Beauty Smoothie Recipe: Frozen Berries & Pine Pollen

26th Apr 2017

When you nourish your body with the right vitamins and minerals, not only will you feel better but you’ll also encourage glowing skin, healthy hair and strong nails.

This delicious vegan smoothie is packed full of beauty-boosting fruits, veg, and seeds, plus a special superfood powder. Broccoli contains skin-loving glaucophane, beta carotene and Vitamin E, spinach is rich in antioxidants, while pumpkin seeds contain an arsenal of anti-aging goodies. Pineapple helps to reduce skin inflammation, and frozen berries are high in Vitamin C.

It also contains pine pollen, which are the nutrient-dense gold male spores released by pine trees. Pine pollen encourages the skin to produce more elastin and collagen, which makes it appear firmer and younger.

  • 1 Small floret of broccoli
  • 1 handful of spinach
  • 1/2 cup of frozen mixed berries
  • 1/2 cup of pineapple
  • 1 1/2 cups of almond milk
  • 3 pitted dates (optional for sweetness)
