Good nutrition is the key to amazing skin. And clear-healthy skin leads to an instant beautiful appearance, right? Well, easy achievement, believe me!

Your skin is craving for vitamins and minerals. If you want your face skin (well, every inch of your body skin, in fact) to look the best it can, you have to give your body all it needs for the power to maintain healthy skin.

What if I tell you that all you have to do is to make some fun in the kitchen and drink a delicious potion?

Here I Come With Some Easy Smoothie Recipes

Strawberries Smoothie

Did you know that a cup of strawberries has more Vitamin C than a medium orange? Well, trust me! Vitamin C fights free radicals that steal oxygen from cells, destroy collagen and encourage wrinkles. Also strawberries contain folic acid, which aids cell regeneration and cheers up the production of new cells.

Now, ladies let me tell you my strawberries smoothie recipe:

  • 1 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Now, blend!

Trust me, it’s delicious! If you like it sweeter, add honey – not sugar. Honey contains antioxidants, which only bring you some more benefits.

Carrot-Pineapple Smoothie

We all know carrots are excellent for eyes, due to the amounts of beta-carotene, which is converted in Vitamin A in the liver. As well as Vitamin A protects against skin problems and maintains skin health. Carrots help the collagen production in the body, and this means higher elasticity, avoiding stretch marks and prevention of wrinkles.

Beta-carotene is involved in the repairing process of skin tissues and provides protection against sun rays.

Here is the recipe for this smoothie:

  • 2 medium carrots
  • 3 slices of pineapple
  • 1 medium apple

Optional you might add some ice cubes. So refreshing!

Blueberries Smoothie

Blueberries are rich in vitamins A and C, and also have high antioxidant capacity,. The main antioxidant compounds in blueberries belong to a family of polyphenols, called flavonoids.

The vitamins in blueberries help to normalize oil levels, which lead to good-looking skin.

The antioxidants neutralize free radicals, prevent wrinkles and hang up the aging process. Also blueberries contain resveratrol, which has the awesome power to naturally darken your skin.

It has been proved that blueberries fight against cancer, due to the high levels of gallic acid. Healthy, from inside out!

Now, the ingredients.

  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 medium banana
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Double-Berries Smoothie

Above I told you the benefits of blueberries. Now, ladies what about a double-berry-mix. Sounds delicious, isn’t it?

Right, I’m talking about raspberries now. Same as blueberries, raspberries contain vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, the B complex group, and amount of minerals like potassium, magnesium, copper and iron.

Vitamin B7, also known as biotin or “the beauty vitamin” is found in raspberries in high levels. Biotin deficiency leads to skin problems like dry skin or generalized body rash. Hair can suffer the same problems.

So, by consuming raspberries you help your hair and skin become smooth and healthy.

Also the folic acid helps hair to grow faster.

Here is the recipe for this smoothie:

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 ½ cup yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon honey

Sweet and sour. As a hint, you can use vanilla yogurt. And also you can adjust by adding some more honey.

Apricots have impressive benefits for our skin, due to the contain of vitamins A, C, E , as well as minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper and potassium.

Apricots help in maintaining skin suppleness and elasticity. They are great for sensitive skin.

Keep your skin toned and firm! The vitamins A and E delay the signs of aging, and hydrate skin. Also they maintain hair health, due to the amount of nutrients they contain.

Ready for the recipe? Here it goes, ladies.
