Introduction
When it comes to radiant, youthful skin, nature often holds the best secrets. Among the superfoods making waves in skincare, flaxseeds stand out for their powerful nutrients and skin-loving properties. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and antioxidants, flaxseeds help combat dryness, inflammation, and premature aging from the inside out. Incorporating flaxseeds into your daily routine is not only simple but also delicious—especially with a skin-boosting flaxseed recipe like the one below.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of choice)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 small ripe banana (mashed)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for extra fiber and hydration)
Fresh berries or sliced fruit for topping
Directions:
In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the ground flaxseeds, almond milk, mashed banana, cinnamon, and sweetener.
Stir in the chia seeds if using. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumps.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the mixture to thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
Once set, stir again and top with fresh berries or fruit slices before serving.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Enjoy it chilled as a refreshing breakfast, midday snack, or even a light dessert.
Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before each serving, as natural separation may occur.
