Six Smoothie Recipes for Constipation
and Acne Relief
I recommend drinking a morning smoothie if you have constipation or if you
have skin problems like acne. Drinking a high fiber smoothie relieves and
prevents constipation. It will also provide the nutrients that are necessary
for having or keeping a nice clean and smooth skin.
So, here are the six smoothie recipes you can blend:
* Apple Smoothie
* Apple-Barley Smoothie
* Apricot Smoothie
* Peach-Rice Dream Smoothie
* Pineapple Smoothie
* Strawberry Smoothie
Apple Smoothie
Mix in the blender the following:
1-2 small apples cut into wedges
1 banana
1 cup 50:50 rice dream: almond milk
¼ cup or less of raisins soaked overnight
1-teaspoon honey
1-2 cubes of ice
1-teaspoon lecithin granules
2 tablespoons flax seed oil
Start by mixing the banana and the liquids. Then add slices of apples
to get the consistency you like. In all of your smoothies add flax seed
oil for nice smooth skin. I also add a tablespoon of flax seed straight
into the blender and the blender will chop them up.
Apple-Barley Smoothie
Mix in the blender the following:
1 cup of sliced apples with peel
1/2 cup of cooked barley
1/4 cup of soaked raisins
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
1-1 ½ cup of 50:50 rice dream: almond milk
1-teaspoon lecithin granules
2 Tablespoons flax seed oil
Make sure you use the lecithin granules in these smoothies since lecithin
helps to break down the flax oil into tiny droplets and makes it more
digestible.
Apricot Smoothie
One cup of fresh apricots or dried apricots that were soaked overnight
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Two oz. of prune juice
One teaspoon or more of oat bran
One teaspoon of mineral whey
One tablespoon of flax seed oil
One tablespoon of lecithin granules
Add a slight amount of distilled water or ice cubes to make the consistency
to your liking. This smoothie is good for constipation and acne.
Peach-Rice Dream Smoothie
Mix in the blender:
2 fresh peaches with peel
1-cup rice dream
1/2 banana
1-teaspoon sesame seeds
1-teaspoon sunflower seed
1-tablespoon lecithin granules
2 tablespoons flax seed oil
In place of rice dream you can use almond milk. I now only use almond
milk to make my smoothies. Place all of the seeds straight into the blender.
This smoothie has plenty of fiber. You may want to increase the amount
of sesame and sunflower seeds.
Pineapple Smoothie
Mix the following in a blender:
1-2 cups of fresh pineapples
1/2 cups apple slices
1/4-cup fresh apple juice
1/2-cup almond milk (more or less as needed)
1 banana
1-tablespoon lecithin
2-tablespoons flax seeds
2 teaspoons bran (wheat, oat or rice)
You can add more lecithin if you like. Lecithin does not have a taste.
This smoothie is jam packed with fiber.
Strawberry Smoothie
Mix in a blender the following ingredients:
1 banana
1-tablespoon of lecithin granules
1-teaspoon of any type of bran
1 cup or more 50:50 rice dream: almond milk
Now add strawberries one by one with the blender on until you get the
consistency you like.
1-tablespoon flax seeds
1 or 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1-teaspoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon of flax seed oil
You can add liquid minerals or vitamins to these smoothies and give them
an additional nutritional value.
There you have the smoothies that I make. Start making and drinking them
and see the health benefits that you'll get.
