1. The Glow Bowl ✨
For radiant, hydrated skin
Ingredients:
-
1 frozen banana
-
½ cup frozen mango
-
½ cup frozen pineapple
-
½ cup coconut water or almond milk
-
1 tbsp chia seeds

1 scoop collagen/protein powder (optional, plant or marine-based)
-
Juice of ½ a lime
Optional toppings:
-
Sliced kiwi, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, edible flowers
Why it’s good for you:

Chia seeds add omega-3s and fibre keeping things moving and glowing.
Swap suggestions:
- No mango? Use papaya or more banana.

Granola, pumpkin seeds, fresh blueberries, drizzle of almond butter
Why it’s good for you:

1 tbsp hemp seeds (protein + omega-3s)
Optional toppings:

Pinch of sea salt
Optional toppings:
