Recipe · Acne & post-pill acne
Summer green smoothie
By Naturopath Annabel Murray
With summer here, morning smoothies are in full swing! I’ve been using frozen cucumber and celery as the base – an alternative to frozen banana that’s lower in fructose, which may help sustain blood sugar levels through the day. Steadier blood sugar is also kinder to your skin.
Serves 1 · Prep 5 min
Ingredients
- Frozen cucumber and celery (as the base)
- A handful of blueberries
- Greens, like baby spinach or dandelion leaves
- 1 spoonful raw cacao
- Hemp seeds (a complete plant protein)
- ¼–½ avocado (for essential fatty acids and creaminess)
- Water
Method
- Add everything to a blender.
- Add water and blend until smooth.
- Sip in the sun!
annabel's tip
The cucumber has a neutral taste, so you can swap in any berries or greens you have on hand.
