Apple Banana Smoothie

SmoothieImage via Wikipedia
Today I am discussing a juice recipe which I like very much. This apple banana smoothie is very soothing especially in hot season. You can use this recipe as smoothie or juice. Apple and banana is a best combination for a smoothie and it is of great taste. By adding orange make it a vitamin rich formula. If served with ice definitely it becomes smoothie-soothing.

Apple Banana Smoothie
Green apples 2
Orange 1/2
Ripe banana 1
Brewers yeast 1 tbsp.



Cut apples into small pieces. No need to remove seeds. Peel the orange and remove seeds. Then put apple pieces and peeled orange in a mixer/grinder and make the juice. I do not prefer juicer because it remove all fleshy part and give only liquid juice. By using a mixer it mashes the fruits. After that use a loose sieve to take the juice. Then put this juice, banana and yeast in a blender and make the smoothie. If you prefer to get juice then take only half banana and add a little water if needed.

If garnish Apple Banana Smoothie with slices of orange is good. Remember to add ice pieces and have it immediately. Or the ice cubes may become water and diminish the taste of the smoothie.

  4. A refreshing warm bath in rose petals

Step 1. You can use any oil of your choice. Olive oil or coconut oil or almond oil. If you are using any particular oil select that oil. My personal choice is almond oil. Give a light oiling only, because a thorough body oil massage is not our goal now. Give a ten min. time for oil to get into the skin.

Step 2. Sandalwood powder-papaya pack. Mash a few pieces of ripe papaya in a mixer. Get this paste in a bowl. Add one tsp. of white sandalwood powder and mix well to get a smooth paste. Apply this sandal body pack all over body. Wait for 10-15 min.

Step 3. We need 5 tsp. green gram flour. Add a little water to get a thick mix. Use this mix to rub your body. Give a gentle rub. This will remove dead cells and cleanse the excess oil from body.

Step 3. Refreshing warm bath. Fill the bath tub with warm water, not hot water. Add few rose petals to this bathing water and wait for 5 min. Or instead of rose petals, use lemon and orange peels. For that boil these peels in a cup of water and pour into the bathing water. Adding neem leaves is also a good choice. Or you can use few drops of rose oil or sandal oil. Take a luxurious bath. Feel the amusing moment giving by this beauty bath for beautiful skin.
