The color of this mango cardamom smoothie tells you everything you need to know. Glowing, bright, with a big dose of skin-friendly vitamin A. Smoothies cool us down in the heat and are the original “fast food.” Plus, spices like cardamom come with a slew of health benefits so your body will thank you as well.

MANGO CARDAMOM SMOOTHIE FOR GLOWING SKIN

Carrots add to the bright orange hue of this smoothie. Thanks to their mild flavor and subtle sweetness, adding carrots to your smoothie will give you the power of vegetables without the overpowering taste. Carrots are an excellent source of beta carotene (vitamin A), vitamin K, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants.

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen mango

2-3 large carrots

1 teaspoon cardamom (whole or ground)

1/4 cup raw cashews

1 cup nut milk of choice

2 scoops of Vanilla Daily Shake (or one Vanilla Cleanse Shake packet)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions: 

Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender (we recommend a vitamix or blendtec). Don’t worry if you don’t have a high-powered blender, just steam the carrots a little first so they break down easier in the blender.

Next, blend on high until creamy and smooth. Serve immediately.
