Drink THIS For Amazing Skin | Mel Robbins #shorts

Dr. Saranya Wyles learned her ABCs from her grandmother in Chennai, but these stood for apples, beets and carrots. On The Mel Robbins Podcast, the Mayo Clinic dermatologist turns that family lesson into a smoothie recipe, with a little help from an Instant Pot.

The excerpt, titled "Drink THIS For Amazing Skin | Mel Robbins #shorts", drew roughly 67,000 views before its first day was over. Its early pace points to a first-day audience around six times the usual start for Robbins' Shorts.

Wyles says she began cooking down the apples, beets and carrots after she had children. She keeps the apple peel on, explaining that it contains quercetin, then adds flax and chia seeds, turmeric and coconut water. Protein powder is optional.

Robbins closes the clip by walking through the preparation: cook the produce until soft, take a scoop of that mixture and blend it with the remaining ingredients. It's a recipe built around preparing the base ahead rather than chopping everything for each drink.

The skin-health promise has prompted some decidedly kitchen-focused questions. Viewers ask why the ingredients need cooking, what happens to the wax on apple peels and, most directly, how the finished smoothie tastes.

For anyone wanting the longer conversation, the smoothie section begins at 33:31 in Robbins' full episode with Wyles, "Mayo Clinic Dermatologist: 5 Things to Do for Healthier, Younger-Looking Skin".

The numbers

The smoothie excerpt is making a substantially faster start than Robbins' usual Shorts. Its first-day projection is still an estimate, not a completed day's total.
