This recipe says serves 1. Its massive! Is that correct? Surely you don’t drink the whole thing in one sitting.
Hi Colleen, this recipe serves 2 people 🙂
Is this OK for Phase 2?
I’ve added the collagen powder but it gives a really strange consistency. Any tips on adding collagen to smoothies? Should I make it into a gel first?
Hi Tracey. Thanks for getting in touch. You could try adding it to a bit of the liquid (so in this case the coconut water kefir or filtered water) and allowing it to sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken before blitzing in the blender. Hope this helps 🙂
