Packed with vitamins that help keep your skin healthy, this smoothie is the perfect way to start your day.
This smoothie contains orange blossom water, which is originally from Morocco and is often used throughout the Middle East as a natural treatment for an upset stomach. It also includes ginger, a well-known anti-inflammatory, which can help to leave your complexion calm and glowing.
