Skinny Jane Skinny Blend Protein Shake with Collagen Peptides

 Today I'm going to take a different turn on things.  Instead of focusing on fashion, let's focus on nutrition...somewhat.  I was recently selected to try a new protein shake with collagen peptides.  Thanks to Skinny Jane, I was able to try this chocolate flavored shake just yesterday.  It does come with a separate pack of collagen peptides that you can add to the shake.  

The Skinny Blend Shake by Skinny Jane was specifically designed to speed up your metabolism, nourish your muscles and tone your body.  The shake can be used as a replacement meal to lose weight or, as a way to boost energy by increasing your protein intake.  This shake is only 90 calories per serving and consist of 20 grams of protein when mixed with 8 oz milk.  Easy instructions guide you to making your perfect shake.  All you do is add one heaping scoop of the shake, add 1/2 TBS of the collagen peptides, 6 oz of liquid (preferably milk) and 5 to 6 ice cubes.  Blend well.  You can adjust the consistency of the shake by adding more or less ice.  The Skinny Jane Skinny Blend contains NO caffeine and NO aspartame.  

Let's Talk About The Collagen Peptides...  What exactly is collage peptides and exactly how does it benefit you in this drink?  Collagen peptides is a type of protein made from collagen that helps promote healthy skin, bones and joints.  There are actual studies that show collagen peptides help with weight loss as well as reduce body fat.  Skinny Jane's Skinny Blend contains 100% Pure collagen peptides which have these benefits:

1. Rejuvenates and repairs hair
2. Strengthens nails
3. Repairs and firms damaged skin
4. Helps relieve joint pain
5. Strengthens connective tissues and bones

   Ok...Let's Talk About The Taste... I will start by saying...it took me two times to get the shake to taste right for me.  At first I though it was collagen because my shake had a very light chocolate taste and was kinda frothy, but on the second try, instead of using water (this was my mistake), I used milk.  MUCH BETTER!  I actually thought about leaving the collagen out and just enjoy a nice chocolate shake, but I wanted all the benefits that the collagen peptides had to offer!

I will say, I was pleasantly surprised that this shake did not have that gritty taste, like you get with a lot of protein shakes.  When blended in a blender, it has a smooth consistency.  If you are someone who just does't like the taste of a protein shake or even the thought of it...go ahead and throw in a 1/2 banana or a TBS of peanut butter...I promise, it will make a BIG difference!

All-in-all, I really did enjoy this shake (once I go the taste right).  It only takes a few seconds to whip up and you won't have to spend all that time in the kitchen, before work, making breakfast or waste what lunch hour you have.  You can get Skinny Jane Skinny Blend in these available flavors:
