Acorn Squash is rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A supports skin cell turnover, helping to reduce dullness and promote a fresh, youthful complexion; also is high in vitamin C, which boosts collagen production and protects against free radical damage. Carrots are excellent source of beta-carotene. They help repair skin tissue, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and protect the skin from sun damage. They’re loaded with antioxidants and fiber, support a healthy digestive system, which is linked to clear, glowing skin, Banana’s are rich in vitamin C and manganese, which promote collagen production and protect the skin from oxidative stress, with a small amount adding natural sweetness without overwhelming the carb count; Coconut Water is nature’s electrolyte drink, keeping your skin hydrated and glowing. Its natural enzymes and potassium support skin cell function and hydration, making it an excellent base for a smoothie;
Collagen Peptides is the building block of healthy, youthful skin. Adding collagen peptides to your smoothie supports elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and promotes a firmer complexion; Turmeric contains curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, fights inflammation and brightens dull skin; reduces redness and promotes an even skin tone; Cinnamon has antimicrobial properties that can help fight acne-causing bacteria, boosts blood circulation, and contains antioxidants and polyphenols that protect against skin damage. Ginger has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that reduce redness and calm irritation, promotes healthy digestion, which is linked to clearer skin, and is high in gingerol, a bioactive compound with potent health and skin benefits.
