The days of more sun and more heat are arriving and it is essential that we prepare our skin in order to face the summer and the high temperatures. Offering an extra of vitamins and antioxidants through rich smoothies of fruits, vegetables, and seeds can be a great idea. In addition, these homemade shakes will provide fiber, satiety and flavor to our diet.
We just need a good mixer, a very large basket to bring a lot of vegetables and fruits from the market and no more than five minutes to prepare any of these tasty smoothies. We give you up to eleven different alternatives!
Smoothie full of beta-carotene
To prepare this smoothie we will need a few peeled carrots, half an orange, half a lemon and an apple. Carrot beta-carotenes are transformed into vitamin A in our body, essential for healthy skin.
Smoothie with tomato
The tomato is less frequent as an ingredient of smoothies, however this fruit makes a great contribution of antioxidants, perfect to take care of our skin. To prepare this smoothie you will only need two tomatoes, a splash of lemon and some mint leaves to decorate.
Green smoothie with banana
We can also find antioxidants in green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, and in vegetables such as broccoli. Prepare a healthy smoothie by integrating broccoli, pineapple, banana and spinach. You can add water until you find the perfect texture.
Smoothie with currants
The red fruits and the fruits of the forest are another food where we can find a large amount of antioxidants. To prepare a rich currant smoothie, first freeze a handful of these fruits, as well as blueberries. Pass them later by the blender and add a ripe banana and a natural yogurt.
Simple carrot smoothie
Another carrot smoothie, very simple to prepare, is the one we can make with the carrots peeled and passed through the blender, chopped mint and half a lime. For the base we can use water or a little carrot juice if we have it on hand, as well as a spoonful of honey to sweeten.
Green tea smoothie
The green tea is another potent antioxidants that have at our disposal and we can not ignore. To get this smoothie, prepare green tea first and let it cool. Then put it in the blender together with a ripe banana (to give sweetness) and a handful of frozen blueberries.
Smoothie of berries and chia seeds
The Omega 3 of the chia seeds helps us maintain a hydrated and shiny skin, a benefit that we can add to the antioxidants provided by the fruits of the forest. Remember to soak the chia seeds the night before to crush them well in the blender and add a base of natural yogurt.
Smoothie of banana, broccoli and grapes
The grapes also have a large amount of antioxidants that help protect our skin and prepare it for summer, and enhance its effect along with broccoli. This smoothie also has a ripe banana and some almond milk (it controls that it does not have much sugar in its composition) as a base.
Papaya smoothie
Another well-loaded food of beta-carotene is papaya, from which we can use both the pulp and the seeds inside if we pass them through the blender. To make this smoothie we include half a papaya, a spoonful of coconut oil and a little honey to sweeten.
Smoothie of berries and cabbage kale
The famous cabbage kale or kale, so fashionable lately, is also a good source of vitamins and antioxidants for our body. We can combine it in a smoothie with frozen fruits of the forest, a handful of flax seeds and a base of natural yogurt.
Pumpkin smoothie
Also the pumpkin, as indicated by its orange color, contains a good dose of beta-carotene. We can combine it in a smoothie with pieces of chopped pineapple, an apple without skin and a base of natural yogurt that we will add until we find the texture we want. We can decorate it with some chopped nuts.
