The soft green smoothie that nourishes your skin from within
The soft green smoothie that nourishes your skin from within
Your skin is exposed to many different factors every day: sunlight, stress, hormonal fluctuations… But did you know that there is one substance that has a calming, restorative and protective effect on all these fronts?
I'm talking about Omega-3. It might not be new to you, but did you know it's actually essential? In our GLOmega-3, you'll find the purest form of omega-3: derived from algae. Not from fish, but from the algae that fish themselves eat to get their omega-3.
By going directly to the source, we avoid:
– pollution (such as heavy metals and microplastics),
– chemical purification (such as with fish oil),
– and we protect marine life from overfishing.
Why your skin (and hormones) will love this
Omega-3 penetrates deep into your skin cells. It's primarily about two fatty acids:
– DHA: helps build your cell membranes (the outer layer of your skin cells) and supports moisture balance
– EPA: protects collagen, has anti-inflammatory properties, and can help with acne, redness, and eczema
Together they provide:
- a better moisture balance
- a calmer, less sensitive skin
- more elasticity and glow
- protection against UV damage and premature skin aging
- support for keratosis pilaris (those red bumps on your arms)
And while we offer an ideal dosage in capsule form with GLOmega-3, not everyone is a fan of
taking pills. We understand. That's why we have an alternative that's just as effective and
much more enjoyable.
The omega-3 smoothie: drink to glow
You can simply cut open the GLOmega-3
capsules and add the oil to a smoothie. This recipe is perfect for that. Not only because it's delicious, but also because
the other ingredients supplement your omega-3 intake and nourish your skin from within.
Nutrition, care and self-care in one glass.
The recipe (for 1 large smoothie)
– ½ avocado
– 1 teaspoon linseed
– 1 teaspoon chia seeds (soaked)
– 1 frozen banana
– 1 handful of fresh spinach
– 1 handful of soaked walnuts
– 200 ml unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g. oat, almond or coconut)
– A dash of fresh lemon juice
– 2 GLOmega-3 capsules (cut open)
Here's how to make it:
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add a little more plant-based milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Serve immediately.
Why This Works (and Tastes Good)
This smoothie is:
– gentle on your digestion, thanks to the fibers and fats
– rich in plant-based omega-3, from linseed, chia and walnuts
– a source of antioxidants and vitamin C, which help protect your skin
– easily digestible and filling, so that your blood sugar levels remain stable
Enjoy!
Want something extra? Or don't have time to make a smoothie?
In our GLOmega-3, you'll find the purest form of Omega-3: derived from algae. Not from fish, but from the algae that fish themselves eat to obtain Omega-3.
By going directly to this source, we not only avoid pollution and chemical purification (as with fish oil), but we also protect the marine ecosystem (such as overfishing).
The GLOmega-3 is also good for:
– Helping to prevent hyperkeratinization of hair follicles (those red bumps on arms, for example)
– Due to its anti-inflammatory function it helps with acne and eczema
– Skin damage caused by the sun
– A good moisture balance in the skin
