A Glow From Within: Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie Recipe

A Glow From Within: Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie Recipe

Curtis Bradshaw

Want radiant skin that glows from within? In addition to your daily skincare ritual, enhance your beauty and overall wellness by getting a daily dose of bioactive, fresh ingredients, and antioxidants in a nutrient packed smoothie. The transformative power of vitamin C is the not-so-secret weapon for achieving that coveted, lit-from-within glow.

Vitamin C is a radiant-skin superhero. It supports healthy aging by shielding from oxidative stress and environmental stressors. And, vitamin C is also a collagen-supporting super-star, promoting skin elasticity, firmness, and the appearance of a youthful complexion. 

As we age, collagen naturally decreases. That’s why we have vitamin C as one of the key complexion-brightening ingredients in our ultimate radiance-enhancing serum, Glow Serum. It’s blended with skin-smoothing Bakuchiol, an alternative to retinol; alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic and lactic acids that gently exfoliate the skin surface to reveal your natural radiance; and niacinamide to even out skin tone.

The glow-up you experience from including these nutrients in your daily ritual is a manifestation of your inner health and vitality. It's not just about looking radiant; it's about feeling radiant, too. From the inside out and outside in, a holistic approach is the key to radiant skin. To reap all the benefits of vitamin C, try Glow Serum in your morning ritual, followed by a nutrient-rich smoothie that gives skin a glow.

Here’s one of our favorite elixirs to brighten your day in the new year. Bright and tart, this is a healthier take on a nostalgic classic — the orange dreamsicle. The fresh orange has both vitamin C and glycolic acids, and the creamy yogurt has lactic acids to support a healthy gut. Bananas have niacin, which is a dietary supplement form of niacinamide, and the coconut cream is packed with emollient, skin-hydrating, botanical lipids. Cheers to your glow up!
