7 Healthy Smoothie Recipes for Gorgeous, Glowing Skin!

Healthy Smoothie Recipes collage with 4 different smoothies

I promise you, I’m usually not one to boast, but when your dermatologist says to you, “EA. You never look any older. Whatever you’re doing, keep it up,” you might blush a little, thank her profusely, then secretly pat yourself on the back for all the kale, berries, salmon, and green tea you’ve been eating and drinking. Just like I did 🙂

Now, to be honest, by no means do I have flawless, porcelain skin. Those teenage and college years of soaking in the sun {exactly what I tell my kids NOT to do} are hard to erase, but I do think I look at least a few years younger than my age, so…

I’ll gladly keep on eating my kale salads, and drinking my coffee and green matcha tea, if it helps put a little glow back in my skin, AND I’m happy to share some of my favorite healthy smoothie recipes with you, so you can have gorgeous glowing skin too!

7 Healthy Smoothie Recipes for Gorgeous, Glowing Skin

CACAO DATE SMOOTHIE

This Cacao Date Smoothie from one of my favorite healthy smoothie recipe cookbooks, 25 Anti-Aging Smoothies for Revitalizing, Glowing Skin, by Sarah Koszyk, is one of the most popular recipes here at The Spicy RD. And for a good reason. It’s absolutely delicious!

Two key nutrients for healthy skin in this Cacao Date Smoothie include walnuts {plant sourced omega-3 fatty acids}, and cacao, which is rich in flavanols to protect skin from sun damage and enhance blood flow to the skin for a healthy glow.

WILD BLUEBERRY LAVENDER SMOOTHIE

Skin health nutrients include Wild Blueberries {rich in skin soothing antioxidants}, Swiss Chard {rich in vitamins A, C, & E}, and avocado.

Preliminary research suggests avocados have compounds that may help protect skin from wrinkles and other signs of skin aging. (1) I think we can all drink to that!
