Don't you love it when the best things happen by accident? I was making some almond milk for a smoothie last week and ended up with the most luxurious body scrub as well.

Two for one, I love that!

So just for you… here it is,

Almond Banana Smoothie & Almond Yoghurt Body Scrub combo!

Almond Banana Smoothie

What you will need;

½ cup raw almonds

2 cups water

2 bananas

1 teaspoon honey

Extra water for soaking almonds

Night before

Peel and freeze 2 bananas overnight

Soak almonds in a bowl of water overnight (this activates the almonds to become live)

In the morning

Pour off water from almonds

Add almonds to blender along with 2 cups of water

Blend for 2 minutes

Pour blended mixture through a muslin cloth or strainer and press out ‘milk’ into a container

Put the pulp from the almonds in a bowl, cover and set aside in the fridge until you want to make your body scrub.

Add milk back into blender

Add 2 frozen bananas and honey to taste

Blend until smooth consistency (if it is too thick add water during blending)

Pour into a glass and enjoy this ‘live food’ kick start to your day

Almond Yoghurt Body Scrub

2 tablespoons of pulp from almonds

Enough natural yoghurt to make a smooth paste (approx 1 tablespoon)

Mix into a paste

Have a bath or shower to soften skin

Smooth paste onto face gently and leave it on as you work over your body

Use circular motions to gently scrub your skin beginning at the feet

Finally usually very light circular movements, massage paste into your face

Rinse off in the shower and apply a thick body butter or cream

You will have super soft gleaming skin.

Here’s to your blissful soul,
