Who doesn't love feeling their best? I know I do!
That's why I created this smoothie to pack my body full of all kinds of nutrients and minerals! Great skin, extra energy and a bit of detox all in one glass! ππ
Some of you might know from my last post What Happens When You Take Food Away From A Food Blogger that I started a 72 hour (3 day) fast on Saturday. Right now, as I write to you, I have succeeded past that goal and am pulling up to 84 hours strong! Now, moving back into eating, I need very healthy, beneficial foods to fill my now cleansed body!
Having a break from food periodically such as once a month, once quarterly, once every half a year or even once a year can have incredible benefits to your system. For example, people have been able to eradicate illnesses, disease and physical impairments all by giving their body some extra time and energy to zone in on the problem and correct it! Our bodies are amazing! But, I'll write more on my fast and how that went for me later... for now... I'm sure you'd love to learn how to make this sooooo...
Let's get to it!
Note: it can be tricky to get the layers to float on top pf one another- it's about weight!

Blue - blue pea flower (soaked in water)
- 1/4 cup soursop (white to pick up the blue)
- 1 tsp chia

What to do:
- Blend each color group together separately starting with red and working up to purple.
- After each layer is blended, carefully pour it into the glass as evenly as possible.
