Regardless of what modern advertising tries to tell you, your skin and nails must be nourished from the inside out! Green Smoothies are the ticket to the skin and nails that you have always wanted. The vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that they contain are what feed your skin to keep it glowing and healthy, and fight off the effects of aging. 

No amount of goopy globs of stuff from tubes and bottles will give you the skin that Green Smoothies can!

Don’t get me wrong, we all know that proper hygiene is also necessary for healthy skin, and to prevent environmental toxins from entering the body through the skin. However, a gentle soap and warm water will take care of this.

The skin also needs lots of hydration, meaning water, and our Green Smoothies all have water plus water fruits for effective and long lasting hydration. Sure, you still need to drink as much water as possible, too. 

Your nails are mostly protein, and the building blocks for protein are amino acids. Green Smoothies have these in abundance. When nails do not get enough protein, they can become thin, chip and tear easily, or just refuse to grow. Green being the keyword here, your dark leafy greens, such as spinach and kale have high volumes of both protein and the amino acids to process them. Healthy beautiful nails are a Green Smoothie a day away!

If you are really serious about improving your skin and nails, there are a few things that you need to give up or stay away from. These include alcohol, excessive caffeine and smoking. All of these cause dehydration, and no amount of water or nutrition, will overcome them.

So, let’s whip out the old blender, and try some of these 10 new recipes targeted for the best skin and nails of your life!
