This green smoothie will help give your body a hit of nutrients and clear glowing skin.
Leafy greens are one of the best foods for your overall health as they are a powerhouse of nutrients, minerals and fibre. Some studies have concluded that they contain compounds that may help to protect from cancer, heart disease, diabetes and dementia.
Your skin often reflects your insides, so healthy glowing clear skin can reflect good internal health.
If you are suffering from breakouts try this juice every day for a 14 days and see how much better you look and feel.
Kiwi fruits are added for extra sweetness and also because they contain five times more vitamin C than oranges. Collagen is reliant on vitamin C and can help to give smooth skin and protect from sun damage.
Remember to peal the lime in order to have all the white pith, this contains many good things so it’s an important ingredient in a green smoothie. Citrus pith, such as lime, lemon, orange and grapefruit, contain hesperidin that studies have shown help to prevent osteoporosis. Also the pith contains d-limonene and this has been shown to help with indigestion, high cholesterol and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Hello, I tried this recipe, the taste is really good, my question is do you know an easier way to peel the lime as they are really hard to peel?
Thank you, I really like your website!
Kind Regards,

Yes you are right sometimes limes are hard to peel, when they are I slice the top and bottom off and then stand the lime and cut off just the green skin. I like to leave as much of the pith as possible as it has so much goodness. A bit of lime peel left on is also good to balance the flavour and give a slightly bitter taste.
