We’ve heard it time and time again: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But making a decision on what to make that’s both delicious and nutritious can be as time-consuming as figuring out what to wear for an important job interview. We’re here to streamline your a.m. routine with these collagen smoothie recipes, which can be enjoyed in the morning, afternoon or evening.

Using ingredients like pumpkin, matcha and berries, these smoothie recipes have their own unique flavor. They do share one important similarity, however; they call for the addition of collagen, which helps to promote healthy hair, skin, nails and joints.** Keep reading to find your new go-to collagen smoothie.
