People Can't Stop Making This Creamy Collagen-Supporting Smoothie


There's been a dreamy blue smoothie flying around TikTok lately, based on a recipe from a West Coast organic market, Erewhon. It's typically referred to as the "blue cloud smoothie," as the coconut cream resembles fluffy clouds against a wide, blue sky—gorgeous aesthetics aside, it's tasty and nutritious, too!
We have the ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and a bonus tip to make this recipe even better for you and your skin. The secret? Include a scoop of collagen powder into your blend.* Don't worry, our powder of choice comes unflavored, so it won't mess with the delicious recipe, but you will be doing yourself a favor by adding some skin-loving ingredients.* Let's get into it!

Blue Cloud Smoothie
Of course, we're huge fans of the smoothie's star ingredient, blue spirulina, sometimes referred to as blue Majik. It's packed with vitamins and minerals, including calcium, potassium, B vitamins, and iron; it also contains phycocyanin, which boasts some incredible antioxidant properties (it's also responsible for giving spirulina its vibrant blue-green color).
Then to add even more skin-healthy nutrients, why not toss collagen into the mix?* Collagen supplementation has countless benefits, both for the skin and the entire body.* It promotes your skin's natural collagen and elastin production, enhances skin hydration, and supports gut and digestive health.* You can read more about collagen's benefits here if you're curious, but it's an easy addition to any recipe, especially smoothies.
