The task: To consume 2 x cups of green tea, 2 x cups of berry smoothie & 1 x natural liquid iron (Spatone) each day for at least a week & take note of the results.
I know for certain that green tea helps clear up my skin, berry smoothies do me a world of good, and I’m currently low in iron (which can affect circulation & nutrients getting to the skin, as well as make me feel too tired to do the necessary good things to glow!)
I’m super excited because I’ve just bought an Optimum 9400 Blender, which is a super powerful machine that is stronger than a Vitamix & does the job just as well or better! It blends berry seeds & tough greens to liquid, and makes any smoothie SUPER smooth. Which is how they should be!
This lil beast will be my ally in creating glow inducing recipes. I’ve just created the following and already feel healthier:
1/4 cup organic frozen blueberries
1/2 cup antioxidant mix frozen berries [ goji berries, blueberries, cranberries, mulberries ] – I grew up with a mulberry tree, I am so fond of these berries!
A few teaspoons of chlorophyll
Ice as desired (I put about 4 cubes in – made it nice and thick)
1/2 – 1 cup of water
Blend up everything and drink immediately, should make 1-2 glasses.
I felt absolutely amazing after I finished drinking this, the bright red colour of the smoothie means it’s really high in antioxidants and I can’t wait to see the effect on my skin tomorrow morning.
Let me know if you end up trying this delicious smoothie out! X
