Awesome Smoothie 02/17/2010
0 Comments
 

I have been eating more skin nourishing foods trying to help my skin heal from a rash that was exacerbated by a topical medication I used.  One of the yummy things I made was this amazingly tasty, skin toning smoothie! 

Flesh and water from 1 young thai coconut
1 c. Almond Milk
1/2 small avocado
1 packet Acai
1 orange, peeled
1 banana

Blend and drink.  Awesome-ly good! 

Thai coconut water is full of potassium which facilitates cleansing of the cells.  It's electrolyte content is very similar to human blood and has been used for blood transfusions!  Very easily asimilated into our bodies, this hydrates you better than anything else. 
Almond milk adds thickness and creaminess!
Avocadoes have raw beautifying fat that is perfect for our bodies!    Full of minerals and fiber.
Acai  It is chock-full of Omega Fatty Acids that plump and nourish the skin as well as antioxidents.
Banana adds some sweetness!

Although I woke up the next morning and still have my rash :), I feel great!  Here's to trying new food!

In Peace,
Kirsten
