Bone Broth Smoothie and Shake Recipes

A smoothie or shake is the easiest way to take bone broth as food when you want collagen and protein without cooking. The method is the same as any blend - the bone broth does the work. Blend a liquid base, something for body, a little flavour, and a scoop of Bone Broth Powder or Bone Broth Collagen Powder. A neutral or lightly flavoured powder dissolves in, so a well-flavoured drink carries it without tasting of broth. If you’re not sure which to reach for, how to choose a bone broth for powder covers what to look for.

A reliable starting formula:

Base - a cup of milk, a dairy-free alternative, or water.
Body - half a banana, a few tablespoons of yoghurt, or a spoon of nut butter.
Flavour and fruit - a handful of berries, mango or cacao.
Bone broth - a scoop of bone broth collagen powder or bone broth powder.
A vitamin C source - berries, a squeeze of citrus or kiwi. The body needs vitamin C to make collagen, so it’s a sensible thing to have in the same glass.

Blend until smooth, then adjust the liquid for the thickness you like.

Collagen smoothie recipes

Berry and yoghurt. A cup of milk, a handful of mixed berries, a few tablespoons of plain yoghurt, a scoop of bone broth collagen powder. The berries bring the vitamin C; the yoghurt adds protein and body.

Banana and cacao. A cup of milk or oat milk, half a banana, a tablespoon of cacao, a spoon of nut butter, a scoop of bone broth powder. A fuller, breakfast-style blend.

Green and citrus. Water or coconut water, a handful of spinach, half a kiwi, a little mango, a scoop of bone broth collagen powder. Light, with the kiwi and mango covering both flavour and vitamin C.

None of these needs to be exact - lean on fruit you’d enjoy anyway. The point is a glass you’ll come back to, because collagen intake works through regular use rather than a single serving.

Bone broth protein shake recipes

For a protein-led drink, build from a bone broth protein powder or a ready shake mix. Add a serving to your liquid, add the other ingredients, and blend until smooth. Milk gives a creamier shake, water keeps it lighter, yoghurt makes it thicker, and ice sharpens the texture if you want it cold. How much protein each shake carries depends on the powder or mix you use - the figures are in does bone broth have protein.

Banana and cacao shake. Blend a serving of bone broth protein powder with milk of choice, banana, cacao and a few ice cubes. A date or a little honey adds sweetness, though the banana is usually enough.

Berry yoghurt shake. Blend a serving with Greek yoghurt, frozen berries and milk or water to loosen. The yoghurt gives body, the berries bring brightness, and the bone broth protein sits in the background.

Coffee breakfast shake. Blend a serving with chilled coffee, milk of choice, banana or oats, and ice. A more substantial drink than coffee alone when you don’t want to make breakfast.

Peanut butter shake. Blend a serving with milk, banana, a spoon of peanut butter and ice. Use more milk for a lighter drink, less for a thicker one.

Vanilla shake. Mix a pre-mixed vanilla Bone Broth Shake with milk and shake or blend until smooth. Add ice to chill it, or banana to make it more filling.

Can you put bone broth in a smoothie

Yes - use a bone broth powder. It is made to dissolve in liquid, so it blends cleanly into a smoothie, and a neutral or lightly flavoured powder disappears into a fruity blend. Choose one of those over a strongly savoury option if you don’t want any broth character coming through.

Liquid bone broth and concentrate are savoury, so they suit hot drinks, soups and cooking - the chicken bone broth recipes are a good place to use them - far more than a cold smoothie. For a smoothie, reach for the powder - or make your own collagen-rich broth first, as set out in how to make bone broth for collagen.

Bone broth protein powder blends the same way, and its neutral flavour works with fruit, yoghurt, milk, cacao, coffee or nut butter. For a lighter smoothie, use fruit with water or a plant-based milk; for a more filling one, add yoghurt, banana, avocado, oats, nut butter or seeds.

Berry blend. Blend bone broth protein powder with frozen berries, banana and milk of choice - a straightforward fruit smoothie with added protein.

Green smoothie. Blend bone broth protein powder with spinach, banana, avocado, lemon and water or milk. The avocado gives a smoother texture and the banana rounds out the flavour.

Mango and yoghurt smoothie. Blend bone broth protein powder with mango, yoghurt and milk or water - a cleaner, brighter option than a chocolate or coffee shake.

Start with one serving, blend properly, and adjust the liquid until the texture is right. Most smoothie problems are texture, not flavour.

What to add to a smoothie for collagen

To raise the collagen in a smoothie and help the body use it:

A bone broth collagen powder or bone broth powder - the collagen source itself, as a whole food.
A vitamin C source - berries, citrus, kiwi - because the body needs vitamin C to build collagen.
A protein addition - yoghurt, milk or nut butter - so the smoothie carries enough protein alongside.

Berries, citrus and kiwi double as some of the easiest collagen rich foods to pair in the same glass.

The quicker route: a ready shake

When a smoothie is more effort than the morning allows, a shake covers the same ground faster. If you’d rather cook than blend, the beef bone broth recipes put the same bone broth to work in savoury dishes. A Bone Broth Shake is made to be mixed with liquid and drunk, no blender needed - mix with milk, shake well, and go. Bone Broth Collagen Powder works the same way: shake it into milk or water. It’s there for the days when measuring, blending and washing up make the difference between doing it and not.

Beyond the blender

Bone broth powder doesn’t have to stay in the blender. Stir it into porridge, yoghurt bowls, pancake batter or overnight oats, or into coffee if the powder suits hot drinks. It also sits alongside savoury formats for cooking bone broth, depending on whether you want something sweet, cold, warm or meal-based. For the full spread of ideas, see the wider bone broth recipes hub. If you want the protein figure to lead, the bone broth protein guide covers the builds; for collagen from food and how it compares to an isolated powder, see the bone broth collagen guide.

How often

Bone broth is food, so there’s no upper limit to worry about. Once a day is a sensible minimum, more often is fine, and the benefit builds with regular use over weeks rather than from one glass. A smoothie or shake is an easy way to anchor the habit - and spreading bone broth across formats, a smoothie here, a mug to sip, a shake on busy days, is the simplest way to get more collagen and protein in overall. You can buy bone broth in powder, liquid or ready-shake form to suit the day.

Your questions answered

Blend a liquid base, something for body like banana or yoghurt, fruit for flavour, and a scoop of bone broth collagen powder or bone broth powder. Add a vitamin C source such as berries or citrus, since the body needs vitamin C to make collagen.

Add a serving of bone broth protein powder to milk, water or yoghurt, then blend with fruit, cacao, coffee, nut butter or ice until smooth. A pre-mixed bone broth shake can be mixed directly with milk and shaken or blended.

Yes, using a bone broth powder, which dissolves cleanly into liquid. Choose a neutral or lightly flavoured powder so it disappears into a fruity blend. Liquid broth and concentrate are savoury and suit hot drinks and cooking better than a cold smoothie.

Yes. Bone broth protein powder has a neutral flavour and blends like whey, pea or other protein powders. Combine it with fruit, yoghurt, milk, cacao, coffee or nut butter, depending on the drink you want.

A bone broth collagen powder or bone broth powder is the collagen source. Pair it with a vitamin C source like berries or kiwi, which the body uses to make collagen, and a protein addition such as yoghurt or milk.
