Ingredients:

1 cup of unsweetened coconut water or filtered water

½ avocado

½ green apple (add tart sweetness with our sugar spike)

Handful of spinach or kale

½ tsp of turmeric powder

Juice of ½ lemon

½ thumb side grated fresh ginger

1 Tbsp pumpkin seed or sunflower seeds

Small piece of peeled cucumber for hydration

Benefits:

Avocado – Vitamin B especially folate, Vit C, Vit K, potassium, magnesium, healthy fats.

Seeds – zinc, magnesium & Vit E

Green apple + lemon – support liver detox pathways that clear the skin

Turmeric + ginger – anti-inflammatory, reduce puffiness and redness

 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
