The Beautiful Skin Smoothie

The Beautiful Skin Smoothie One of the many benefits people experience when consuming healthy smoothies on a regular basis is clear, supple, glowing skin.

The secret to beautiful skin is how healthy you are on the inside, not what you apply externally. Although external lotions, creams, salves, and such that aren’t full of toxic tagalongs can be very helpful to your skin.

Your skin really is a reflection of how healthy you are on the inside. If your major organs are functioning properly, your blood is clean, your digestion is good, and your body’s natural detoxification channels are working correctly, most likely you have beautiful skin.

The Healthiest Smoothie Ever

The Healthiest Smoothie Ever I’m making a bold claim with the title of this smoothie, but hear me out.

In my quest to have the best day ever, the alchemist in me came out as I threw every superfood in my kitchen into the blender. The result, a delicious, creamy, and outrageously healthy superfood smoothie.

Post Football Practice Smoothie

This smoothie was designed to refuel your body after an intense session of exercise. It’s important to consume protein within an hour after exercising to provide your body with the raw materials needed to recover and rebuild.

Football practices are well under way across the country, hence the name of this smoothie, which is a great option after any sort of challenging workout, competition, or sport specific practice.

While composing this recipe post I was reminded of the not so healthy milkshakes I use to drink after football practice as a youngster. Regular old store bought milk, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup. If only I knew then what I know now.

Special K Protein Green Smoothie

Special K Protein Green Smoothie In a recent comment on my Blueberry Spinach Green Smoothie recipe a reader revealed their version of this smoothie, with Special K Protein Shake as the liquid base. I’d never heard of Special K Protein Shake and thus looked it up. It’s a weight loss drink by Kellogg that’s far from healthy.

As a matter of fact, if someone snuck some into my home I’d immediately pour it down the drain where it belongs. One glance at the long list of ingredients and you should quickly be able to discern why this weight loss shake is unhealthy.

So, I decided to create my own healthy Special K green smoothie rich in vitamin K and protein that will help you lose weight, and improve your health.

Ormus Supergreens Smoothie

Ormus Supergreens Smoothie This green smoothie features one of my favorite green superfood powders, Ormus Supergreens.

I recommend green superfood powders for one or more of the following reasons: getting your daily allowance of veggies is a challenge, traditional green smoothies (blended green leafy vegetables) aren’t your thing, you want to incorporate an extremely nutrient dense green superfood into your diet.

For a lot of people using green superfood powders is sort of graduation to the next level of smoothie making, but in reality they can be a great starter ingredient if you want your smoothies loaded with nutrition, without much effort, right off the bat.

Goji Raspberry Smoothie

Prepare to smile when this delicious smoothie meets your taste buds.

This delicious berry smoothie contains enough nutrition to qualify as a legitimate superfood smoothie…my favorite kind :)

Goji berries are one of the first superfoods I tried, and I still consume them regularly today. These little red berries are loaded with nutrition. They are antioxidant powerhouses, a complete protein (contain 19 different amino acids and all 8 essential) source, rich in trace minerals, and high in beta-carotene.
