My 48th birthday was a few weeks ago and if I’m being honest, I have really been thinking about aging! Some of it is vanity (without a doubt), but the wiser part of me knows it goes deeper than that. 

I want to feel good! 

I want to feel spacious in my body and have energy that lasts all day! 

I want to continue to ward off chronic disease, sickness, and inflammation! 

I want to feel radiant! 

I’m guessing that you want all of this as well, so today I’m sharing the green smoothie that I have been drinking on repeat. 

✨Radiance Green Smoothie ✨

Loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, enzymes, and other phytonutrients, this green smoothie delivers. It’s packed with mineral-rich dark leafy greens, detoxifying lemon and herbs, gut-soothing ginger, and vitamin-rich fruits. The result is an energizing green drink that will keep you surprisingly full without weighing you down. 

You may be wondering if you can add in chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, collagen, or protein powder to this one, and the answer is no. The magic of the beauty elixir lies in its simplicity, making it easy to digest, absorb, and assimilate. 

Good for reducing inflammation and puffiness, drink this every day for a week and watch what happens. When your friends say to you out of the blue, “What are you doing? You’re glowing!” You can tell them about your favorite new go-to green smoothie. 

There’s no doubt that what we eat and drink has an effect on how well we age and our outer beauty. But radiance…that’s a glow that comes from within and it’s possible at any age! 

Let’s age vibrantly together!
