Skin Healing Frozen Blueberry Smoothie
This smoothie is packed with nutrients and anti-inflammatory coumponants. Drinking it regularly will help you to improve your gut and skin health.
Ingredients:
1 unripe banana (yellow with a bit of green)
3/4 cups of frozen blueberries
1-2 cups of water (depending on the consistency you like)
2 tablespoons of flaxseeds
1 teaspoon of milk thistle
1 tablespoon of raw honey (optional)
1 tablespoon of psyllium husk (a great source of fibre)
1 tablespoon of dried turmeric + pinch of black pepper
Directions:
Pop it all into your high-speed blender and enjoy as a very healthy drink or plate it up as a smoothie bowl. For this option simply decorate with other fruits, nuts, chia seeds and/or sugar-free, gluten-free granola!
SIDE NOTES:
Unripe bananas are a great source of resistant starch which feeds our good gut bacteria.
Freezing blueberries increases the concentration of anthocyanins, which are natural anti-inflammatory agents.
Raw honey (not pasteurised) is full of inflammation-fighting antioxidants and has anti-bacterial properties.
