AIP Friendly Pear & Ginger Collagen Smoothie
Creamy, lightly spiced, and naturally sweet, this smoothie feels indulgent while staying completely on-protocol. Ripe pear brings a gentle floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with the warmth of fresh ginger and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon, all blended into a silky base of full-fat coconut milk. Unflavored collagen peptides dissolve seamlessly into the blend, adding a protein boost without altering the flavor or texture — no chalky aftertaste, just a smooth, satisfying sip. Vanilla powder (not extract) keeps things compliant by skipping the alcohol base that standard vanilla extract contains, which is one of those small details that makes a real difference on a strict elimination protocol. A touch of honey rounds everything out without overwhelming the delicate fruit notes. It blends up in under two minutes and serves one, making it an ideal quick breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up when you need something nourishing but don't want to spend time in the kitchen.
