Sunrise - the Beauty Superfood Smoothie
This post contains affiliate links.
I call this smoothie Sunrise - obviously because of its looks, but also because it can instantly renew my energy. It’s with mangosteen and hibiscus, and when you mix those two, you get a vitamin-C boost, an anti-oxidant powerhouse, a blood mineralizer, a detoxifier, an anti-inflammatory kick, and a super nourisher with a profound ability to purify and nourish the blood, plus cleanse and nourish the skin.

Pour the mango layer into 2 glasses.
Place the frozen raspberries in the strainer and pour boiling water over them to help burn off potential harmful bacteria.
