This smoothie is great for the skin . . . and the whole self! Which makes sense, since the body, mind and spirit are really one sweet organism. Spinach offers iron and other micronutrients, banana is rich in potassium, rice milk contains manganese and selenium and cucumber is hydrating. Feel free to add some collagen if you find it works for you (the science on consuming collagen is still out, but some people swear by it—so just go with what feels right for you).
