Smoothies for seriously smoothielicious skin

If you love drinking refreshing smoothies and want to feed your skin at the same time these recipes will put a very big smile on your dial!

Smoothies made from oh so healthy juices are loaded with antioxidants that flight free radicals that cause those pesky lines and wrinkles. Protein rich probiotic ingredients like yogurt & coconut milk help with improving digestion and reducing belatedness (who doesn’t love a flatter belly and relief from indigestion?). Tropical fruits like papaya and cantaloupe contain enzymes like papain that break down food and aid digestion as well as offering antioxidant and vitamin benefits for skin.

Adding fruits and oils like avocado, olive oil, coconut oil or flax seed boost your “good fat” amino acid levels helping to lubricate skin sebum helping to lift away blackheads and unclog pores. These oils are rich in fatty acids which help to lock in moisture in skin cells protecting against dehydration and wrinkles.

The following recipes are not only delicious, but jam packed with skin pampering repairing nutrients. You can even splodge the creamy mixture on your face for an extra decadent (albeit messy) skin treat!

For an extra healthy smoothie add a teaspoon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
to these recipes (can also be used as as a moisturizer).
