In this case we propose a 2 in 1. They are recipes for antioxidant shakes that will give you a large amount of nutrients to delay the premature aging of your body day by day.

In addition, this same shake will allow you to apply a small amount on your face to take advantage of its preparation and achieve a smooth and luminous complexion thanks to the benefits of fruits.

Try it and you will see how in a few days your skin reflects this new and simple beauty routine.

Red fruits and chia seeds

Red fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries are a gastronomic delicacy and a gift for our health since, in addition to fighting against the aging of organs and tissues, they  also help us to take care of the urinary system and cardiovascular. Among all of them we highlight, in particular, the blueberry.

Chia seeds can be included in our antioxidant shakes thanks to their flavonoid content, which protect the body against the action of free radicals. In addition, they help fight constipation.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of red fruits (125 g)
• A tablespoon (8 gr) of chia seeds that we will put in a glass of water (200 ml) the night before.
• A little honey (optional).

Preparation

• The night before we will soak the chia seeds in a glass of water, which we will also use in our smoothie.
• In the blender glass we will add the red fruits, the chia seeds with water and, if we wish, a little honey to sweeten.
• We will process everything for a few seconds until we get a more or less homogeneous mixture.

Green tea and kiwi

This light and refreshing green smoothie combines the powerful antioxidant properties of green tea and kiwi.

Green tea is rich in different types of antioxidants that make it an essential drink to drink every day. In addition, being slightly stimulating, it will help us start the day with energy.

Kiwi is rich in vitamins C and E, two great antioxidants. In addition, it improves intestinal function naturally.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe kiwis.
• A green tea
• A little honey to sweeten (optional).

Preparation

• First we will prepare the tea. Bring a cup of water to a boil and add the green tea to make the decoction for 5 minutes.
• Next, we will peel the kiwis and take them to the blender glass.
• When the tea cools, we will add it to the kiwis and process both ingredients.

Apple and grape

Many juices already mix these two fruits because the result is a delicious flavor. However, our fresh and homemade shake will multiply its antioxidant benefits.

The apple contains flavonoids, quercetin and vitamin E, which fight the free radicals that cause us to age. We recommend consuming it with its peel, which is very rich in nutrients, as long as it is organic.

The antioxidant benefits of grapes are widely recognized and it is not essential to drink wine. We only have to use organic grapes with their seeds and their peeling so as not to waste any of their virtues.

Ingredients

• 1 apple of any variety (with its peel, if it is organic)
• A handful of grapes
• Half a glass of water (100 ml)
• A little honey (optional)

Preparation

• We will wash the apple well and, together with the grapes and half a glass of water, we will process it for a few minutes until we get a homogeneous smoothie.
• If we want to sweeten it we can add honey.

Carrot, papaya and orange

The last of our antioxidant shakes is orange in color and very rich in vitamin A. By taking this shake we protect visual health, as well as our skin, while when applied to the face we activate the production of melanin, which is why we enhance these properties to get a healthy and beautiful tan and prevent sunburn.

Papaya also allows us to take care of the entire digestive tract and prevent intestinal parasites, if we add some of its seeds.

If the orange is organic, we can add a small piece of its peel to multiply its vitamin C content and increase our body’s defenses.

Ingredients

• 1 carrot
• A slice of papaya (and about 10 seeds, if we wish)
• The juice of an orange (and a small piece of peel if it is organic)
• A little honey (optional)

Preparation

• We will peel the carrot and cut it into slices to facilitate the blending.
• We will cut a slice of papaya, and we will include some seeds.
• Next, we will obtain the orange juice and add all the ingredients to the blender.
• If we want, we can add a little honey and process for a few minutes until we get a homogeneous shake.
