How Does This Superfood Smoothie Work?
Cranberries:
Vitamin C, Antioxidants, and Fiber
The star of this smoothie! A skin-saving powerhouse, cranberries are amazing at banishing toxins from your system - and your skin.
Apples
Vitamin A, Fiber, Calcium
Apples are great at reducing inflammation, balancing-blood sugar, and cleansing your intestinal tracts. When used on skin, apples gently exfoliate, increase collagen, and soothe irritation.
Chia Seeds
Omega-3, Minerals, Protein
A healthy dose of hydration, chia seeds are a strong support for your overall health. Internally, they boost your metabolism, clear your gut, and benefit heart-health. Topically, they protect against free-radicals, balance oils, and leave you glowing!
