Home Health Skincare Giveaway + Coconut Smoothie Bowl

I am always on the hunt for new clean skincare. I partnered up with Home Health Skincare, an affordable vegan-friendly line to do a giveaway (see how to enter below). The company uses natural fragrance derived from natural sources such as botanicals, fruits, nuts, and trees.
I don’t like using anything with synthetic ingredients on myself or my family. 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup coconut milk beverage or preferred plant-based milk*

1 Tbsp. chia seeds

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1 Tbsp. MTC oil or coconut oil

1 tsp. maca powder, optional

1 scoop plant-based protein powder or collagen powder

1 frozen banana

1 date, optional

1 to 2 cubes of ice, optional

Garnish Options:

1 tsp. bee pollen

1/4 cup coconut flakes

1 tsp. cacao powder

1/4 cup granola

1/2 cup fresh seasonal fruit like berries, cherries, and or persimmons. Tropical fruit like starfruit, coconut, or dragon fruit.

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender. If you don’t have one, let the banana defrost a bit or freeze in slices.

2. Blend about 30 seconds on high or until blended.

3. Drink as a smoothie or pour into a large bowl and place into a refrigerator for one hour or overnight. Top with toppings of your choice.

Chef Carla Notes:

1. To make this smoothie green add one cup of packed greens such as swiss chard, baby spinach or kale. I like to freeze my greens.
2. Want a boost of caffeine? Add 1-2 tsp. matcha powder.

This recipe was inspired by Home Health Skincare’s Almond Glow oil. I like to pretend I am at a fancy spa (and not running my kiddos to preschool.) If you’re in a rush, there is a straight-up smoothie version you can make since I know what life is like on the go.

You can make this in under three minutes, including clean-up time.If you want to get fancy with your smoothie bowl, I give you plenty of garnish options. The fat in the recipe will keep you full and give you energy for the rest of your morning. Want to make this green? I give you options in the notes.

I love using Home Health Skincare’s Almond Glow Oil. It’s one the things I look forward to after a long day with my two toddlers.

I put it on right after I take a hot shower. You could also add the oil to a hot bath or use it straight-up. It’s not greasy, so it absorbs right into your skin. It’s perfect for dry winter skin, but I also love using it in the summer. My grandma has used oil after her shower for ages. It’s one of my best-kept beauty secrets that always reminds me of her.
