This is a deliciously cool and creamy smoothie filled with healthy fats, antioxidant vitamins and beauty minerals for a glowing complexion. Mango is one of my favourite fruits for bright and healthy skin, as it’s a super source of beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body with the help of a little dietary fat. Vitamin A is then used to repair damaged skin cells.

125ml low-fat coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk

1 large handful of baby spinach

1 small handful of fresh mint leaves

½ ripe mango, peeled, cut into chunks and frozen for 2 hours

juice of ½ lime

1 tbsp raw cashew nuts

1 tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut, plus extra to serve

2–3 ice cubes

1 Place all the ingredients in a blender, beginning with the milk, and combine until smooth and creamy.

2 Sprinkle with desiccated coconut and serve chilled. Any leftovers should stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, but this smoothie is best enjoyed as soon as possible after making it.
