Beauty Benefits
- Greek Yogurt: Rich in protein and probiotics, it provides amino acids essential for collagen production, promoting skin elasticity.
- Berries: High in vitamin C and antioxidants, they help protect the skin from free radicals and support collagen synthesis.
- Chia Seeds: Packed with omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation and keep skin moisturized.
- Honey: A natural humectant that locks in moisture, keeping your skin hydrated.
Tip: For an extra collagen kick, you can stir in a scoop of collagen peptide powder into your yogurt before assembling.
