- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds (or whole flaxseeds if you have a blender that can process them)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup spinach (rich in vitamins that support healthy skin)
- 1/2 banana (for natural sweetness and potassium)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added sweetness and its antibacterial properties)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (helps regulate blood sugar levels and adds flavor)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a cooler smoothie)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Flaxseeds:
- If you have whole flaxseeds, grind them in a blender or spice grinder. Ground flaxseeds are easier for the body to digest and absorb nutrients from.
-
Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender, add the almond milk, spinach, banana, honey, flaxseeds, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth.
-
Adjust Consistency:
- If you like your smoothie thicker, add more banana or ice. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more almond milk.
-
Serve Immediately:
- Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy! The smoothie is rich in nutrients that promote collagen production and support skin elasticity.
