The creamy morning ritual that nourishes skin from within
Every morning begins the same way in our kitchen. Three glasses waiting patiently on the counter, and the familiar hum of the blender breaking the silence before the day properly begins. It is not glamorous, but it has become one of those small rituals that feels grounding. Less like a health decision, and more like a quiet act of care.
This smoothie is beautifully creamy, soft, and naturally sweet. The banana brings that familiar comfort, whilst the soya milk makes it silky and smooth without ever feeling heavy. The flaxseeds add richness without announcing themselves, and the supergreens bring a gentle freshness that makes you feel quietly virtuous before 8am.
It is wonderful for all ages, but especially helpful for my teenage daughter, whose hormones seem to have their own independent schedule. Giving her something nourishing each morning that supports her skin, energy, and balance feels like one small way to steady the ship.
No resistance, no negotiation. Just empty glasses and a small, undeserved sense of pride for whoever made them that morning.
As I shared in Skincare So Natural You’ll Want To Eat It: Feeding Your Skin From Within, skin reflects how we nourish ourselves consistently. This smoothie has quietly become part of that daily care for all of us.
It is simple, comforting, and far more powerful than it looks.
You’ll need:
Makes 3 smoothies
750ml unsweetened soya milk
2 small bananas, or 1½ large bananas
2 tablespoons flaxseeds, soaked overnight in 6 tablespoons of water
8 teaspoons Superfood Blend Supergreens
The night before, soak the flaxseeds by placing 2 tablespoons in a small bowl with 6 tablespoons of water. By morning, they will have absorbed the water and developed their gentle, nourishing texture.
In the morning, add the soaked flaxseeds along with their thickened liquid to your blender, followed by the soya milk, bananas, and supergreens. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately, ideally in that quiet moment before the day properly begins.
Why we love it, It is creamy, comforting, and naturally sweet, making it easy for the whole family to enjoy. Rich in plant nutrients, fibre, and essential fatty acids, it supports steady energy, wellbeing, and healthy skin from within.
A small daily ritual that cares for more than you realise.
