Clear Skin Smoothie

This Clear Skin Smoothie became a daily ritual when my skin was rebelling against me. If you’ve ever stared at your skin wondering what happened overnight (again), you’re not alone. I’ve been there—with hormonal acne, dullness, and those mysterious splotches on my arms that even my dermatologist couldn’t explain. After years of testing every product under the sun, I finally realized the answer wasn’t in a bottle—it was in my blender.

Clear Skin Smoothie Ingredients

This isn’t just a green smoothie—it’s a skin glow smoothie powered by nutrient-dense, plant-based ingredients that help your skin detox, de-puff, and glow like you just walked out of a facial. It’s a great smoothie for clear skin because it’s hydrating, anti-inflammatory, full of antioxidants, easy to digest, naturally sweet and refreshing

Here’s what makes this smoothie for acne-prone or sensitive skin so powerful:

• Spinach: This leafy green vegetable is loaded with vitamin A and C, both essential for cell turnover, collagen production, and skin repair.
• Coconut water: Nature’s electrolyte-rich hydrator. It flushes out toxins, reduces puffiness, and helps keep skin dewy.
• Pineapple: Contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps with digestion and reduces inflammation (two key factors in clearer skin).
• Avocado: Full of healthy fats and vitamin E to support skin barrier function and a radiant complexion. Follow my how to cut an avocado guide to make this easy.
• Collagen: I use Vital Protein Collagen Peptides, which provide amino acids your body uses to help rebuild collagen, which supports skin elasticity and hydration from the inside out.

Can Smoothies Help with Acne?

Short answer? Not overnight. But when you learn how to make a smoothie with skin-supporting ingredients—and pair it with proper hydration, sleep, and less processed food—your body will thank you. And so will your skin. I’ve personally noticed:

• My adult acne? Gone. It’s wild what a 21-Day Cleanse and daily smoothie for acne can do when skincare products can’t.
• My nails got stronger. I didn’t even realize how brittle they were until they stopped breaking. I’m sure the collagen I’ve been adding to the smoothie helps, too.
• I slept better. Less inflammation, better digestion, fewer cravings—it all added up to better sleep.
• I found new passions. I started growing herbs for my smoothies, cooking more at home, and building habits that supported my overall wellness—not just clear skin.

How to Make a Clear Skin Smoothie

Green smoothies are an easy habit because they take five minutes to put together. Since this smoothie has leafy greens, here’s how I use the two-blend method for a creamy result with any blender:

1. Blend spinach and coconut water until there are no leafy chunks. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to get every last chunk. If you’re using one of the recommended blenders for smoothies, you can combine steps 1 and 2.
2. Add remaining ingredients, including any boosters, and blend again until smooth. Depending on the type of blender you have, be patient! This may take a minute or two to really break down the ingredients.
3. Enjoy! I try to drink my smoothies within 15 minutes of blending, yet it’s totally okay to put them in the fridge to enjoy later.

If you are using some frozen ingredients you should get a refreshingly cool smoothie. If not, feel free to stick a blended smoothie in the fridge to chill or pour over ice.
