Clear Skin Green Smoothie Recipe

If you are looking to promote healthy, smooth clear skin with a beautiful rosy glow then this smoothie is just what you are looking for. Whether you use spinach or kale for the greens you will be giving your skin a wonderful hydration kick. it will also provide lots of vitamin C and promote collagen production. If you choose mango, they contain carotenoids which help bring back a rosy glow to dull skin. If pineapple is your preference it will further increase the amount of vitamin C in the smoothie. Vitamin C is key to the production of collagen which gives the skin strength and firmness. The spinach or the kale are both high nutrient dense superfoods and the coconut water is super hydrating. The addition of the flaxseeds will slow down the release of sugar from the fruit and will add some fibre and omega 3 into the smoothie. I have also added spirulina powder which is also excellent for the skin as it protects against free radical damage and boosts collagen production. It can boost the overall health and appearance of the skin, alongside preventing acne and swelling. Spirulina decreases inflammation, providing toning to the skin to promote a more youthful-looking complexion. The addition of the lemon will provide a zesty kick to the smoothie and will gently detoxify the body. Give it a try and let me know what you think!!
