Edible Skin Care Recipes, Part II

Writer's picture: Stephanie TourlesStephanie Tourles


This is another of my skin-beautifying formulas that I consume on a regular basis. I refer to the following recipe as my "anti-stress breakfast boost" formula. It's loaded with complexion-enhancing, stress-reducing B vitamins, plus vitamin E, calcium, potassium, zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese, fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. It is also chock-full of healthy, skin-softening fats. I love the taste, but if you're not crazy about brewer's yeast, the flavor will take a bit of getting used to. SKIN SO SMOOTHIE Ingredients: 1 frozen banana or 1 cup frozen strawberries 2 cups raw cow or goat milk, or fortified soy or almond milk 1 tablespoon brewer's yeast 2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses 2 teaspoons raw sunflower seeds 1 teaspoon raw sesame seeds 10 raw almonds 1/4 cup raw oat flakes or cooked oatmeal 2 teaspoons raw honey 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2-3 ice cubes (optional - makes a nice thick, frosty drink) To Make: Combine all ingredients in blender and whiz on high until smooth for about 30-60 seconds total. To Use: I usually consume the entire batch throughout the morning hours, taking sips between my work projects. Alternatively, pour half of the recipe into a mug, cover, and refrigerate the rest until later in the day. Yield: Makes approximately two, 1 1/2 cup servings or 1 large meal.
