Strawberry Hemp Smoothie

This recipe is all about pampering our skin.

But not at the spa! Or with a fancy serum. We’re prettying up our skin with a special breakfast blend, a luscious Strawberry Hemp Smoothie.

Here’s the deal: strawberries are really high in vitamin C — in fact, one serving of about 8 berries has more vitamin C than an orange.

Vitamin C, of course, is really good for your immune system.

But here’s something you might not know: vitamin C is important for the repair of all tissues in the body, and it also supports collagen production in the skin. Collagen is the protein in our bodies that provides structure to the skin and other connective tissue. The problem, however, is that collagen production can decline as we get older. That’s when the fine lines and wrinkles start showing up.

Here’s the good news, though. Vitamin C from strawberries and other vitamin C-rich foods can help boost that collagen production, even as we age.

So get your glow on from within — and blend up this delicious strawberry smoothie for breakfast sometime soon. Cheers!
