Healthy skin starts from inside. Eating a clean natural diet, drinking lots of fresh water, and avoiding toxic environments whenever possible.

Here’s a nice way to start the day or a good lunch replacement meal.

2/3 cup. of non-dairy milk:  almond milk/ pea milk/ oat milk/ cashew milk/rice milk

1 cup of yogurt or if vegan, cashew milk yogurt

1/2 cup of your favorite berries (blueberries are best!)

1/2 of an avocado

A handful of spinach or kale

1 tsp. cinnamon or a few drops food-grade cinnamon oil

A drizzle of organic honey to desired sweetness

1 small banana ( I keep several frozen for an added creamy treat)

A few ice cubes (more for a frostier smoothie, fewer for a creamier one)

OPTIONAL: Scoop of protein powder of your choice.

Put all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until no lumps are visible. Serve immediately.

If you’re not a berry-lover, pineapple is a GREAT choice to get an extra dose of collagen-boosting Vitamin C.
