Strawberry Glow Smoothie
This is one of my go-to smoothies for better energy and for glowing skin.
Smoothies were one of the first healthy habits I added into my life when I first began seeking better health. I found them to be a delicious way to start the day as well as an easy way to start the day. Smoothies are quick and simple. Not only that, but they also require minimal clean-up and can be taken on the go. This is something I find to be essential on busy mornings, especially as a mom.
This smoothie is packed with so much goodness to help you feel and look your best from the inside out. In this smoothie, you will find:
Protein powder- I love adding protein powder to my smoothies to up my protein intake. Protein is essential for supporting satiety, muscle, skin health, and your immune system.
Avocado- This is a great source of healthy fats and fiber. Healthy fats act as natural moisturizers for your skin, while fiber supports digestion, contributing to a radiant complexion.
Chia seeds- These seeds are small but powerful. They contain protein, fiber, and healthy fats, making them a great addition to your smoothies.
Strawberries- These berries are full of fiber and the antioxidant vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for collagen production. Collagen is what gives skin a youthful glow.
What you need (serves 1):
8-10 oz plant based milk
1 servings of protein powder (I used a vanilla plant based protein)
2 tsp chia seeds
1/4 of an avocado
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 - 1 frozen banana
Ice to thicken (add as needed)
Directions: Combine all of the ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until smooth. Pour and enjoy immediately.
