I love smoothies!
I usually drink a smoothie in the morning for breakfast or after a workout.
Naturally, I always try to aim to make a healthy smoothie that’s good for my body, but also good for my skin since I am prone to acne.
Therefore, whether you want to drink green smoothies to help detox your body, clear your skin, or to lose weight, the three green smoothie recipes below can help!

Drinking smoothies definitely helped play a part in clearing up my acne; especially when I was starting to break out with cystic acne.
Consequently, one of the changes I did with my smoothies was eliminate dairy. That meant no more using milk or using yogurt.
Also, when I use a protein powder in my smoothies, I make sure to use one that is lactose-free.
The brand I used in my “3 Green Smoothie Recipes” video is from Isopure and it is low carb, keto friendly, vegan, gluten-free, and diary-free.

Of course, to clear my skin of cystic acne, I had to make changes to my diet overall, plus make changes to my skincare routine too.
Either way, drinking lactose-free smoothies really made a difference and I finally cleared my skin!
The following three green smoothie recipes used spinach as it’s base.
However, you can also use kale, green leaf lettuce, or romaine lettuce, in addition to using “green” fruits like cucumber, green apples, avocado, etc.
