This glowing skin smoothie is full of vitamins and minerals. It's also light, healthy, colorful and tastes like heaven. All the ingredients I've used are perfect for the skin, but it's not a miracle potion, if you don't eat properly, don't exercise and don't live a healthy lifestyle, you'll never have a glowing skin.
Many skin problems are related to food allergies, the food we eat or the toxic lifestyle we live. Smoothies are the perfect way to detoxify the body and it's a healthy habit in our daily lives. I love to have a big smoothie for breakfast, it's ready in less than 5 minutes, is nourishing, satisfying and so delicious. Avoid coffee, milk, eggs, refined bread and other unhealthy foods and start your day with a super smoothie, you'll feel better.
I haven't added any leafy greens to make this smoothie because I wanted to get an intense pink color, but I usually add spinach or chard because they're my favorite leafy green vegetables, but you can use lettuce or any other you like.
I have a 4 cups or 1 liter smoothie almost every morning. I try to avoid plastic for the environment and for my health, so I use a big glass jar and the glass straws you can see in the pictures. I bought these straws on a Spanish web, but I also use Glass Dharma straws (you can see them in this 5 Minute Anti-cellulite Green Smoothie), they are simpler and less fragile.
Why is this smoothie good for your skin?
- Drinking water is really important to have a beautiful skin. If your skin is not getting the sufficient amount of water, the lack of hydration will present itself by turning your skin dry, tight and flaky. Dry skin has less resilience and is more prone to wrinkling. So drink at least 2 liters (about 68 fl oz) if you want a radiant, healthy, younger skin.
- Flax seeds are the richest vegetable source of omega-3 fatty acid, is a potent anti-inflammatory, minimizing irritation, redness and inflammation of the skin. It can also relieve skin rashes and some chronic conditions such as rosacea, acne, dermatitis and psoriasis. The essential fatty acids found in flax seeds help keep your skin hydrated and smooth in appearance.
- Banana fruit has nutrients that are essential for the skin. They contain significant amounts of vitamin C and B6, which plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity and elasticity of the skin.
In addition, the large amount of antioxidants and manganese present in banana protect the body from damage caused by oxygen free radicals which lead to premature aging of the skin. - Raspberries come with a very high content of antioxidants. It is a well-known fact that antioxidants make your skin age slowly. Red raspberries contain anthocyanins, the nutrients which are extremely essential for maintaining a youthful skin and a beautiful complexion too. Raspberry seeds contain high amount of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These are found to be great for treating skin-related conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
- Dates are moderate sources of vitamin-A, which is known to have antioxidant properties and essential for vision. Additionally, it is also required to maintain healthy mucous membranes and skin.
If raspberries are very expensive in your area, you can use frozen raspberries or any other kind of berries you can find. If berries are expensive too, you can use any fruit you like because fruits are full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and they're good for your skin. You don't have to use dates to make this recipe, you can remove them or use any other natural sweetener instead.

I’m so happy to testify of the good work of Dr. Mandaker I Suffer from Herpes virus since 2019 and i had frequent symptoms in my private area, after some time it will go away after using acyclovir drugs, then come back after some months. It was disheartening since i have been diagnosed, but after finding Dr. Mandaker and his reviews i was convinced that he will definitely cure me and so i contacted and he told me how to get his medicine and using it for just 18 days and i went for check up and at first, i said how can that be possible but i used his herbal medicine after making purchase and truly i used it and went for the test again, and my result came back negative. So i made it a task to share this good testimony in the internet so that those sick can benefit and get cured. Also contact him for other kind of Ailments.... kindly check his website at holyaraminta.com contact him for all your spiritual problems today and be free

HI,
I am severely allergic to dairy, eggs, fish and nuts and have recently been experimenting with my milk and egg allergies. Recently, my skin has been breaking out ALOT. It never crossed my mind until now ! I was wondering how to avoid my skin breaking out in the future while still being able to experiment? Is that possible ?
Iosune says
Hi! I'm so sorry, but I can't help you, as I'm not a doctor. Following a healthy vegan diet is a great way to have a healthy skin, though 🙂

Useful Post!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe with your readers. I have been suffering from psoriasis for a very long time and so my skin always looks dull. I have tried a lot of alternatives but the results are not noticeable at all. I will surely try this smoothie and recommend it to my family and friends as well.

Hi is there anything I could use instead of raspberry? I live in Trinidad in the Caribbean and I don't see that in the groceries or markets in the area i live.
Iosune says
Hi Christal! Use any fruit you want, if it's red, purple or pink is better, but use whatever you've got on hand 🙂
Christine says
Hi Iosune, and thanks for sharing this great recipe. The pictures are beautiful by the way. Do you or your hubby do them? 😀

Is there anything you could substitute the banana with? I struggle with a great aversion to even the slightest taste of it ?

Erin says
This smoothie is delicious!!! This is only my second one for the week so I haven’t noticed if it’s helped my skin yet but the taste is fantastic, even my 8 year old loves it who wouldn’t eat any of the ingredients in it separately. Thanks for the post.
Iosune says
Thanks a lot Erin! I'm so glad your kid also likes it 😀 Have a nice day!

Just tried this recipe and it was sooo delicious! Definitely adding it to my favourites. Just didn't have the flax seeds so I skipped them. Less "super powers" but the taste was just as great. Thank you Iosune and Alberto! 🙂

Hi Klara! I'm glad you liked it! I usually make this smoothie without the flax seeds and it tastes amazing 🙂 Have a nice day!

Charlotte says
Hello. I love your site. I live in Spain but I can't find frozen fruit anywhere 🙁 I live in oviedo
Iosune says
Hi Charlotte! Thanks a lot 🙂 I always buy the frozen fruit at El Corte Inglés, you can find many kinds of berries.
Charlotte says
Thanks you so much. What blender do you use? I want to get a nutribullet but have read they don't deliver to Spain and don't want to get one from Amazon.
Iosune says
Hi Charlotte! I have a Vitamix blender, it's the best investment I've ever done! But if you live in Spain you have to buy it online. You can buy it here or here 🙂
