Gelatin may conjure images in your mind of that slimy, unnaturally green and orange dessert you got in the cafeteria with your school lunches, but dessert made with gelatin is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using this potent superfood. Gelatin is a byproduct of meat processing and comes from the bones and connective tissues of animals. It may sound unsavory, but these parts of animals are actually extremely good for you.
There was a time when people consumed nearly all of an animal, while today we simply end up with the processed and packaged meat, or muscle tissue. What we are missing out on are the nutrients found in those discarded parts. When you buy and use pure gelatin in your smoothies, you are adding back in important amino acids that have many benefits for your health.
If I could only use one word to describe this smoothie it would be: nourishing.

This smoothie is dedicated to an old colleague and friend, Todd, aka T-Mac.
This smoothie features one of my new favorite ingredients, gelatin.
Are you looking for a protein-packed smoothie that doesn’t call for a supplement or powder, just natural protein from the ingredients?
