A good hair growth smoothie will supply some or all of the following nutrients: Iron, Vitamin C, Protein, Niacin, Zinc and Biotin for hair growth. Good smoothies for healthy hair will be made with dark leafy greens, berries, nuts like walnuts or almonds, avocados and flax seeds.
Preparation for all smoothies are the same:
Place the ingredients into a high-speed blender. Add enough water to chard to puree for easier blending. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days.
- Mango Strawberry
Swiss chard is high in Iron as well as Vitamin A. Mangos and strawberries are both high in Vitamin C. The walnuts provide Zinc and Biotin (Vitamin B7). Flax seeds have lignans, proteins and omega-3 fatty acids, which help strengthen hair, prevent hair shedding, and make hair look healthier and shinier.
INGREDIENTS
3 large chard leaves, washed well, tough stems trimmed
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup strawberries
1 cup plain Greek or regular yogurt
¼ cup walnuts
1 Tbsp. flax seed
½-1 cup water
2. Avocado, Spinach and Berry
Avocado contains Niacin (B3), which can help increase blood circulation to the scalp. Niacin can help boost not only the thickness of hair strands, but nail strength and nail thickness too. Almond milk provides protein, which is essential for the hair structure, as well as Zinc.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 ripe avocado
2 cups spinach
1 cup raspberries
1 cup strawberries
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
2 cups almond milk
3. Berry & Spinach
Berries are a great source of Vitamin C, which helps the body absorb Iron. Vitamin C is also essential for the formation of collagen.
The spinach in this healthy hair recipe has lots of B vitamins and Iron. Iron deficiency, or anemia, can inhibit the transportation of oxygen to cells and, in some cases, cause hair loss.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup baby spinach
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
1 Tbsp. chia seeds
1/2 banana, cut into chunks
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3-5 ice cubes
