Sweet-tart, fiber-rich, and friendly for your microbiome—and your face.

✅ Why It’s Good for Gut & Skin:

  • Rhubarb: High in fiber and natural prebiotics to feed your good gut bacteria.
  • Berries: Loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C for skin elasticity.
  • Chia seeds: Omega-3s + fiber = smoother digestion and smoother skin.
  • Lemon: Supports liver detox and collagen synthesis.

📝 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • ¼ cup water
  • Zest & juice of ½ lemon
  • 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or raw honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
