A Healthy Smoothie for Hair Growth
This superfood hair smoothie recipe is an easy and delicious way to give your body the essential vitamins and minerals it needs to grow strong, healthy, and shiny hair. Packed with 5 superfoods, this smoothie is sure to not only help with growing healthy hair but can also help energy, immunity, and boost digestive health. Though this smoothie is packed with essential nutrients it does not compromise taste, and we encourage you to use what you have in your fridge or pantry and make swaps where need be! If you are dairy-free and/or vegan, feel free to substitute the greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt or your favorite plant milk. You could also throw in a frozen banana or add more ice if you’d like the smoothie's texture to be creamier and thicker. If you prefer to use a different sweetener, you could add dates or even maple syrup instead of honey. The combinations are endless!
The prep time for this recipe is around a minute excluding the soak time for the chia and flax seeds, but it can be prepped in advance for when you are in a time crunch. If you’d like to speed up the process, throw all ingredients in a blender sans the chia and flax seed soak time and allow the finished smoothie to let stand for 5-10 mins to allow the seeds to gel for easier digestion. See the 3 easy steps below to assemble this delicious and nutritious smoothie for hair growth.

You may have often heard the saying, “you are what you eat,” which may be true regarding hair growth. According to an article on Healthline, a diet that lacks nutrients such as vitamins A, C, D, E, zinc and iron may be a factor that slows down hair growth and could even contribute to hair fall. If you aren't getting enough of these vital nutrients, you may begin to see the effects in your hair's health. Though it is important to make sure you are getting vitamins and minerals to help your body obtain what it needs to grow healthy hair, there are also powerful topical ingredients such as ginseng and niacinamide that are worth looking into and great for improving the condition of the scalp.
The ingredients within this recipe are targeted toward benefitting the hair, however, they are also essential nutrients for other areas of our bodies such as the brain, cardiovascular system, and preventing disease.
