Did you know that a berry banana smoothie is really great for your skin?

Berries are full of antioxidants and vitamin C which help protect skin from free radicals which can cause skin cancer. Vitamin C also increases elastin and collagen and keeps your skin hydrated.

Blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries contain fatty acids that can improve the smoothness of your skin and decrease inflammation. And bananas have vitamins A, C, and E, which heal and protect skin and slow the aging process.

You know what they say – a berry smoothie a day will keep the dermatologist away! (Is that a saying? No? Well, it really should be).

You need to make this smoothie – it tastes amazing and is so good for you! If you don’t need to be dairy free, you can use regular milk or water if you prefer.

    I am SO ready for berries to come into season. Ontario strawberries are the best and I am going to gorge on them once they appear at the farmers markets. This smoothie sounds delicious- just my kinda thing! My favourite way to enjoy berries is probably dipped in dark chocolate. You can’t go wrong with that!
