This soft and glowing skin smoothie is packed with healthy ingredients to keep the skin hydrated, smooth, and beautiful.
The best foods for the skin are high in water content to keep the skin hydrated, and high in antioxidants and vitamins to bring the best out of your skin. Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients in this soft and glowing skin smoothie.
Avocados:
They are a certified super food, containing essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and amino acids. They are known to increase the absorption of important nutrients such as beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and lutein. The D-manno-heptulose sugar found in avocados helps improve the production of collagen, which is crucial to keeping the skin healthy and young.
Coconut water:
Coconut water is packed with fluids and electrolytes that not only keep you hydrated, but your skin as well. Hydrated skin is healthy, glowing skin.
Kale:
One thing that makes kale so unique is it’s high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. It is well known that omega-3s have anti-inflammatory effects. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a leading physician and health expert, “Eating healthy fats such as animal-based omega-3 fats or the essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA) tends to reduce inflammation.” These anti-inflammatory effects help keep skin clear.
Directions:
Process the following ingredients in a blender:
1 cup of filtered water or coconut water
1 cup of kale, chopped
1 banana
1/2 avocado
1 tbsp of chia seeds
