Pretty In Pink

The prettiest pink drink you ever did make!

Let’s breakdown the benefits of this beauty bowl!

STRAWBERRIES the ultimate skin food – 

• full of vitamin C which helps your body fight free-radicals that cause depletion of collagen, as well as fine lines in the skin #nothanks!
• high in Folic Acid, an important part of cell regeneration and production of new cells to keep you glowing! 
• Rich in ellagic acid, which has a photoreceptive effect to work against UV damage from things like being in the sun for long hours ultimately leading to wrinkles.  
• The acidic nature of strawberries helps give you clearer skin by allowing it to rid sebum (oil) which is responsible for things like acne and pimples. 

COCONUTS the uber beauty friendly food –  

• Raw coconut meat is a great source of an anti–microbial rich nutrient. Eating raw coconut reduces the severity of any bacterial or inflammatory skin condition like eczema or psoriasis. 
• Excellent moisturizer, helping to give you smooth and soft skin! 

AVOCADO… is there anything an avocado doesn’t do?! For now lets focus on what they provide for us in the beauty department –

• Full of fiber, great for digestive purposes.
• Source of healthy fats to in nutrient absorption aka, help all these wonderful vitamins, minerals and nutrients I spoke about above become bioavailable and ready to be used by your body when combined with avocado.
• High in biotin, a B vitamin, which helps keep your skin moisturized, nails strong and prevents your hair from becoming dry.
• The oil found in avocados contains sterolins, which are molecular structures within plant based oils that can help boost the body’s collagen production and treat age spots!

Along with all these skin foods, the protein powder helps support the growth of muscle to keep you strong, the cauliflower gives you a servings of fibrous vegetables and helps add nutrient density to the smoothie. last but not least the maca powder sends your hormones into overdrive keeping you feeling sexy and lustful!
