Looking for extra ways to nourish your skin, hair, nails and connective tissue from within? Drink up an extra dose of collagen, protein and healthy fat from coconut milk with this Tropical Vanilla Coconut Smoothie Bowl by Primal Kitchen.

What the heck is collagen you ask? Collagen is the protein that holds everything in your body together. It makes up about 30% of all the protein in the human body, and is found in your bones, tendons, ligaments, connective tissues and skin, and plays various roles in your overall health. Collagen production naturally declines with age, so adding an extra dose to your diet is a great way to repair connective tissue (in joints, tendons and muscles) and support healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Primal Kitchen makes a full suite of products that are uncompromisingly delicious and nutrient-dense, filled with heart-healthy, natural fats, clean protein, and ingredients rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. This includes their new Vanilla Coconut Collagen Fuel. Their products contain nothing processed or artificial, no added sugars, partially hydrogenated or trans-fats, soybean or canola oils. No artificial flavors, colors, dyes, waxes or chemical preservatives. Just. Real. Food.

Dive headfirst into Primal Kitchen’s tropical smoothie bowl recipe to get your fix of clean protein, healthy fat and collagen, and toast to nourishing your body for the good life! Or, as we love to say, Pura Vida.
