Tropical Greens with Creatine

Hide your supplements in a tropical paradise — greens powder, creatine, and collagen all disappear.

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen pineapple
• 1/2 cup frozen mango
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 scoop greens powder
• 5g creatine monohydrate
• 10g collagen peptides
• 1 cup coconut water
• Juice of 1/2 lime

Method

1. Blend spinach and coconut water first until smooth.

2. Add everything else. Blend until creamy.

What You're Practicing

• The pineapple and mango completely mask the taste of greens powder, creatine, and collagen.
• This is the ultimate supplement-stacking smoothie — 3 supplements, zero taste.
• Coconut water provides natural electrolytes.

Daily supplement stack in one smoothie:

• Greens powder: micronutrients, adaptogens, probiotics
• Creatine (5g): muscle performance, cognitive function
• Collagen (10g): skin, joints, hair, gut health

Supplement add-ons (nutritional impact per serving):

• Whey protein (1 scoop vanilla, 30g): +120 cal, +25g protein. Makes this a complete post-workout drink — creatine for phosphocreatine replenishment, protein for muscle protein synthesis, and carbs from fruit for glycogen restoration.
• Collagen peptides (15g): +54 cal, +13g protein. Stacks with creatine for comprehensive musculoskeletal support — creatine for muscle, collagen for tendons and joints. The tropical fruits provide vitamin C for collagen synthesis.
• MCT oil (1 tbsp, 14g): +130 cal, +14g fat. Adds sustained energy and helps absorb the fat-soluble vitamins from the greens powder. Creates a creamier texture.
• Electrolyte powder: +0-10 cal. If using this as a workout recovery drink, electrolytes replace what you lost through sweat. The creatine pulls water into muscle cells — electrolytes ensure there's enough fluid to go around.
