I call this smoothie Radiant Skin Smoothie because I add chia seeds that are packed with essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 oils that will make your skin glow like never before! Non-gluten chia seeds are one of the superfoods that will not only give you radiant skin, but your hair and nails will look amazing too. I choose milled chia seeds so there is no need to soak them.
