Prep it the night before and it's ready the moment you wake up, no effort required. Every single ingredient in this recipe is doing something beautiful for your skin. Chia seeds are a great plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids which help reduce inflammation, support your skin's moisture barrier, and keep it looking plump and healthy. Avocado brings vitamin E and healthy monounsaturated fats - both essential for skin elasticity and protecting against the kind of oxidative stress that accelerates ageing. Matcha is rich in antioxidants called catechins that help protect skin cells from damage, and gives you a calm, steady energy without the coffee jitters, and the manuka honey has natural antibacterial properties and gut supporting benefits. Your skin will thank you for this!
Ingredients:
Method:
Add the plant-based milk, matcha powder, avocado, protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Pour over the chia seeds in a jar or bowl and stir well to combine.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
In the morning, stir well and top with your choice of berries, desiccated coconut, or cacao nibs. Enjoy cold.
Okay, I’m definitely making this! I love smoothing with ingredients for glowy skin but this is such a good idea.
