Berries are an important part of my everyday diet, and I notice the difference in my skin if I don’t eat them for a week or two. As one of the lowest-sugar types of fruit, berries also have one of the richest contents of antioxidants of all foods, which help to brighten your complexion. Chia seeds are one of my favourite sources of omega-3 fat for super-soft and healthy skin. I added in a handful of baby spinach for an extra dose of cleansing greens, energising iron and antioxidant vitamins A, C and E.
125ml chilled coconut water or normal water
1 handful of baby spinach
125g fresh or frozen blueberries
125g fresh raspberries
3–4 medium or large strawberries, hulled
2 tbsp whole chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract or powder 1 tsp fresh lime juice
2–3 ice cubes
1 Place all the ingredients in a blender, starting with the coconut water and spinach leaves, and combine until smooth.
2 Serve chilled. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days or frozen for up to three months.
