Spinach Banana Health Drink {Health Recipe}

the ingredients mentioned makes half a drink-sized glass
So, this is a long pending post. I had prepared this when I was at home in June. I won't say it was damn awesome or something but yes, it was definitely not bad. Let's check out the ingredients first. And, then, talk about it.

Ingredients
  • 10 spinach leaves
  • 1/2 banana
  • water (just a bit)
Method: Blend them in a mixer. That's it!!

Taste: Ok, I am sure not everyone would like it coz it has that raw leaf taste of the spinach. But, I don't mind that raw taste so I totally loved it. But, mom said that spinach leaves are first blanched and then made into the smoothie so shall give that variation a try. You can try it out as well :)

Have you ever tried any such drink?

Spinach - Lettuce Juice for Luxurious Hair

Nutrition is one of the most important necessities for having a luxurious head of hair. See this post for a detailed list of six foods which will not only help your hair grow but also cuts down hair loss and improves the quality and texture of your hair.

Along with these foods, you can accompany your meal with a drink which will help fulfilling your nutrition. Spinach - Lettuce Juice. Every day in the morning or evening, drink a glass of this drink. 

How to make the drink?
Ingredients: 
- 1 bunch spinach leaves
- 1 bunch lettuce (Salad Patta or Kasmisaag) leaves (can be substituted with cabbage)
- 1 lemon
- other spices

Method:
- Wash the leaves properly first.
- If using a juicer, slice the lemon and put it int he juicer along with the leaves.
- If using a mixi or a grinder, grind the leaves properly and put the mixture in a cheese cloth or a muslin sieve and squeeze the complete juice out. Squeeze a little lemon juice for a tangy flavor and you can add any spices if you feel like. I would suggest black pepper as it is also good for hair and gives a spicy flavor to the drink. You can make a mask of the left over leaves paste or use them as a garnish on your salad or any dish. 
- Drink a whole glass of juice everyday.
