If there’s something we love more than skin care (believe us, there are very few things that top the list), it’s food. We’re willing to admit that yes, you should eat to live, but mindful eating allows you to live to eat. Yes, we can have it all: we can be happy and healthy and have beautiful skin!
Here’s what’s on our anti-aging, skin-brightening menu this week:
BREAKFAST
Cleansing Carrot, Orange, Kale, Lemon & Ginger Juice (via Deliciously Ella)Refreshing, cleansing, and full of antioxidant Vitamins A and C and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, this “powerhouse of goodness” is the perfect pick-me-up for mornings you need an instant wake-me-up.

LUNCH
Mediterranean Millet Salad Wraps (via Nutrition Stripped)Another light and refreshing meal to add to your menu this week. I’m obsessed with this wrap at the moment – I’m a sucker for Mediterranean flavors and wraps of any kind, as it turns out; they’re non-fussy and easy to eat if you’re working at your desk – and I’m trying to turn everyone onto them (yes, including you dear readers).
You’ve got a hearty grain (rich in magnesium!), antioxidant-rich veggies, plant-based proteins, and if you want to make your wrap extra filling, salmon (a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids).

DINNER
Superfood Crunch Salad with Homemade Balsamic Apple Vinaigrette (via Oh She Glows)You know the drill by now... superfoods: good for you, good for your skin. We’ll try any salad combo, and this one’s the latest to tickle our fancy. With great ingredients like apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, kale, pear, and pomegranate arils, you’ve got yourself a plateful of anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, nutrients, and vitamins that help your complexion look and feel every bit healthy, glowing, and fresh.
