Whip It!

Being a rollergirl is no easy job … skating in 100+ LV heat, hard hitting blockers, rink rash,  fishnet burn… sometimes I need a little help dialing it all the way up to Fabulous.

Several months ago I did the 4-day Facelift Cleanse found in Super Cleanse: Detox Your Body for Long-Lasting Health and Beauty.

My variation on this quick and easy smoothie is one of my go to recipes when I need a quick pick me up and want to avoid that can of soda, second cup of coffee or energy drink. For the record, Super Cleanse is NOT one of those lemon and hot sauce diets, I recommend this book to anyone who has healthy eating habit and needs a jump start after a booze and fast-food filled vacation or holiday weekend OR anyone who wants to kick the junk food habit cold turkey and needs a detox to get them started. There are over a dozen different cleanses tailored to your goals, health and experience with raw foods.

For that extra whip!
