This strawberry glow skin elixir is not your average pretty pink drink. It’s a collagen-friendly, hormone-happy tonic that hits your tastebuds and your skin cells. Think glowing from the inside out — the kind of glow that makes people ask, “What’s your skincare routine?” and you’re like… “gut health and girl math.”
Why This Drink is the Ultimate Biohacking Beauty Ritual: Strawberries bring the vitamin C, globe amaranth brings the glow, and chia seeds bring the fiber and fullness. It hydrates, calms inflammation, and supports clear skin by balancing your blood sugar and hormones at the same damn time. Sip it in the morning, post-workout, or while casting spells on your ex.
Star Ingredients Breakdown:
🍓 Strawberries – Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C to support collagen production and reduce hormonal acne.
🌸 Globe Amaranth Tea (or Hibiscus as a sub) – Antioxidant-rich, supports skin repair, and gives that gorgeous pink hue.
🌱 Chia Seeds – Omega-3s, fiber, and hydration for gut lining support and clearer skin.
🍋 Lemon Juice – Liver-stimulating and supports estrogen metabolism.
💧 Mineral Water or Coconut Water – Electrolyte-rich for hydration, bloat reduction, and that “lit-from-within” look.
The Recipe: Serves 1 large elixir (or 2 small)
¾ cup brewed and cooled globe amaranth tea (or hibiscus tea)
½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp chia seeds
½–1 cup sparkling mineral water or coconut water
Optional: 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup for sweetness
Ice, to serve
Directions:
Brew tea and let cool.
Blend tea, strawberries, lemon juice, and optional sweetener.
Pour over ice and stir in chia seeds and sparkling water.
Let sit for 10 minutes so the chia gels slightly. Sip slowly and visualize your skin glowing brighter than your future.
