“Looking after my body today gives me better HOPE for tomorrow”
Anne Wilson Schael
One of our HOPE Principles is E for Eating Well, Exercise and Ecotherapy! In my recipe book, The Beauty of Eating Well, I share how I realised the way to live a happy and full life, I needed to live a life beyond eczema and part of that was eating food from a place of joy.
The foods in my book bring me real joy because they are colourful, flavoursome, nutritious, wholesome, full me with energy and make my skin GLOW.
In today’s blog post I wanted to share with you 3 Juices For Glowing Skin. All three of these recipes as well as many more can be found in my book which you can purchase here.
Green glow
Prep Time 5 mins Equipment Juicer
A green glowing juice is an essential in my world. This is a juice that I make on a regular basis due to the simplicity of the ingredients. Enjoy.
Serves 2
(around 400ml)
½ x Cucumber
2 x Apples
2 x Celery Stalks
1 x Lime (skin removed)
25g (small piece) of Ginger
Trim all the ingredients so they can fit through the juicer.
Put through the juicer and serve.
Alkaline Me Up
Prep Time 5 mins Equipment Juicer
As the name suggests, this is a juice full of greens which have an alkalising effect on the body. Research suggests disease can’t survive in an alkaline state, so if you fancy an immune boost this is the juice for you.
Serves 2

2 x Celery Stalks
½ x Cucumber
½ x Broccoli Head
100g x Asparagus Stems
1 x lemon, juiced.
Trim all the ingredients so they can fit through the juicer.
Put through the juicer and serve.

Tropical fruits are my favourite kind of fruits! This drink has a lovely kick of aloe vera too, which makes it cooling and cleansing. It works wonders for your skin!

25g/10z of kale
Handful of mint, leaves picked
