Who says that if it’s good for you it can’t taste good?
This delicious smoothie is packed full of skin boosting ingredients to help you glow from the inside out, such as:
- Blueberries are the best sources of antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep the skin looking young by protecting it from the sun’s damaging rays.
- Flaxseeds are a very rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids minimize irritation, redness and inflammation of the skin.
- Collagen positively influences skin structures and counteracts skin-aging, improving skin appearance and smoothing from within. It’s anti-inflammatory and good for gut health.
- Avocados are rich in healthy fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. They are keto-friendly, high in potassium and heart healthy fats. An avocado a day will keep keto-flu at bay!
- Almond milk is rich in the flavonoids: catechin, kaempferol and epicatechin, which are powerful antioxidants. They protect skin cells by fighting off free radicals.
Don't have collagen? Instead of collagen you can use whey protein powder, egg white protein powder or plant-based pea protein powder. Make sure to always check the carb count and the list of ingredients. Enjoy!
