WHY MAKE A SMOOTHIE FOR BEAUTY?
An easy way to get some beneficial foods for the skin into the body is with a smoothie. This is one of my favorite beauty smoothie recipes! It is packed with antioxidants and vitamins. As we know Vitamin C can be so beneficial for the skin topically. But that is also the case with the foods we eat. Eating foods high in Vitamin C can bring back a glow to our skin and boost our immune system.
This recipe makes about 3 smoothies. You can freeze 2 smoothies and enjoy later for convenience. Or just reduce the measurements to make 1 smoothie. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup organic frozen strawberries*
- 1/4 cup organic frozen blueberries*
- 1 small Clementine orange
- 1/2 avocado
- A couple inches of organic cucumber
- 1 tablespoon organic ground flaxseed
- 1 1/2 cups coconut water
- 2 tablespoons almond butter**
- 2 cups ice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons raw local honey
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve cold.
SIDE NOTE
I prefer all organic but only listed organic by the ones that I thought were most important.
*You do not have to use frozen berries. I prefer them because it is much easier than cutting and rinsing etc. But fresh would be even better for the body, so it’s your preference.
**If you have a nut allergy you can always substitute with sun butter or tahini.
Enjoy!
My 7 year old daughter saw your smoothie and said “Hello, beautiful!” then she said “maybe we should make this one day!” I agree 100%!
That’s wonderful! It’s a good one. Thanks for following and your comments ?
