Six Smoothie Recipes For Constipation and Acne Relief

Acne Peel

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.

Acne Peel

So, here are the six smoothie recipes you can blend.

Acne Peel

* Apple Smoothie
* Apple-Barley Smoothie
* Apricot Smoothie
* Peach-Rice Dream Smoothie
* Pineapple Smoothie
* Strawberry Smoothie

Acne Peel

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 breakdown 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 ban
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.

Long before we had doctors and hospitals, people are their home remedies for their grievances. If by instinct or trial and error, found that the treatment worked. They could not say why it worked, they were just glad it did. We can fall back on these years of self-care experience to find cures for almost all diseases, even for the treatment of acne.

Most acne treatments are safe house, but before taking such a possibilityTo remedy this, some thoughts on the ingredients. Do you have an allergy or hypersensitivity to any component? Some foods have a negative interaction with certain medications. It could be a possibility, at home acne treatment you are considering? The doctor to see if it could be a problem.

Safer home acne treatments are combinations of food on the skin. But even if you only use the treatment on the surfaceof your skin, and not ingesting it, the chemical constituents of the remedy will be absorbed into your body.

The most common and most popular homemade acne treatments are made with common items from the kitchen. A study of these ingredients reveals that they are not just random concoctions. They tend to fall into categories of antiseptic, anti-bacterial, astringent, or abrasive. Some of the more acidic fruit-based remedies may be irritating to sensitive skin, so use with caution.

Oatmeal is a gentle abrasive that helps remove dead skin cells and also absorbs excess oil. Honey, cinnamon, and garlic are natural anti-bacterials. Lemon juice, orange peel, lime juice, vinegar, and tomato are antiseptic due to their acid content. Mint juice, tumeric, and tea are astringent. These ingredients, and others, are combined in various ways to create a homemade acne treatment.

Make a paste by mixing honey and cinnamon powder. Apply to pimples before bed and wash off next morning. Grind orange peel and water to a paste, and apply on and around pimples. Rub fresh garlic on and around pimples. Mix fresh lime juice with a cup of boiled milk and use as a face wash. Mix lime juice and rose water in equal portions; apply on affected area and wash off after 20-30 minutes. Apply tomato or cucumber pulp on acne pimples for up to an hour, then wash. Make a paste of salt and vinegar. Apply to pimples; wash off after 20-30 minutes. Apply a paste of turmeric powder and mint juice; wash off after 20-30 minutes. Mix natural yogurt and fine oatmeal to a thick paste, apply and let dry. Wash with lukewarm water. Boil 2-3 tea bags with dried basil for 10-20 minutes. Apply the tea water to the face.
