5 Anti-Aging Smoothies To Make Your Skin Look Younger
What you eat matters to your health. And there are definitely certain foods that are age-defying by improving cell growth and preventing cell damage. I’m always looking for natural ways to be “wrinkle free” and protect my skin. Food is a great tool for this so I developed 5 anti-aging smoothies to make your skin look younger and glow.
The smoothies include anti-aging nutrients such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, Omega-3s, and Polyphenols. In addition to this quick list of 5 anti-aging smoothies to make your skin look younger, I compiled a whole bunch of smoothies into my latest book: 25 Anti-Aging Smoothies for Revitalizing, Glowing Skin
Get the book and start to make more smoothies to enhance your skin and rejuvenate your soul.
- Vitamin E helps the skin retain moisture and protects it from the harmful effects of free radicals.
Green Goddess Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup of tightly packed spinach (vitamin E)
1/2 ripe medium banana
2 Tablespoons avocado (peeled and pit removed) (vitamin E)
1 Tablespoon sunflower seeds (vitamin E)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (vitamin E)
Directions:
Put everything in a blender. Blend and pour.
*For another spinach-packed smoothie, enjoy Chocolate Peppermint Smoothie
- Vitamin C improves cell growth and one study even suggested a diet high in vitamin C can result in fewer wrinkles. Vitamin C also helps regenerate other vitamins in the body like Vitamin E.
Blueberry Breeze
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (vitamin C)
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (vitamin C)
1 cup coconut water
1 Tablespoon lemon juice (vitamin C)
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 handful of mint (leaves only) (vitamin C)
Directions:
Put everything in a blender. Blend and pour.
- Beta-Carotene, a carotenoid antioxidant, protects cells from damage and assists with better eyesight, too.
Carrot & Kale Power Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup kale (only take the leaf part and leave out the stem) (beta-carotene)
1 carrot (chopped) (beta-carotene)
1 green apple (core removed and chopped)
Lemon juice from 1 lemon or 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup coconut water
Directions:
Put everything in a blender. Blend and pour.
- Omega-3: As we age, our skin loses its moisture and elasticity which causes more wrinkles. Omega-3s have been found to provide the skin with more moisture by keeping the cells of the epidermis (our top layer of skin) plump and hydrated.
Tropical Chia Smoothie
Ingredients:
½ cup mango (sliced)
1 cup pineapple (sliced)
1 Tablespoon chia seeds (Omega-3)
1 cup coconut water
Directions:
Put everything in a blender. Blend and pour.
- Polyphenols from cacao are antioxidants that protect the body from oxidizing agents and can protect the skin and cells.
Cacao Banana Dream
Ingredients:
1 banana
6 strawberries
1 Tablespoon cacao powder (polyphenols)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions:
Put everything in a blender. Blend and pour.
Cheers to beautiful skin!

I think I might have my information in the wrong boxes. Sure hope u can read this. I try many smoothies and love them. They really give me a boost during this time I’m trying to be healthier. I’ll let you know more latter. Bye for now.
Thank you Margaret. Smoothies are fabulous and great for your skin and health. You’re on the right track!
How often do you drink these smoothies and do you rotate them or just pick one
I like to rotate my smoothies so I don’t get bored. To make my shopping list simple, I’ll make the same smoothie for 3 days in a row. After I’m done using up the ingredients, I’ll choose another smoothie and rotate it. I drink 1 smoothie a day on average. Sometimes 2 when I’m rushing around and don’t have time to cook a meal 🙂 Life gets busy!
