Ingredient & Benefit Breakdown
Kabocha Pumpkin
Pumpkin is beneficial for skin health due to its rich nutrient profile, including antioxidants like beta-carotene that reduce signs of aging. Its high water content hydrates the skin, while natural enzymes gently exfoliate for a smoother complexion. Additionally, vitamins A, C, and E nourish the skin and support healing, making pumpkin an excellent choice for a radiant appearance.
Glutinous Rice
Adding a creamy consistency to the smoothie, glutinous rice offers carbohydrates for energy and is gentle on the digestive system.
Millet
Millet, a nutrient-dense whole grain, is rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. It supports digestive health, helps maintain stable energy levels, and is gentle on the stomach. Millet is also beneficial for skin health, as it contains antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and aid in maintaining skin hydration.
Rock Sugar
A natural sweetener that adds just the right amount of sweetness without overwhelming the flavor, rock sugar is easier on the stomach compared to regular sugar.
