I have been using a good collagen product in my daily smoothie for over a year and have benefited from it. I have suspended the use of the collagen in recent days, however, after reading about its estrogen-like properties and the possibility of a link to breast cancer. I would appreciate any information/insights you have about this dilemma. Thank you!

In reply to Dani. I hear you on wanting the benefits of raw milk. However, in the event something goes wrong and you get a bad batch the consequences can be devastating. It can shut down your organs real fast. I feel that humans are not designed to require animal milk and while it is nourishing as a food source it is not needed. Therefore, I do not feel it is worth chancing raw milk. My feelings, as much as I do realize the benefits of all goes well. However, I do chance the raw egg yoke. (As opposed to the whole raw egg.)

In reply to Dani. Agree! Raw milk is super yummy and so good for you! Pasteurized milk on the other hand is just dead puss, can’t even tell when it goes bad...

Why can’t you use egg WHITES? But only the yolks?
thanks!

What kind of geletin do you uses – is it just Knox geletin?

Hi, thank you very much for the recipe. May I just double check, if gelatin powder and collahen powder are the same. I am thinking of using one with
Collagen Powder 600g Protein High Grade Unflavoured Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides Made in The EU from Pure Bovine 100% Collagen Hydrolysate in Resealable Pouch by Nu U Nutrition.

Would it be suitable for a 2.5 year old toddler?

Thank you,
Maria

In reply to Amy. That's a great idea! I don't see why it wouldn't work...

Any reason i shouldn’t try freezing this? My husband works nights and would love for him to have this as breakfast but can’t turn on blender at 6am when he gets home with two toddlers and baby sleeping….so was thinking of freezing and then pulling a serving out to thaw in fridge that he could drink in mornings…..just didn’t know if nutritionally that wouldn’t work or something. Thank hou

In reply to Ozzie. Get raw cows milk-grass fed. NOT PROCESSED it’s much healthier for you. My gut loves it. My body does amazing o it. U can taste the difference and I haven’t been able to get it the past few weeks and now I gotta take probiotics. With the raw milk I don’t!!!

Could I just skip the egg yolks and add Nutiva protein powder instead of collagen?

By: Wellness Mama

In reply to Joy. No, you don't need to dissolve the collagen first.

By: Joy

Joy — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 21:02:44 +0000

So no need to add gelatin in the hot liquid first?
How does that work?
I have seen that they always add gelatin in hot liquid to get dissolved and then add that to whatever shake.
Please reply

I made this this morning with TJ’s frozen cherry blend for the fruit, no ice because my kids never refill it, and two TBSP instead of the yolks. I also added the cinnamon.

SO GOOD! Thank you!

This is a delicious smoothie recipe! You’re right, it does taste like a milkshake- but it doesn’t give me a stomachache, headache, and sugar rush after I drink it! I was uncomfortable with using our “store eggs” raw in this recipe, but to make sure I had enough protein I added almond butter. I also ate a hard boiled egg on the side. I’ve had this smoothie for breakfast almost every day this week because it’s nice and quick for rushed mornings. Thanks for yet another genius recipe, Wellness Mama! ?

Can you use powdered egg yolks for this recipe? I don’t have access to fresh eggs.
