Yellow Magic Smoothie – Healthy & Helpful Tips with Melissa
Yellow Magic Smoothie
Created By Melissa Bistricer, MS, RDN
College students can be part of the “back to school” smoothie series too! This smoothie will be geared towards all the college students, grad students, or really anyone over the age of 25 years old. Why do I single out individuals older than 25 years old? This is because collagen is naturally produced in the body, though after the age of 25 our bodies start to slow down the production of collagen. This can cause wrinkles and other skin health related issues. Collagen decreases production in the body by about 1.5% per year, which therefore means that at the age of 60, we have lost almost 50% of our supply of natural collagen.†
This smoothie is great for college students running and dashing out to class. It will give you a chance to get a fulfilling breakfast to have a successful day with the addition of adding in our Collagen HxⓇ to make sure we have collagen in our bodies and to help enhance skin, hair, nails, and joint health.†
The Collagen HxⓇ does add a vanilla flavor to the smoothie that just enhances the taste and was fabulous in my opinion! †
