The Perfect Green Smoothie a la Cameron Diaz


Clean eating and healthy foods work wonders for our bodies from the inside, we all know that. Eating enough greens and veggies does not only play an important part in making us feel energized and well, but it will also do amazing things for our skin. I personally love a green smoothie every day to make sure I get enough of all those miracle nutrients that make my skin glow.

I came across this delicious recipe on The Body Book website and yes, it is as amazing as Cameron Diaz. It not only tastes delicious, but it is also perfect as a snack and packed pull of nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, several B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, iron, calcium, healthy fats, fiber, protein and antioxidants. It can't much better than that right?!


You can find the recipe here, but I have also featured it below. You're welcome!
