In last week's blog, we gave you our five easy steps to clear, radiant skin:
1. Avoid skin aggravating foods
2. Maximise skin enhancing foods
3. A simple, effective skin care routine
4. Experiment with skin healing supplements
5. Try a juice cleanse
This week, we're dishing up a recipe for a yummy, skin-friendly smoothie to kick off your day.
Glowing skin smoothie:
- Almond, millet or brown rice milk
- ½ medium-sized banana
- Handful of mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 heaped tbsp of a superfood powder* of your choice
- 1 heaped tbsp of LSA (Linseed, Sunflower and Almond) powder
- Optional: Sun Warrior vegan protein powder
- Green superfood powder – we like Vital Greens
- Acai powder – we like Rio Life
- Raw cacao powder – we like Loving Earth
Smoothies are a great breakfast option for individuals prone to breakouts or skin irritations, and for people with weak digestion or digestive disorders – they deliver a burst of vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients in a form that is super easy for your body to break down (most of the work has already been done by the blender) and draw goodness from straight away.
Enjoy! xx

I bought a tub of vital greens recently but later realised the sweetener used in it is 'Sweetose' which I found out is a corn sweetener which is processed from HFCS... what are your views on it? I'd love to know if its ok because I spent over $100 on the tub so Im hoping it is!
It looks to me like there might be two different types of sweetose, a HFCS version and a 'natural' version (see http://www.bhw.net.au/___pdf/sweetose.pdf). I recommend you contact Vital Greens and ask them exactly what is in the supplement. I'd be surprised if it were HFCS, but you never know. Hopefully that helps. Emma
