Six Smoothie Recipes for Constipation and Acne Relief
I recommend drinking a morning smoothie if you have constipation or if you have skin problems like acne.
Drinking a high fiber smoothie relieves and prevents constipation.
It will also provide the nutrients that are necessary for having or keeping a nice clean and smooth skin.
So, here are the six smoothie recipes you can blend.
.
Apple Smoothie
.
Apple-Barley Smoothie
? Apricot Smoothie
? Peach-Rice Dream Smoothie
? Pineapple Smoothie
? Strawberry Smoothie
Apple Smoothie
Mix in the blender the following.
1-2 small apples cut into wedges
1 banana
1 cup 50:50 rice dream: almond milk
? cup or less of raisins soaked overnight
1-teaspoon honey
1-2 cubes of ice
1-teaspoon lecithin granules
2 tablespoons flax seed oil
Start by mixing the banana and the liquids.
Then add slices of apples to get the consistency you like.
In all of your smoothies add flax seed oil for nice smooth skin.
I also add a tablespoon of flax seed straight into the blender and the blender will chop them up.
Apple-Barley Smoothie
Mix in the blender the following.
1 cup of sliced apples with peel
1/2 cup of cooked barley
1/4 cup of soaked raisins
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
1-1 ? cup of 50:50 rice dream: almond milk
1-teaspoon lecithin granules
2 Tablespoons flax seed oil
Make sure you use the lecithin granules in these smoothies since lecithin helps to breakdown the flax oil into tiny droplets and makes it more digestible.
Apricot Smoothie
One cup of fresh apricots or dried apricots that were soaked overnight
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Two oz. of prune juice
One teaspoon or more of oat ban
One teaspoon of mineral whey
One tablespoon of flax seed oil
One tablespoon of lecithin granules
Add a slight amount of distilled water or ice cubes to make the consistency to your liking.
This smoothie is good for constipation and acne.
Peach-Rice Dream Smoothie
Mix in the blender:
2 fresh peaches with peel
1-cup rice dream
1/2 banana
1-teaspoon sesame seeds
1-teaspoon sunflower seed
1-tablespoon lecithin granules
2 tablespoons flax seed oil
In place of rice dream you can use almond milk.
I now only use almond milk to make my smoothies.
Place all of the seeds straight into the blender.
This smoothie has plenty of fiber.
You may want to increase the amount of sesame and sunflower seeds.
Pineapple Smoothie
Mix the following in a blender.
1-2 cups of fresh pineapples
1/2 cups apple slices
1/4-cup fresh apple juice
1/2-cup almond milk (more or less as needed)
1 banana
1-tablespoon lecithin
2-tablespoons flax seeds
2 teaspoons bran (wheat, oat or rice)
You can add more lecithin if you like.
Lecithin does not have a taste.
This smoothie is jam packed with fiber.
Strawberry Smoothie
Mix in a blender the following ingredients.
1 banana
1-tablespoon of lecithin granules
1-teaspoon of any type of bran
1 cup or more 50:50 rice dream: almond milk
Now add strawberries one by one with the blender on until you get the consistency you like.
1-tablespoon flax seeds
1 or 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1-teaspoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon of flax seed oil
You can add liquid minerals or vitamins to these smoothies and give them an additional nutritional value.
There you have the smoothies that I make.
Start making and drinking them and see the health benefits that you'll get

Starting Vegetable Garden Seeds & Plants Indoors
Starting Plants IndoorsSeeds can be germinated and seedlings started in a box, pan or flowerpot of soil in a window. In addition to having at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, the room must be kept reasonably warm at all times.Washed fine sand and shredded sphagnum moss are excellent media in which to start seeds. Place a layer of easily drained soil in the bottom of a flat and cover this soil with a layer - about three-fourths inch thick - of either fine sand or sphagnum moss. Press the sand or moss to form a smooth, firm seedbed.Then, using a jig, make furrows in the seedbed one-half inch deep. Water the sand or moss thoroughly and allow it to drain.Sow seeds thinly in the rows and cover the seeds lightly with a second layer of sand or moss.
Sprinkle the flat, preferably with a fine mist, and cover the flat with a sheet of clear plastic film. The plastic film diffuses and subdues the light and holds moisture in the soil and air surrounding the seeds. Plastic films offer...

How to use flax seed
You can eat whole flax seeds but you need to chew them good to break them up. Your stomach will not dissolve whole flax seeds and many of them will come out in your stools. Chew about a tablespoon in the morning. Then drink 8 oz of water. Make sure if you chew flax seeds that you drink water since the seed expand and become gelatinous.There are brown and golden colored flax seeds.
The golden cost more but there is not difference in their nutritional value.You can grind them up in a grinder and add them to your smoothies. It is best not to use them in any cooking recipes. Heat destroys the value of the flax oil and makes it toxic. I don't recommend you buy ground up flax seeds as found on websites or in health food stores. Once you grind your flax seeds, you need to use them in your drinks or food soon after grinding so they don't lose their nutritive value.
Even though Nutri Flax, ground up flax seed, is packaged so the flax seeds don't see light or oxygen, what happens...

It is tightly compressed and the center ball is pale green.Loose-leaf lettuce forms a rosette of tender green leaves.
Stores sell it as Oakleaf, Ruby (because the leaves are tinged with red), or Salad Bowl.Butterhead lettuce has a softly compressed head with green outer leaves and pale green to yellow inner leaves. It falls under the market names of Buttercrunch, Dark Green Boston, Tender-Crisp, Deer Tongue, and Summer Bibb.Head lettuce - 15 foot row yields about 15 heads of lettuceLoose-leaf lettuce - 15 foot row yields about 2-1/2 lbs. of produce Butterhead lettuce - 15 foot row yields about 15 headsRomaine lettuce forms a vase shape and has a tightly compressed...
