Collagen and elastin work together to promote supple, plump, and glowing skin. Collagen builds structure in the skin, while elastin allows for increased flexibility. Both proteins decrease with age, stress, and exposure to environmental toxins. Adding them to the diet using Body Kitchen supplements helps to replenish and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out.
Both collagen and elastin are easy to incorporate into smoothies, such as this delicious chocolate peanut butter version. Try it for breakfast, after a workout, or as an afternoon snack. The only sweetener in this smoothie is banana, but for a sweeter version, feel free to add a little honey or maple syrup.
