Get The Glow: A Beauty Smoothie Recipe from Kitchy Kitchen and Pretty Pleased


Now that the holidays are over and we’re well into winter, now is the perfect time to start those New Year’s resolutions and get well from the inside out. A beauty smoothie is perfect for getting those much-needed nutrients in your body that will also benefit your skin and help bring back that summer glow. Avocado is a superfood for many reasons - it’s loaded with vitamins C and E, and is an antioxidant. It’s a good fat and is so yummy in just about anything, but makes this smoothie rich and creamy. Ginger not only adds a spicy kick but also has a multitude of goodness going on. In addition to being a traditional digestion aid, it also helps with acne, anti-aging, and skin toning. Almonds are packed with vitamin E and using almond milk in your smoothie adds B2, which helps with hydration. Spinach is another superfood and adds a punch of nutrients, including potassium, iron and calcium. Add a few slices of cucumber for freshness and another vitamin rich boost of C, K and A. Sweeten your drink by adding honey (a natural skin saver), agave or stevia.
