The Benefits
Chia Seeds
Massive amounts of vitamins, minerals and nutrients all contained in a tiny seed. Chia seeds are the best plant source of omega 3 and packed with plenty of antioxidants. These properties contribute to healthy and hydrated skin and hair.
Avocado
You’ve probably seen avocado featuring amongst the most popular anti-ageing face creams for its antioxidant richness and moisturising powers. Packed with vitamins C, E, K and natural fats, all necessary for healthy and supple skin. The fruit works nicely in a smoothie due to its creamy texture.
Bananas
Bananas are rich in potassium for hydration, vitamin B to protect from oxidative stress, A to heal withered skin and C to promote collagen stimulation.
Kale
Kale is incredibly rich in the hard to come by vitamin K, a powerful anti-ageing nutrient which fights off disease and an anti-inflammatory to protect against the physical and psychological signs of ageing. The vitamin has been shown to have extraordinary effects in stalling cognitive decline. Kale will keep you youthful inside and out!
Almond Milk
Almond milk is full of vitamin C and E which promote healthy skin. The drink is also packed with essential minerals for a healthy immune system and free radical protection.
The Bottom Line
A superfood smoothie is a great way to kickstart your day with a nourishing boost. These ingredients all help promote a glowing complexion naturally and provide your body with the essential nutrients to age well, fighting wrinkles and promoting collagen to ensure skin is supple and smooth.
