Spiced Pear Smoothie
Spiced Pear Smoothie is a warming and refreshing way to start your day. The pear and baby kale are lovely in combination with ginger, cardamom and a splash of maple syrup. I like to add collagen to this green smoothie because it adds protein and helps strengthen hair, skin and nails.

You are also missing out on a variety of vitamins and minerals that come with changing up your ingredients every day.

Health Benefits of Collagen
Did you know that collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in humans? It is derived from the Greek word meaning glue. This is fitting because it is the glue that holds our bodies together. Collagen provides structural support for skin, bones, connective tissues and organs. The health benefits of collagen include:
- Improves all-around health
- Relieves arthritis pain
- Great for hair, skin, and nails
