Why Smoothies Are Powerful for Glowing Skin
Skin aging is influenced by:
- Oxidative stress
- Dehydration
- Inflammation
- Nutrient deficiencies
Smoothies make it easy to deliver bioavailable nutrients like antioxidants, chlorophyll, electrolytes, and healthy fats in a form your body can absorb quickly — especially first thing in the morning.
These recipes focus on:
- Antioxidant-rich fruits & vegetables
- Hydration and electrolytes
- Healthy fats for skin barrier support
- Functional ingredients traditionally used for skin health
