Glowing Skin Smoothie Recipe to Tap Your Inner Radiance

With the right blend of fruits, veggies, and skin-loving nutrients, you can make your complexion radiant without an overnight face mask. I spoke to Shape for this piece about how to get that glow you’re after by focusing on what you’re putting in your body, not just what you’re putting on it.

Research shows that what you put in your body affects the appearance and health of your skin, says Maya Feller, R.D., a dietitian in New York. And you don’t need to prepare a full-fledged, nutritious meal to see these positive changes, either.

“Making a beverage that combines different types of healthy ingredients enables those foods to work in conjunction, so you get their benefits most effectively,” says Feller. “Plus, drinks are more rapidly absorbed than whole foods.”
