Are you in need of a smooth, cold drink that will get you on the road to feeling and looking phenomenal? At Hair La Vie, we're dedicated to perfecting recipes that not only taste amazing but also work wonders for you.

Not to brag, but we're pretty sure we've perfected the ultimate smoothie to support hair and nail health. It's filled with nutritious fruits and veggies that support your body from the inside out and promote visible hair quality and length. You'll be ready to try any of the new nail colors and hair styles.

This smoothie only takes minutes and can be made with ingredients already in your fridge. Loaded with vitamin- and nutrient-dense foods, it is definitely waiting in line at the cafe in the morning. It's also better than those gas station mega-gulps of frozen sugar sludge.

So after your morning workout (for us, it's doing reps of hitting the snooze button), whip up a quick batch of this refreshing smoothie to give your day an easy pick-me-up.

The ultimate healthy hair smoothie

This smoothie is perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle or even to just satisfy a craving.

Ingredients:

1 handful of blueberries
1 whole banana (try it frozen)
1 handful of spinach
1 handful of kale
3 scoops of low-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup of almond milk
1/2 cup of ice

Blend and enjoy! 

The ultimate smoothie benefits 

Blueberries are loaded with vitamin C, which fortifies and strengthens hair strands. Bananas contain Iron, B vitamins, and potassium. If your schedule doesn't allow time for you to whip up one of these smoothies, hair vitamin supplements can help fill that gap. Iron, fiber, and antioxidants can be found in a bunch of spinach, a crucial compound in supporting hair health from follicle to tip. And you might be surprised to know that kale packs a mighty punch. Vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, and sulfur–yes, sulfur! It’s a surprising element that helps to give elasticity to hair.

And as for the base and liquids—you can do avocado instead of yogurt, which can add a host of benefits, but we’re going to go with the Greek yogurt because we love vitamins D and B5, both of which are essential for follicle health. A consistent diet that regularly includes Vitamin B5 will also help give your hair the glow it deserves! And finally, almond milk is super rich in nutrients like protein, potassium, and zinc, visibly strengthening the hair and supporting scalp health.

Final Thoughts

This smoothie is not only a hair-health marvel, but it's also a quick and easy way to knock out most of your recommended nutritional intake for the day. The fiber even keeps you full throughout the morning.

The benefits of eating healthy play a tremendous role in your hair—inside and out. If you are not a big smoothie person, plenty of foods will nourish your hair and nails to help rejuvenate and promote healthy hair.

For the maximum appearance of length, health, and beauty, Hair La Vie’s Clinical Formula Hair Vitamins are best taken twice a day: once with your daily smoothie and once again at night.
