If you prefer something tart, try this! Blend half cucumber (unskinned, seeded), 3 passionfruit, and 1 cup of raspberries. The end-result will be something quite sourish, but that smells heavenly, thanks to the passionfruit. The raspberries add a nice pop of red and a hefty dose of phytonutrients. Gulp it all down quickly so your teeth don’t get hurt!

I’d been having a lot of facial inflammation lately. I concocted the following recipe to help reduce “heatiness”, especially around the head area. It tastes great and helps the body detox — the effects for me were very prominent in about 1–2 hours after consumption: my face became less “hot”, and the swelling in my cheeks disappeared, together with 2 cystic acne bumps! And the best part is that this smoothie tasted absolutely wonderful! Yum!!!

4 ingredients, with grapefruit as the star — Tried this tonight. Great tasting! Blend 1 cucumber, 1 kiwifruit (green variety), 1 grapefruit (pink/red variety) and 1 avocado. The avocado adds thickness, the cucumber adds juice and bulk, the kiwi seeds add texture, and the overall taste is that of grapefruit.
