A fresh summer-friendly smoothie with blueberries, spinach, chia and yogurt for a balanced beauty-from-within snack.

Best for: Skin Glow. Patch test topical recipes first and keep fresh mixtures clean.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 small handful baby spinach
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or kefir
- 1/2 cup cold water or milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed, optional
- 1–2 ice cubes, optional
Why these ingredients
Blueberries bring color and fiber, spinach blends softly, yogurt or kefir adds protein, and chia helps the smoothie feel more satisfying. This is food-first support, not a skin guarantee.
How to make and use it
- Add liquid and yogurt to the blender first.
- Add blueberries, spinach, chia and optional flaxseed.
- Blend 30–45 seconds until smooth.
- Rest 3 minutes if you like a thicker chia texture.

Timing and frequency
Best as a breakfast or afternoon snack. Drink after blending; refrigerate leftovers up to 12 hours and shake before serving.
