BEAUTY BOOST
Bursting with antioxidants, this smoothie is created to provide your skin the dose it's been looking for! With this degree of free radical neutralising power, you can say goodbye to skin damage and hello to a glowing complexion. Did you know there is even evidence suggesting our body's production of antioxidants may decrease as we age? Our antioxidant rich spring smoothie recipe is sure to do the trick! Antioxidants help to destroy free radicals in our body which are unstable compounds. Through reactions in the body, they can transfer electrons and leave behind new free radicals. They come from the suns UV rays, cigarette smoke, pollution, our own normal metabolism and toxins presents in pesticides and other household chemicals. They damage cell function and its integrity which in turn leads to sagging, wrinkled skin, blemishes and a dull complexion. Antioxidants can help combat the damage by neutralising free radicals and stop them from damaging our skin! It's like your very own anti-aging cream working inside your body. With ingredients bursting with antioxidants, such as cherries, spinach and cacao, this smoothie will leave you feeling young and energised, while helping to sustain bright, smooth skin.
