Spiced Pineapple Coconut Smoothie

See ya winter, it’s (almost) smoothie season!
With winter nearly behind us, it’s starting to feel a whole lot more like smoothie season. In case you haven’t already hopped on the smoothie bandwagon, it’ll certainly be worth your while. In addition to being delicious, smoothies are a super easy way to get a ton of high quality nutrition in a single glass. This spiced pineapple coconut blend is not only high in protein, but it’s also infused with cinnamon, ginger and turmeric – all 3 of which are powerful anti-inflammatories. Give it a try after your next workout!

Angela - High Res

  1. Who is your beauty icon?
    Kate Hudson. She’s mastered the no-makeup look, never looks overdone, but always looks gorgeous and put together whether she’s glammed up or walking down the street in jeans and a t-shirt.
  2. What beauty product do you always carry in your handbag?
    Lip gloss. I think I have at least 5 in my purse right now! There’s everything from clear and fruity (my eos collection is rather extensive) to tinted. I love Clinique’s Almost Lipstick – it gives my lips a nice punch of colour while being really moisturizing at the same time.
  3. Describe your typical morning beauty routine:
    After the gym, I shower and apply a homemade body scrub. I wash my face and typically do an exfoliating scrub every 2-3 days. Then it’s toner and moisturizer with SPF on my face, and coconut oil instead of body lotion. My makeup routine typically involves foundation, a little translucent powder and bronzer, subtle eye shadow, eyeliner, and lipstick with a bit of gloss on top. Whatever happens to my hair depends on how much time I have left. Sometimes it’s blowdried and straightened, other times I do a head full of curls with my blowdryer’s diffuser, and if I’m running late, the sock bun is my saving grace!
