Here is how to build a natural
smoothie that can stop constipation,
relieve acne, improve your
skin and give you more energy.
The smoothie base is a liquid
slurry that can be used to
add more natural ingredients.
The liquid base can be made
from various fresh juices
or rice, oat, or almond milks.
I stay away from milk since
milk creates mucus along the
gastrointestinal lining. Choose
and mix any of the following
liquids and pour them into
a blender.
Juices – apple, pineapple,
orange, tangerine
Milks – rice dream,
oat milk, almond milk
I use a combination of 40%
rice dream, 40% almond milk,
and 20% apple juice. You can
use the combinations you like.
Sometimes I might just use
all rice dream. Other times
I will mix 75% almond milk
with 25% fresh apple juice.
All of these juices provide
liquid to your colon to help
your stop constipation.
Sesame Milk
You can also make sesame milk
and use this in your smoothies.
In his book, Blending Magic,
Bernard Jensen, Nutritionist,
has a real nice recipe for
sesame milk.
"I believe that sesame seed
is one of our best. It is
a wonderful drink for gaining
weight and for lubricating
the intestinal tract. Its
nutritional value is beyond
compare, as it is high in
protein and minerals. This
is the seed that is used so
much as a basic food in Arabia
and East India.
Blend for 1- 1 1/2 minutes
to make smooth,
•2 cups of distilled
water
•1/4 cup of Sesame Seed
•2 Tablespoons Soy Milk
Powder"
In place of 2 cups of distilled
water use 1 cup of water and
1 cup of low fat rice dream
and leave out the 2 tablespoons
of soy milk powder. This will
make this drink less fattening.
I prefer not to give children
soymilk or soy products because
of their estrogen mimicking
characteristics.
Banana Base
Next I always put in a banana.
This gives the liquid a bit
more thickness. Also bananas
are high in potassium and
other minerals. They contain
little fiber and yet do not
create constipation when used
with other fiber fruits. Use
bananas that are not spotted
since at this point they are
quite ripe and are more fattening.
I freeze bananas so when I
am out of fresh ones I can
use frozen ones.
Main Ingredients
Next I choose a fruit that
will be the main ingredient.
I use strawberries when they
are in season, if you have
fresh organic fruit, then
this is the best way to create
your smoothie. What I do is
freeze fruit during its season
so I can have some of this
fruit a bit long than its
seasonal run. If the fruit
is organic, use the whole
fruit without peeling. Whole
fruits contain a lot of fiber
that will help you stop constipation.
Choose from fruits that are
in season.
•Avocado
•Cantaloupe
•Peach, mango, papaya
•Pineapple, apricots,
apples
•Strawberries, blueberries,
raspberries
•Figs
•Dried prunes, peaches,
apricots, figs
Nutrients to Add to Your Smoothie
Base
Once you have your basic smoothie,
you can add other nutrients
that will provide you with
additional fiber, oil, vitamins,
minerals and many other nutrients.
Here is a shortlist of some
of the ingredients you can
add to your smoothies. Add
only 2-3 other ingredients
so your smoothie taste doesn't
get to complex or unusual.
But can experiment with the
different nutrients you wish
to add.
•Almonds
•Beet Juice powder
•Black strap molasses
•Capra mineral whey
•Distilled water Ice
cubes
•Fig Juice syrup
•Flaxseed and flax seed
oil
•Honey, rice syrup
•Lecithin granules
•Powder vitamin C
•Raisins
•Rice or oat bran
•Sesame seeds
•Sunflower seeds, pumpkin
seeds
•Wheat germ
Making smoothies is fun and
nutritional. Once you create
the base slurry, then you
can add many other natural
ingredients the will give
energy, stop constipation,
clear acne, and provide many
other health benefits.
