OAT AVOCADO CLEAR SKIN SMOOTHIE RECIPE
Treat your skin from the inside out with this oat and avocado clear skin smoothie recipe.
Avocado is one of our favorite beauty foods, full of healthy fats and also Vitamin E.
Coconut water will keep you and your skin hydrated, while the chia or flax seeds also provide anti-inflammatory omega-3s which help promote better sleep – another skin and beauty must!
If you have been using collagen or other protein powder, this is a great smoothie to add it to!
The oats, chia, banana, and avocado give this smoothie a thick creamy texture.
It’s high in protein and fiber which make it very filling and perfect for a meal replacement breakfast or post-workout.
This clear skin smoothie recipe is a sweet and tasty way to add oats to a smoothie.
Great on its own, we also like to mix it up the flavor with with pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, or cinnamon.
A good power blender can easily blend up these ingredients, however if using a “regular” blender be sure to chop the dates very small, soak them and use more liquid.
