Training prep - a smoothie you’ll actually look forward to before training.
Pre-workout routines usually focus on stimulants. But if you train regularly, what you really want is something simple you can repeat before every session.
This pre-workout smoothie uses Revayo Prime Men’s Collagen in a fruity, creamy blend that’s easy to digest and genuinely enjoyable - so it’s easier to stay consistent.
- Fruity, creamy flavour (no “supplement” vibe)
- Light enough pre-workout
- One full serving of Revayo Prime - 14.77g FORTIGEL® collagen peptides
Where collagen fits around training
During training, it’s not just muscles doing the work. Your tendons, ligaments, and joints handle repeated load - especially with running, jumping, lifting, and high-impact sport.
Collagen is a structural protein that forms part of tendon, ligament and cartilage, and hydrolysed collagen is a dietary source of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. Taking it pre-workout is simply a way to build a consistent routine around training days - without relying on stimulants or complicated prep.
- Unflavoured, so it disappears into the smoothie
- 14.77g FORTIGEL® hydrolysed collagen peptides per serving
- Not a replacement for protein - collagen is an incomplete protein, low in leucine and with no tryptophan
- Easy to repeat and stick to

Common questions
Will this give me a “pre-workout boost”?
Collagen isn’t a stimulant and it won’t give you a boost. The goal here is routine consistency rather than a stimulant effect.
Should I still take protein?
Yes. Collagen is an incomplete protein - low in leucine and containing no tryptophan - so it is not a muscle-building protein and does not replace whey or plant protein.
Who this routine is best for
- Men who lift, run, or play high-impact sport
- Men over 30 who want one simple daily habit
- Anyone training consistently and thinking long-term
