Beauty Elixer (that green juice)

Hey guys!!

Okay here are the recipes from yesterday.  So given my Italian nature, I don't typically measure things, its more of a SOUL feeling.  Funny, when I used to cook with my mommom, I was always like "Mommom, but how MUCH am I putting in?!"  Her answer was always, like, a dash, or a pinch.

Now I get it.

So first up, that green juice.  This was actually something I found in a magazine, long ago.  It is allegedly Kerry Washington's Beauty Elixer.  And, well, she's gorgeous, so I was game.

BEAUTY ELIXER:

In a blender or a NutriBullet...

-1/4 cupish of purified water
-few leaves of organic romaine (protects computer stressed eyes)
-few stalks of organic celery (good for skin hydration and elasticity)
-healthy handful of organic spinach (cell turnover, regulates sleep, mood, appetite and calms nervous function among many other things!)
-healthy handful of organic parsley (flushes excess water retention)

Mix together then add...

-organic banana (regulates sleep, mood and appetite and important for electrolyte balance)
-organic apple (see below)
-organic pear (great fiber and anti-inflammatory)
-half organic lemon (helps maintain a flat belly and natural detoxifier)

Congratulations!!  You now have a beauty elixer!! :)

*Apples really do keep the doctor away.  They reduce allergies, they detox the body, they are loaded with antioxidants and they areanti-inflammatory.  They balance bacteria in the large intestine which aids digestion and is good for the skin.  They are anti-cancerous, and they help fight wrinkles!
