Dream Skin Smoothie

2-4 servings

The Dream Skin Smoothie is a simple yet powerful addition to your skincare routine. This vibrant green smoothie is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.

This recipe follows the framework popularized by Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie, adapted into a skin-supportive version focused on ingredients traditionally associated with vitamin A, vitamin C, and digestive support.

My clients and I love starting the day with this smoothie and often notice improvements in skin complexion and irritation over time. 

This recipe makes a generous serving and works best with a high-powered blender. I personally use a Vitamix, but if your blender is less powerful, you can blend the ingredients in smaller batches for a smoother consistency.

The Dream Skin Smoothie stores well in the refrigerator, making it perfect for meal prep. I like to make a larger batch and keep it in mason jars for the next few days.

Ingredients

Greens Base:

4 cups kale

4 cups baby spinach

2 stalks celery

Antioxidant Base:

1 apple, cored and chopped

½ cup mango (fresh or frozen)

1 banana

½ lemon, peeled

Hydration Base:

2 cups water

Optional Variation: Digestive Support Blend

½ tsp grated ginger

(Optional swap) pineapple instead of mango for a lighter, digestive-friendly profile

Directions: 

Add your water to the blender first, followed by the greens and celery. Blend until completely smooth. Next, add your fruits, and blend again until well combined.

Pour into a 24 oz glass and enjoy immediately. Store any remaining smoothie in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to several days.

Note: 

This recipe is designed to be versatile, simple, and easy to adapt to your preferences. Feel free to rotate your greens based on what you have on hand. Kale, spinach, and lettuce all work beautifully in this smoothie. 

The mango can also be substituted with seasonal fruits such as pineapple, pears or papaya. Using a variety of fruits and vegetables throughout the year can help keep the recipe enjoyable while adding diversity to your diet.

The Dream Skin Smoothie is intended to be enjoyed year-round. Rotating ingredients with the seasons keeps the recipe fresh, exciting, and sustainable as part of your long-term wellness routine. Seasonal variations are available, but the structure is the same.
