Ingredients:

¾ cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk

½ cup of frozen blueberries (low sugar, high anthocyanins)

½ cup of copped zucchini (adds fibre, no flavour)

½ tsp turmeric powder

¼ tsp fresh grated ginger or powder

1 Tbsp of hemp seeds or almonds

½ scoop plant protein powder (vanilla works well too)

Handful of spinach leave for extra nutrients

Benefits:

Blueberries protect collagen from oxidative stress

Turmeric + ginger calm inflammation and redness (inside out)

Hemp seeds add omega-3 and GLA fatty acids that repair the skin barrier

 Tips for skin & cortisol balance:

• Always pair antioxidants (berries, turmeric) with protein or fats (nuts seeds, collagen, avocado) – to keep blood sugar and cortisol steady
• Avoid fruit only smoothies – they spike insulin, leading to collagen breakdown and breakouts
• Drink mid- morning or afternoon (not late at night) for best cortisol rhythm
