼ cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp honey, optional
To make
Blend everything together until creamy and completely smooth. For an extra-thick smoothie, freeze the strawberries and banana overnight.
Why we love it
This is a great place to start if you haven’t tried collagen smoothies before. The Natural variety has very little flavour of its own, allowing the strawberries and vanilla to do all the talking.
4. Green Goddess Glow Smoothie
Best with: Innour Natural Marine Collagen
Yes, a green smoothie can actually taste good.
The trick is keeping the spinach subtle and letting kiwi, banana and pineapple do the heavy lifting.
You’ll need
- 1 kiwi fruit
- ½ frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 1 generous handful baby spinach
- 1 scoop Innour Natural Marine Collagen
- ¾ cup coconut water
- ¼ avocado
- Squeeze of lime
- Ice
To make
Add everything to your blender and blend a little longer than usual to get the spinach completely smooth and creamy.
Why we love it
Kiwi and pineapple bring brightness and sweetness, while avocado creates that gorgeous creamy texture without needing much dairy. Natural Marine Collagen slips easily into the recipe without taking over the fresh, tropical flavour.
5. Peach, Raspberry & Vanilla Glow Smoothie
Best with: Innour Berry Marine Collagen
Possibly our favourite of the five.
Sweet peach, tart raspberries and vanilla come together in a creamy smoothie that tastes a little like peaches and cream.
You’ll need
- 1 frozen peach, sliced
- ½ cup frozen raspberries
- 1 scoop Innour Berry Marine Collagen
- ¾ cup almond or oat milk
- ¼ cup Greek or coconut yoghurt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- Ice
To make
Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Top with a few fresh or crushed frozen raspberries if you’re feeling fancy.
Why we love it
The raspberry flavour of Innour Berry naturally works with the peach and raspberries, while vanilla softens everything into a creamy, almost dessert-like smoothie.
What Makes a Good Smoothie for Glowing Skin and Hair?
A beauty smoothie doesn’t need 15 powders and an ingredient list longer than your skincare routine.
Start with real food.
Colourful fruit can provide vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Nuts, seeds, avocado and yoghurt can contribute healthy fats, protein and other nutrients. From there, you can add targeted supplements such as collagen depending on your individual needs.
Collagen is an important structural protein naturally found throughout the body, including the skin. Oral collagen supplements have also become a popular part of the wider beauty from within category.
The important thing to remember is that no smoothie or supplement replaces a varied, balanced diet, adequate hydration, sun protection or a good skincare routine. Think of it as another piece of the puzzle.
Which Innour Collagen Should You Put in Your Smoothie?
Berry
Try it with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, açai and other berry-based smoothies.
Summer Fruits
Pair it with mango, pineapple, passionfruit, peach, coconut and tropical smoothie combinations.
Natural
Your all-rounder. Add it to green smoothies, banana smoothies, cacao smoothies, coffee smoothies or almost any recipe where you don’t want the collagen changing the flavour.
Smoothies for Glowing Skin and Hair: Your Questions Answered
What can I put in a smoothie for glowing skin?
Look for a mix of colourful fruit and vegetables, healthy fats and protein. Berries, kiwi, mango, avocado, spinach, chia seeds, hemp seeds and yoghurt are all easy smoothie ingredients to experiment with.
Can I put marine collagen in a smoothie?
Yes. Collagen powder can be blended into a smoothie alongside your usual fruit, milk, yoghurt and other ingredients. A neutral collagen works particularly well when you don’t want to alter the flavour.
Which fruits are good in beauty smoothies?
Berries, kiwi, mango, citrus, pineapple and other colourful fruits are great choices because they provide a variety of naturally occurring nutrients and antioxidants. Rather than relying on one particular fruit, mix up your ingredients throughout the week.
Can I have a collagen smoothie every day?
Follow the serving directions of your chosen collagen supplement and consider your overall diet and individual nutritional needs. If you have allergies, are pregnant, breastfeeding or have specific health concerns, speak with an appropriate healthcare professional before introducing a new supplement.
Your Daily Glow, Blended
The best beauty routine is usually the one you can actually stick to.
If drinking collagen mixed with plain water isn’t your thing, don’t force it. Turn it into something you genuinely enjoy.
A frozen mango smoothie on a hot morning. A creamy berry blend after a workout. A green smoothie when your fridge needs clearing out.
Beauty from within can taste really, really good.
