The end of the year has always been this time when most people, if not everyone, make New Year’s resolutions. And correct me if I am wrong, but my bet is that probably 80% of them might have something to do with losing weight or changing lifestyle. That’s why I wanted to give you a recipe that could come in handy in such case. So the fact that I am a health freak is obvious. And that I believe that the real beauty comes from inside and makes you glow – both metaphorically and literally. And this smoothie has been my skin’s best friend for a year and it is really trusted one! Shanghai – next to being beautiful - is also polluted – we all know. But you can protect yourselves and prevent all the side effects of it by eating properly and using the right skin treatments. They really don’t need to cost you 1,000 RMB for 50ml jar! I eat it every day and about 3 times a week I will also apply some of it on my whole face and neck ( but it’s up to your imagination which part of your skin you would like to ‘feed’ with it).And my skin has really never looked healthier. Here’s what I use: 1 AVOCADO – it has endless benefits: fights infections, prevents cancer, slows aging process - to name just very few A SMALL PIECE OF PAPAYA – another vitamin bomb as it is a rich source of the powerful antioxidants A SLICE OF MANGO – difficult to cut, but totally worth the effort –besides containing lots of vitamins, can help prevent breast , colon, lung and oral cavity cancer 1 TABLE SPOON OF COCONUT OIL - if you google it, you will see links presenting you with 107 uses of coconut oil and eating it should become your daily routine. A TABLE SPOON OF FLAXSEED – also a super hero among foods, mostly known for containing OMEGA 3 AND FIBER These are the ‘regulars’ in my miraculous smoothie, but to vary it I will sometimes add a little of COCONUT MILK or GREEK YOGURT or A SMALL PIECE OF ALOE’S FLESH and sometimes A DROP OF HONEY. I put all these ingredients in my small food processor and it is ready within a minute. Preparation doesn’t take more than a few minutes either and the effects will blow your mind! Have a sensational and healthy New Year, everyone!
