Banana Almond Flax Smoothie This healthy smoothie from Kelly Boyer, owner and Executive Chef of Paleta.com, is full of skin-loving plant-based proteins, potassium, calcium, fiber, and omega-3s. The essential fatty acids in the flaxseed oil have anti-inflammatory benefits, which is especially helpful for red, irritated, and puffy skin, says Koff.

Blend
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
2 tablespoons raw almond butter
1 small banana
1/2 cup organic apple juice
1 cup ice cubes

Been making smoothies since I was 14yrs old, these are nice combo ingredients, but for someone who's busy like me, I've tapered my smoothies down to 5 fast ingredients. You can buy pass and save A LOT of money and just buy chia seeds instead of fish oil, hemp & etc....it expands like tapioca and use fiber 1 cereal. Not to mention save a lot more money. Sugar free pudding thickens smoothies as well as give flavor. If you have the time to do this Great, but for a busy person like me, No way. I even take my own to the gym and shake it with my ingredients to drink at least 30 minutes after the gym.
