This Blemish Blast Blueberry Smoothie is packed with antioxidant- and nutrient-rich ingredients that provide anti-inflammatory benefits to help reduce blemishes.

Blemish Blast Blueberry Smoothie Ingredients

Here is a breakdown of how the blemish blast blueberry smoothie ingredients support clear skin:

  • Blueberries: Blueberries are rich in antioxidants that protect your body from free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage your cells and contribute to acne, inflammation, aging, and chronic disease. (1, 2, 3)
  • Pumpkin Seed Protein: My favorite protein powder for a source of clean plant protein. It is made simply from powdered pumpkin seeds, not an isolate, and is a beautiful vibrant green instead of a dusty brown. It also contains various minerals including zinc, which is a critical nutrient for clear skin and a common deficiency amongst acne patients. Use code Maria20 for 20% off.
  • Flaxseed: Fiber-rich flaxseed is also a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Omega-3 rich foods can help reduce the size and redness of pimples and speed the rate at which wounds heal. (4)
  • Hemp seed: Hemp seeds are an excellent source of easy-to-digest plant protein. They also provide fiber and omega-3s, as well as a variety of phytonutrients. (5, 6)
  • Chia seeds: Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, providing a whopping 10g of fiber per ounce. Fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar, which is key to maintaining blemish-free skin. They’re also rich in antioxidants and omega-3. (7, 8)
  • Banana: rich in fiber and powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals. (9, 10)

This vegan feta cheese recipe tastes just like feta cheese and is perfect on top of a Greek salad. It’s made with 4 simple ingredients and requires minimal effort to make.

Simply press the excess water out of extra-firm tofu, cube it, marinate it, and it’s done. How easy is that?

Vegan Feta Ingredients

  • Tofu: Extra-firm tofu gives us a feta cheese texture with minimal effort. Simply dice and marinate. Even better, if you can find it, use fermented tofu (which is even firmer and my personal favorite). When buying tofu, always choose organic tofu to avoid GMOs.
  • Lemon Juice: Lemon juice provides the tang that is characteristic of fermented foods like cheese. It also provides a Vitamin C boost and a plethora of phytonutrients and antioxidants which support clear, glowing skin from within.
  • Oregano: Oregano does more than give this tofu flavor. It’s a surprisingly antioxidant-rich spice that has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Just a pinch packs a punch.

Instructions

  • First, press the tofu: Lay out a clean kitchen towel, wrap up tofu in it and put a heavy book on top for 30 minutes.*
  • Next, combine lemon juice, oregano, and salt in a shallow container and mix well.
  • Once the tofu is done being pressed, slice it into cube-sized pieces and add to the container with marinade. Then close the container with a lid, shake it up and let it sit for at least an hour. The longer, the better.
  • Serve over greek salad or any salad of choice.

Recipe Notes

* This step is key to press out excess water so the tofu absorbs the maximum amount of the marinade.

Why dairy-free vegan feta cheese?

Because of a wealth of data, it is widely acknowledged that dairy consumption is associated with acne. So, this dairy-free alternative is a delicious choice that gives you the taste of feta, without the risk of a dairy-related breakout.

This tasty fresh Lemon, Ginger Mint Tea supports clear skin, better digestion, and immune health.

Benefits Of Lemon Ginger Mint Tea

  • Lemon: adds a boost of Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that aids in wound healing and collagen synthesis. (3)   
  • Ginger: provides anti-inflammatory benefits to help bring down bumps and redness. (4)

Matcha tea offers a plethora of benefits, but if I’m honest with you, it tastes a little too much like grass to me. While I can’t get it down as a hot tea, I do love it as an iced coconut matcha latte. I can drink one every day! [Read more…] about Iced Coconut Matcha Latte

I love to spice up cauliflower rice with lots of color and flavor. That’s exactly what you get with this Golden Spring Cauliflower Rice recipe.

The golden color comes from turmeric, and the flavor comes from diced onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and parsley.

While cauliflower doesn’t have to be organic, choosing organic is the ideal choice, as you not only reduce or limit your exposure to pesticides but our environment as well. You can find it at your local grocer or farmers market, or get it shipped straight to your door by grocery shopping online, for example via Amazon Fresh.

To save time with this golden cauliflower rice recipe, buy riced cauliflower. It’s available in the frozen section of most health food stores (and even mainstream ones). You can sometimes find it in the fresh produce section, too. Conversely, you can “rice” cauliflower by putting cauliflower florets in a food processor or blender and pulsing until it’s chopped into rice-like pieces. I prefer frozen as it’s quick, easy, and less clean up. But if it’s not available, I’ll make it from scratch.

Instructions

  • Heat a medium pan over medium heat.
  • Add oil. Reduce heat to low, then add onions, and stir occasionally for 30 seconds before adding garlic, turmeric, and cumin. Stir well, and give it another 30 seconds or so, until fragrant.
  • Next, stir in the carrots and celery. Cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the cover and stir in the cauliflower rice. Do not recover. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes, until cauliflower is yellow from the turmeric and soft. Turn off the heat. Stir in parsley and salt to taste.

Recipe Notes

This saves well in an air-tight glass container and can be reheated throughout the week.
