Glowing & Clear Skin Smoothie

Hello Everyone,

I am always posting about natural skincare masks and how beneficial they are. So today i am going to share a clear skin smoothie recipe which really nourishes from within. Why not have the added benefit of treating your skin from the inside? It not only tastes great but is amazingly healthy.

You have heard the saying 'you are what you eat' before, and this just proves it. I have seen online testimonials to show how people have gone from having severely bad skin to completely clear complexions in a matter of weeks by drinking this every day.

I am delighted to be trying this out for myself since i have been looking for a decent green smoothie recipe for ages. Finding this has motivated me to start juicing. Clear skin with the added bonus of serious nutrition. Happy days.

I need plenty of iron in my diet since i recently found out I'm pregnant but i find it difficult to incorporate it in my diet every day. However, spinach is a great source of iron and there is plenty in this recipe so thats that sorted.

Omega 3 is an essential part of the diet aswell and it can be hard to fulfil daily needs. There is plenty in this with the flax seeds and almonds so another great reason to drink this regularly. Great benefit to hair and nails also. Sold!

*Note: You will need a blender or juicer to make this recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1 TBSP OF COCONUT OIL

300 ML WATER

1-2 HANDFULS OF ALMONDS

2 KIWIS OR 1/2 AN APPLE

2-3 TBSP FLAX SEEDS

25-50 MLS OF ACAI JUICE (Best) OR COCONUT WATER OR 2 TBSP LEMON JUICE WITH 40MLS WATER

2-3 HANDFULS OF SPINACH

DIRECTIONS:

THROW EVERYTHING IN THE BLENDER AND BLEND UNTIL SMOOTH

LEAVE THE REMAINDER IN THE FRIDGE IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER OR JUG COVERED IN CLING FILM

This makes a good breakfast on the go if you have a take-away plastic cup with a straw

You can drink it any time of the day in between meals. It is quite filling so probably best to drink separately from your main meals for that reason

I will be incorporating this as part of my daily routine and I'll report back on how my skin is reacting to it. I know its super healthy as part of my diet too so i think its a keeper!

Please let me know how you get on with this one, I'm keen to hear feedback. Feel free to comment in the box provided. Good luck!

Ciara x
