The Recipe for Glowing Skin:
- Quinoa: quinoa is a protein-rich grain that provides essential amino acids for skin cell repair and regeneration.
- Green Tea: infusing the quinoa with green tea adds a dose of polyphenols and catechins, powerful antioxidants known to reduce inflammation and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
- Sweet potatoes: packed with beta-carotene, sweet potatoes promote skin cell turnover and repair, contributing to a radiant complexion.
- Kale: kale is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C and K, which support collagen production and reduce dark circles under the eyes.
- Avocado slices: Loaded with healthy fats, avocados nourish the skin from within, providing hydration and reducing inflammation for a glowing complexion.
- Hemp seeds: hemp seeds are rich in essential fatty acids and protein, supporting skin health and providing a nutritional boost to the salad.
- Tahini dressing: tahini, made from sesame seeds, offers healthy fats and minerals like calcium and magnesium, promoting overall skin health and vitality.
