Hello my Real Beauties,

You know I love anything that helps us glow from the inside out – and this smoothie? It's a game-changer. I've been making this most mornings and trust me, it's not just delicious – it's packed with skin-loving, hormone-balancing goodness too.

Whether you're heading into a busy day or just want to feel your best, this skin-glowing smoothie is the perfect place to start. It's filled with powerful nutritious ingredients like Acai powder, banana, Greek yoghurt and pumpkin seeds – all known to support healthy hormones and help your skin stay clear, hydrated, and radiant.

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 Banana – Full of potassium and vitamin B6 for energy and skin support.
• 1 Cup Greek Yoghurt – A great source of protein and probiotics to keep your gut happy (hello, balanced hormones and clear skin).
• 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Seeds – Rich in zinc and magnesium, which support hormone regulation and skin repair.
• 3 Medjool Dates – Naturally sweet and full of fibre, vitamin B, and magnesium.
• 1 Cup Coconut Milk – A dairy-free hydrator packed with healthy fats to support supple, elastic skin.
• 1 Heaped Teaspoon Acai Powder – Antioxidant-rich and fibre-packed, Acai is known to promote glowing skin and help reduce inflammation.
• 1 Heaped Teaspoon Cacao Powder – A natural mood-booster, high in antioxidants, and great for circulation (and that post-blend glow).
• Optional: Chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fibre and healthy fats.

Let's blend:

1. Pop all your ingredients into a blender – banana, yoghurt, seeds, dates, powders, and milk.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more coconut milk if you like a thinner consistency.
3. Pour into a glass, top with a few pumpkin seeds or a sprinkle of chia if you're feeling fancy.
4. Sip and enjoy the glow!

Why your skin (and hormones) will thank you

Hormone support

• Pumpkin seeds and Acai are rich in minerals that help regulate hormones.
• Greek yoghurt supports your gut – and a healthy gut = happy hormones.

Glow-getting benefits

• Coconut milk and banana hydrate your skin from within.
• Cacao is loaded with antioxidants that help skin stay smooth and youthful.
• Chia or flax seeds give an extra boost of omega-3s for plumper, calmer skin.

Final thoughts from me

This smoothie is a staple in my morning routine – quick to make, genuinely delicious, and packed with everything your skin needs to feel fresh and radiant. It's the perfect partner to your skincare – because glow truly starts within.

Give it a try this week and let me know what you think.
