This satisfying (and kid-approved!) smoothie is perfect for a nourishing meal on-the-go or a sweet after dinner treat. Plus, it's loaded with skin detoxing Vitamin A which reduces oil production & inflammation associated with acne. Carrots are naturally packed with Vitamin A (the same active ingredient found in topical prescription medications like Retin-A) which is shown to stimulate collagen production. Combine with Om Aroma & Co. Carrot Rose Serum to reap all of the skin-smoothing benefits! Garnish with fiber-rich raisins, carrot shavings, chia seeds & sunflowers seeds.
