Banana Spinach Smoothie

Banana Spinach Smoothie


Bananas are rich in potassium and Vitamin C and are known to improve digestion, allowing the body to break down food and rid the body of stomach problems. Bananas will improve skin texture and help in making your skin pimple-free! Raw almond butter contains a high level of Vitamin E. Vitamin E is known to repair skin from sun damage, scarring from acne, and also will aid in minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. The antioxidants in almonds also help fight off free radicals, fighting bacteria that cause acne. The oil in almond butter will also  hydrate dry skin and make hair look shinier and healthier. It’s good oil so don’t be scared of it! Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and will help regulate the body’s oil production, in turn reducing oils that surface on the skin which in turn reduce clogged pores and breakouts. Organic apple juice contains a large amount of vitamins and minerals. Apples contain a high level of glycolic acid and will help minimize scarring from acne, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and removes cellular build-up from the skin, stopping oils and bacteria from getting trapped under the skin’s surface.banana smoothies
