The Beauty-Fuel Smoothie

Try this gorgeous combo of vibrant ingredients for the ultimate beauty-fuel smoothie. Made with blueberries, beetroot and Proplenish Marine Collagen I like to call it the triple threat because it supports your liver, skin and gut health in one go! Purple foods are a brilliant source of anthocyanins, compounds that protect the skin from ageing and help the liver to detoxify. Add to that maca for hormone balance, turmeric for liver and digestion, good fats from coconut and seeds, probiotics from yogurt, marine collagen to prevent ageing and the ever versatile yet humble beet (which is another liver powerhouse), and you are literally ticking all the boxes to radiate health from within.

Makes 1 serve ( and you will be full for hours which is a good thing! My patients are never hungry!)
