Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups papaya
- ¼ cucumber
- 5 fresh mint leaves
- ¼ lime
Instructions:
Blend with:
1 tsp. honey
1 generous Tbsp. avocado
Notes:
Boost
Ancient Egyptians would probably have added a teaspoon of bee pollen to further enhance the beautifying powers of this recipe. I do too occasionally.
Benefits
Thanks to its silicon and potassium content, cucumber rejuvenates your appearance by promoting skin elasticity and reducing blemishes. Cucumber also soothes your nerves and acts as a natural diuretic. The beta-carotene in papaya and the vitamin E in avocado fight free radicals and help prevent premature aging.
Tip
Freeze some chunks of papaya the night before and use them as edible ice cubes.
