Daylight hours are decreasing here in the U.S. Midwest and the humidity and temps are starting to drop. That means less time outdoors in the sunshine and saying hello to dry, dull skin.
My skin gets so dry each winter that a bucket of lotion a day wouldn’t fix the problem. This year, I’m tackling the problem from the inside out – making sure I stay hydrated and eating and drinking plenty of healthy fruits and veggies.
Let’s get that perfect glow together starting with this healthy and delicious Superfood Smoothie!

It’s important to lead a healthy lifestyle in addition to fueling yourself with superfoods. As much as I’d like to claim it, this superfood smoothie is not a miracle worker.
Keep your body active, minimize alcohol and processed foods, use natural skin care products, steer clear of sugary treats, eat organic when possible, manage your stress (yoga is a favorite of mine!), exfoliate your skin (I’ve been dry brushing lately and it’s fabulous!), get plenty of sleep, and eat a whole foods plant based diet as much as possible.
Starting your morning with this dairy free powerhouse of a smoothie will energize you and set the tone for the rest of your day. It can be made in just about 5 minutes and is easily portable.

I love clementines in smoothies! So good. They completely brighten up the flavor!

Totally refreshing!
Ginny McMeans
Sounds wonderful and that would also keep me filled up for a very long time!
Jenn S.
It is very filling! I’ve been doing thick, nutrient packed smoothies like this every day for the last month or so. I very rarely need a snack to get me through until lunch. Thanks, Ginny!

What a nutrient packed way to start the day! Such lovely ingredients. and such a pretty colour. It sound like it has great staying power with the avocado and the nuts too. That makes all the difference.
Jenn S.
Yes! Definitely a filling smoothie! Thanks, Mel!

Thanks, Linda! There is a bit of snow on the ground this morning, but I’m going to sit here and sip my gorgeous smoothie pretending I’m somewhere warm! 🙂
Mandy
WOW! This is packed with all sorts of healing ingredients! I love them all! The color is so pretty, too! I’ve added small amounts of smoothies back into my diet and I’m so happy – but with these cold temps, I’m sipping it while bundled up by the fire 🙂 I can’t wait to try this recipe.
P.S. – isn’t dry brushing amazing???
Jenn S.
I’m obsessed with dry brushing. I’ve been doing it every morning and night for the past month at least. My skin has never been smoother! Still waiting for it to work it’s magic on my cellulite though. LOL! Oh, how I wish we had a fire place!! I would likely never leave that spot! 🙂
