Sabrina Carpenter fans have been raving about the star’s viral smoothie that is packed full of skin-loving ingredients.
One particular ingredient is collagen, which is known to help smooth out skin and prevent signs of ageing.
It comes as the ‘Espresso’ singer has partnered with American wellness brand Erewhon to sell the drink.
The brand, only based in Los Angeles, is charging $23 a cup meaning fans around the world have resorted to making their own version using the ingredient list that is available online.
The ‘Short n’ Sweet’ smoothie – which people claim tastes “like a tropical cloud” – includes vanilla oat milk, coconut water and blue spirulina powder.
As well as organic honey, the drink is packed with fruits such as strawberries, mango, pineapple, dates, tocos powder and the cup is lined with coconut cream.
It also features two types of collagen – Holi(mane) and Vanilla Collagen. These two ingredients are the reason behind claims the drink can help smooth out your skin and prevent wrinkles.
Collagen is naturally found in foods like fish and beef as well as several fruits that are included in the viral smoothie, such as strawberries.
However, those wanting or needing a boost can increase the amount of collagen they get through supplement powders or tablets.
Your body produces less collagen as you age, it’s a natural part of life. You can tell when your levels of collagen start to drop when your skin starts to wrinkle or sag.
Maintaining your collagen levels as you age can also improve the strength of your joints, bones, muscles and heart for the future.
In the short-term, collagen could also help improve the strength of your nails and hair, making them less prone to feeling brittle or breaking.
Collagen works hand-in-hand with vitamin C, meaning you’ll want to make sure you’re getting enough of this essential vitamin to get the best results from boosting your collagen.
According to the NHS, adults between the ages of 19 and 64 need 40mg of vitamin C daily. You should be able to get all the vitamin C you need from your daily diet. Good sources include citrus fruit, strawberries, broccoli and potatoes.
