BEAUTY
WHAT IS BEAUTY WATER?
Its an elegant and simple blend designed as a refreshingaddition to green smoothies. I created it to increase hydration, conquercravings, replace mindless eating and deliver the texture of juice with thefiber of green smoothies. The only tool needed to create Beauty Water is ablender. You dont need an expensive or highspeed blender because waterwith small amounts of greens and fruit doesnt require a turbo motor to blendsmooth.
I call these simple blends Beauty Water because they infuseyou with the prerequisites of feeling and looking beautiful without the extrememeasures of a denial diet, detoxification or cleanse. And also because theingredients themselves are beautiful in color, taste, texture, shape, aroma andwater. They bring you hydration, vitamins, minerals, fiber and in many of thewaters, chlorophyll. These are beautybuilding essentials in a doable andinexpensive beverage.
Our blood is 83% water and our muscles are 75% water. Ourbrain is 74% water and our bones are 22% water. We are mostly made of water. Healthprofessionals and doctors consistently recommend we increase our clean waterintake for optimal health. And healthy is beautiful. Yet many of us decline todo so because we find water boring and prefer drinking other beverages. BeautyWater comes to the rescue as it is designed to help you choose water as yourmain beverage and thirst quencher. The addition of Beauty Water to mygreensdrinkinglife has delivered smoother skin, more positivemoods and attitude, better elimination and increased energy and mental clarity.If you want to feel renewed, rinsed and refreshed drink Beauty Water. The stateof being in an ongoing, gentle cleanse, so that you dont have to partake in adeprivation diet that may harm you, feels good. Pour clean water into your blenderand add bits of greens and fruit. Blend, sip, beautify.
In this sequel to Green Smoothie Habit I celebrate feelingbeautiful from within. Outer beauty fades as we age but our inner beautyremains with us through this life and into eternity. Our beautiful characteris, indeed, what we are judged upon. Drinking your greens doesnt alone buildyour strong and beautiful character but maintaining the good habit contributesmightily, as drinking greens is a discipline like any otherselfimprovement plan. The definitions of beauty that I found in an olddictionary from 1828 (American Dictionary of the English Language by NoahWebster) resonated with me. They went beyond definitions of outward beauty andincluded intrinsic beauty and the beauty of utility, the beauty of a thought ora sound and beauty as an assemblage of graces. These are the qualities I seekwhen I speak of beauty. Will Beauty Water as I have offered create or ensurethese qualities in us? Not by itself, but its a contribution and a step in thedirection of filling our lives with living water rather than dead.
I first made Beauty Water recipes on camera on my YouTubechannel and included them on GreenSmoothieHabit.com. Then I offered my BeautyWater formula on pages 240241 of Green Smoothie Habit, Drink Your GreensTo Achieve Your Dreams 28 Day Success Guide:
Theres more than one way to feed your green smoothie habit.Why not include my Beauty Waters? I provide many Beauty Water blends atGreenSmoothieHabit.com.
I created Beauty Water as an alternative greens drink forthose concerned with sugar and carbohydrate intake, for those who want a changefrom thick smoothies and for those who want a craving killing, greensdelivering, lumen igniting beverage, not a meal replacement. Water is the baseinstead of fruit and the amount of greens is reduced.
Beauty Water also solves the juicing versus blending question.It doesnt have to be either/or. Why not combine juicing and blending? BeautyWater does just that. My Beauty Water blends retain the fiber of greensmoothies and the texture of juice and can be made in a blender. Theres noneed to buy an additional appliance such as an expensive juicer.
Sweeteners are optional in Beauty Water. A pitted date,drizzle of honey, or small piece of fruit all work, but are not required. Havesome leftover greens? Blend, sip and beautify. Try a squeeze of lemon, lime ororange juice for zing. My simple Beauty Water Formula works every time.
And now for your convenience Im bringing you refined andupdated Beauty Water recipes. I crafted Beauty Water to taste mild andpleasant, not too green and not too sweet so as not to excite your appetite ortrigger sugar cravings. I have kept the amounts of fruit low to keep the sugarcontent low and not spike blood sugar levels, to keep the calorie count low soyou are free to sip no matter what your diet, be it belief based, a cleanse ordetoxification program, gluten free, low fat, low carbohydrate, Mediterranean,Paleolithic, raw food, vegan, vegetarian, everythingarian or weight loss. Yet Ihave not forgotten our sweet tooth and have included a couple of calming treatsfor when you just have to have them.
Think of Beauty Water as a complement and addition to greensmoothies, always there for you, taking its rightful place in the greensdrinking culture. If you are a greensdrinkinglifer like I am orwould like to become one, then you will need the variety in taste and texturethat Beauty Water provides.
TRANSITION
Another benefit of Beauty Water is its ability to help youtransition fromhighsugarchemicalcaffeinenegativesideeffectsbeveragesto drinking water. The mild flavors I have created are made to help you trainyour taste buds away from expecting sweetness in your beverages to expectinghydration and to knowing the difference. The place that Beauty Water can takein your life is to help you choose water as your main beverage and do it in away that adds flavor and fiber. You may think youre hungry when youre reallythirsty. Theres no way to know for sure except in that instance to drink waterinstead of eating. Maybe you can avoid overeating by sipping Beauty Water. Sayso long to sugar cravings and mindless eating and hello to hydration andhappiness.
ALKALINITY
Fresh fruit and greens always top the list of alkaline foodsand diets, recommendations for better health, mindset, aging and diseaseprevention. Alkaline foods are calming and neutral and create an environment ofhealth and not harm when we consume them. I know from experience that I feelgood when I consume fresh fruits and vegetables. I am able to maintain apositive attitude, peristaltic pleasantness and a cheerful outlook more easilywhen I consume water and Beauty Water, green smoothies and plant food.
