Watermelon: watermelon contains only 6% sugar and 92% water, ideal for rehydrating during hot summers. Watermelon extract can often be found in beauty-enhancing products such as shower gels, lip glosses, and even some topical creams due to its hydrating properties. It contains a number of important nutrients such as Vitamin A, B6 and C. Watermelon is also packed with lycopene (which gives it a bright color) and amino acids. The combination of all these nutrients support healthy skin while contributing to a strong a steady immune system.
Berries: it is no secret that berries are an excellent choice when it comes to a youthful appearance. Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc) are packed with powerful antioxidants that have the capacity to fight free radicals – beauty’s biggest enemy. Free radicals, when unattended, can quickly harm skin-cells that result in unwanted visuals such as dry and/or saggy skin. Berries are a ticket to young looking skin!
Coconut water/milk: coconut water is highly beneficial for different reasons. Not only supports strengthening the immune system but it can also act as a skin toner. The amino-acid complex in coconut water can also do some magic on hair, leaving an extra shine and softness due to its hydration properties. Coconut water/milk are also great options for a post-workout smoothie as they aid in muscle recovery and lactic acid build-up.
Honey: famous for its exfoliating properties, honey can act as a “skin cleanser”. We often find honey being added to all sorts of beautifying-products. Honey has the ability to repair damaged cells and support the restoration of healthy-looking skin. Not to mention the extra natural energy boost that you may experience when adding this power-nutrient to your smoothie.
Youthful Beauty Powder: 10g of high-grade collagen protein. Body Kitchen’s collagen powder is an excellent choice to pack your smoothie with pure hydrolyzed-protein without altering the smoothie’s tasty flavor. Body Kitchen has developed a patented collagen that’s clinically proven to be 30X more effective than any conventional collagen. 10g of this miracle-protein will nourish your body from skin to joints as well as help you improve muscle-tone due to its highly concentrated peptides.
Collagen is one of those real workhorse supplements that’s great for just about every part of your body. It’s famous for keeping your skin supple and young-looking, but collagen has all kinds of other benefits too. Athletes and fitness fans take collagen to keep their joints in great shape. Others take collagen to improve their digestion and gut health, while beauty-conscious collagen fans sweat by its ability to keep their nails strong and their hair lustrous.
Getting your daily dose of collage has never been easier with Body Kitchen’s Youthful Beauty Powder.
