Going Green: Beauty by Food

With my increasing passion for plant-based foods, I have really started focusing on specific foods and what health properties they have. I have found a really great book called Beauty Detox Foods by Kimberly Snyder. This is Ms Snyder’s second nutrition book. In this specific book, she goes through many whole foods and discusses beauty properties of each food. Then she gives you over 80 recipes to get started on your “beauty detox.” I like this book because it helps you understand your body and what nutrients you need to really be glowing and healthy. I have been drinking her Glowing Green Smoothie every morning and I already feel rejuvenated. Here is a video how to make it!

What is really most important about this concept is that you are getting all the nutrients you need. The whole book is based around whole, plant-based foods. Most of the recipes are quite simple and I had most of the food in my kitchen already! I also really love that most of her recipes allow creativity and substitutions. For example, in the smoothies, you can add whatever fruit you’d like based on preference. It’s SO important that we not only start eating a plant-based diet, but also that we are getting healthy along the way. Too many Americans are DYING from diet alone. By being in tune with your body, you put yourself in control. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be a time consuming process either. Here is another video showing quick and easy to-go lunch options:

Check out her book if you get a chance. If not, just remember to continue eating your veggies and going green!
