Dr. Trevor Cates Recipes
What you eat can have a big effect on your health and hormones. Here are some favorite recipes created by Dr. Cates.
Crisp Antioxidant Salad
The greens, carrots, blueberries, and pomegranate seeds fill this salad with vitamin C and the antioxidant family of carotenes, especially beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Human studies have shown carotenoid-rich diets can protect skin against sun damage by increasing its defense against UV light-mediated damage. In addition, walnuts are a nutrient-dense food and full of
Oat, Green Tea and Yogurt Face Mask
This combination is fantastic for sensitive or inflamed Heath- and Emmett-types (take theskinquiz.com to find out yours) because of the anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. The oats also help absorb excess oil, and the balancing effects of yogurt and green tea make it great for acne-prone Olivia-types. This mask doesn't have photosensitivity issues so you
Raw “Pasta” Salad
This is a refreshing way to serve zucchini and yellow squash and it can make an excellent alternative to the traditional carb-heavy pasta salad. Using a spiralizer makes this quick and easy. My children love to help prepare this one, and I think it's fun to eat as well!
Coconut Milk Whipped Cream
Whipped cream is the ultimate dessert topping but when you try this coconut milk version, you may never go back to the traditional dairy version. Enjoy this on the peach cobbler, baked apples, or simply with a bowl of fresh fruit. Delish!
Grain-Free Peach Cobbler
This healthier take on the traditional Southern Peach Cobbler only lasts a few minutes at my house! Using almond flour and erythritol instead of traditional flour and sugar makes this dessert grain-free and guilt-free! Give it a try and let us know what you think. Peach cobbler is another traditional Southern treat that is hard
Evening Papaya Mask
Papaya is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, and has antioxidant properties that help rejuvenate skin. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and papain help exfoliate. This mask is beneficial in treating acne and dark spots. Use this mask only at night because, like citrus, AHAs can cause photosensitivity. If you have hyperpigmentation this could make
Chilled Avocado Soup
This cool, refreshing soup's main ingredient is one of my all-time favorite skin-nourishing foods: avocado. Mixed with cilantro, lime juice, and ginger, this zesty bowl is sure to tickle your taste buds.
Skin-Nourishing Coffee Substitute
While some people can tolerate caffeine better than others it still has a reputation for its dehydrating and inflammatory effects. If you are trying to cut out caffeine but still want the warm pick-me-up in the morning, then try this skin-nourishing coffee substitute. Made with dandelion root which is full of antioxidants and chicory root
Watermelon Gazpacho Recipe
This summer soup is great for warm days when you need to cool down! Watermelon is an excellent source of the antioxidants lycopene, vitamin C, and beta-carotene. This juicy fruit is 92 percent water, meaning it’s packed with hydration benefits. This is a top pick for warm spring and summer days, when watermelon is in
Bean Dip Hummus
Bean Dip Hummus is a great (and tasty) way to get protein and fiber in your diet. This recipe is versatile and you can customize it to your favorite type of bean. Serve with some healthy veggies for dipping. It's always nice to have a yummy dip in the fridge when it's snack time. You
