Strawberry Glow Skincare Smoothie
The Method
This Strawberry Glow Skincare Smoothie tastes incredibly indulgent—think "strawberries and cream" milkshake—but it is actually a carefully calibrated tool for your complexion. The frozen strawberries provide a frosty, sweet base, while the avocado creates a silky, creamy texture without any dairy. It is satisfying enough for breakfast but sweet enough to cure a sugar craving.
Why Your Gut Needs It:
We call this the "Skin-Gut Axis" in a glass. We have stacked specific nutrients to support glow from within: Vitamin C is essential for normal collagen formation and skin brightness; L-Glutamine helps support the integrity of the gut lining; Hyaluronic Acid aids in cellular hydration; Zinc supports the maintenance of normal skin; and Prebiotics feed your microbiome. It is a full-spectrum approach to beauty.
- Prep the Base: Remove the stones from the Medjool dates. If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes to soften them up.
- Load the Blender: Pour the unsweetened almond milk into your blender jug first (liquids first helps the blades run smoothly). Add the frozen strawberries, the quarter avocado, the pitted dates, and the maple syrup.
- Add the "Glow Complex": Add your scoop of Vanilla Collagen Creamer. Next, add your specific skin-supporting supplements: Vitamin C, L-Glutamine, Hyaluronic Acid, Zinc, and Prebiotics. Important: Please follow the specific serving size instructions printed on each of your supplement packages to ensure you are getting the correct amount.
- Blend: Blitz on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. The frozen berries should make it thick and frosty.
- Serve: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately.
Steph's Tip: This smoothie is naturally quite sweet thanks to the dates and strawberries. I recommend tasting it before adding the maple syrup—you might find you don't need the extra sweetener!
