AIP Friendly Avocado Lime Collagen Smoothie
Thick, creamy, and bright with citrus, this blended drink feels more like a treat than a wellness ritual — but it genuinely delivers on both fronts. Full-fat coconut milk and ripe avocado create an ultra-smooth, almost milkshake-like base that keeps you full and satisfied, while fresh lime juice and zest cut right through the richness with a zippy, tropical lift. Collagen peptides blend in completely invisibly, adding a protein boost without changing the flavor or texture one bit. A touch of honey and grated ginger round everything out, giving it just enough warmth and sweetness to feel indulgent. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed — no dairy, no grains, no nightshades, no seed oils — it fits neatly into the autoimmune protocol without any substitutions or workarounds required. It blends up in under two minutes and makes two generous servings, so it's an easy option for a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up when you need something nourishing fast.
