There's nothing that a smoothie can't do ! They can be desserts,snacks,or complete meals ! Also you can talior fit them to your specific nutritional need. Green smothies are great for your skin and can aid in the repair of cells. Sweet smoothies like strawberry and blueberry are great as natural pick me ups and bad snack replacements. They also help to give you the raw glow because they need less digestion from the body and go straight into the blood stream.I have enjoyed all of these in great gratitude. They are also very child friendly and  Grown ups love them too. So continue to drink up I know I will !

Turmeric

 

 

Turmeric is the root of the Curcuma Longa plant, it is an extremely powerful root. Many people use it to combat gastrointestinal issues,menstrual issues and jaundice. Turmeric can be added to many dishes like tofu,mustard and pastries to give them a beautiful yellow color. I made this juice because I was craving it, I guess my stomach needed a little tune up.

Turmeric root is very powerful and not only works to alleviate many illness it is also a great source of manganese. It took me less than ten minutes to whip up a glass, if your having gastrointestinal issues give it a try before the peptomismol.

Caribbean almonds were always a special treat for me as a child. Growing up in Barbados meant that we always had an abundance of these green gems when we went to the beach.  Caribbean almonds are a real super food because even the leaves of the almond tree can be taken as medicine.  The red skin on the inside of these almonds are used to make water resistant canoes. The skin on the Caribbean almonds are also quite soft in comparison to other nuts; which made them even more of a delight to eat. Also the nut itselfs flavor is of a light almond extract and the nut is crunchy, dense and milky. Caribbean almonds are so popular because they are usually found at the sea shore that many island resorts name themselves after them.
