Six Smoothie Recipes for
Constipation and Acne Relief
by:
Rudy Silva
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
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.
