Get your morning started with a huge dose of sunshine and vitamin C in a glass with this Tropical Crush Protein Smoothie! It has all the usual suspects when it comes to class tropical smoothie flavors – pineapple, banana, and orange. Plus an added boost of dairy free protein thanks to a couple scoops of collagen peptides. I love using collagen in smoothies because it doesn’t change the flavor or texture of the smoothie, but still adds a little bit of good for you protein.

This is what you’ll need to make this sunshine in a glass:

Frozen Bananas – frozen bananas are the key to getting this smoothie really creamy without any dairy.
Frozen Pineapple – Another key contributor to the creaminess of this smoothie, plus it’s just a classic tropical flavor!
Orange – You could exclude the fresh orange if you wanted to, but I like the added bump of orange flavor without adding more liquid.
Non-dairy yogurt – You need something to smooth out the sweet and tanginess of all the fruit in this smoothie, and I like the added creaminess. I prefer a coconut yogurt because the flavor works perfectly in this recipe, but you could use any non-dairy yogurt you’d like.
Collagen peptides powder – Here’s where you get the extra kick of protein. What I really like about using collagen in a smoothie is that it doesn’t add any extra flavor or sweetness, but still adds a bit of protein. Because it dissolves so nicely, you can really add quite a bit without changing the way the smoothie turns out.
Orange juice – I like to use the lower sugar, no pulp kind of OJ.
