“Your skin is glowing, what do you do” – this is something I’ve been getting asked often within the last 3 years. 🙈 It’s kind of embarrassing actually. Let me tell you my skin was farrrrr from ‘normal’. Tons of imperfections, breakouts, uneven…ugh such a mess. It was a long time coming, and even today I still have to work at it every. single. day.
But did you know the health of your GUT has everything to do with your SKIN?
It’s kind of like a reflection of your actually health. Suuuper cool. So let me tell you, beauty comes from WITHIN.
Don’t get me wrong the products we use on our skin and body are SUPER important and should be just as clean as the food we eat. And now I know better. If your not ready to ditch the toxins and switch up your skin care just yet – your diet is a great place to start. So here is my go to, to start the morning or afternoon pick me up.
This glowing green smoothie recipe is actually a really great outline to concoct the perfect smoothie. Definitely save this for your next date with your blender. Here are a couple of other great smoothie options to! Blueberry Oat Smoothie or Chai Coconut Smoothie
