Reese Witherpoon's glowing green smoothie recipe

Actress, producer, entrepreneur, and book club host Reese Witherspoon is an endless beam of energy and positivity, and we think we’ve found the source – a glowing green smoothie! At 44, Witherspoon has gorgeous, youthful skin, and this glowing green smoothie is to thank – the actress has been starting her day with the nutritious concoction for eight (or nine – even she’s not 100% sure!) years.

A variation on a smoothie by celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder (and a favourite of flowing glowing-skin-haver Kerry Washington), this glowing green smoothie is packed with fruits and vegetables designed to keep you energised through till lunchtime.

Other ingredients we’ve been adding to Reese’s smoothie:

We can’t get enough of Reese’s smoothie, but when we make it, we throw in a few smoothie boosters to make it more nutritionally balanced (and even tastier).

A tablespoon of almond butter: for some heart-healthy and filling fats. Almond (or peanut) butter makes this smoothie even creamier and more satisfying.
A scoop of plant-based protein powder: vanilla pea or brown rice protein works a treat and will help steady your blood sugar and energy levels.
A heaped teaspoon of chia seeds: for an extra thick smoothie (chia seeds expand in liquid), and a dose of plant-based omega-3, an essential fatty acid with anti-inflammatory and skin-hydrating properties.
