APPLE NACHOS Are the Perfect Fall Snack

Published on by Lee1 Comment

An easy, delicious, and healthy snack? Check, check, and check.

And we’re dropping the deets.

Nikki Kovacs of My Sweet Belly is all about whole foods and healthy living, and her apple nachos recipe is the perfect gateway snack to clean eating. With just one apple, some seed butter, a sprinkle of chocolate chips, and a drizzle of honey, you’re on your way to a yummy and filling afternoon.

A couple of tips: For those watching their glucose levels, opt for agave instead of honey. If you’re eating a raw diet, swap out the chocolate chips for cacao nibs.

Now let’s get into it.

Recreate Miranda Kerr’s viral acai smoothie

Published on by Lee1 Comment

If you want to have super glowy skin like Miranda Kerr’s, what are you waiting for to recreate her viral acai smoothie?

Once again, Los Angeles supermarket Erewhon Market announced a collaboration with one of our favorite celebs, Miranda Kerr. The model’s new drink is an acai smoothie, rich in antioxidants and with a boost of collagen. 

Erewhon launched her first collab last year, a coconut strawberry smoothie in conjunction with Hailey Bieber, and then Bella Hadid joined the trend with her version of mango, banana, and orange.

If you were wondering why you should recreate this drink, acai is one of the berries with more properties in nature. In addition to stimulating energy, it will help strengthen your immune system and fight aging. We pass you the recipe so you can make this smoothie and include it in your breakfasts or as your post-workout drink.

TikTok Viral MATCHA LATTE Recipe

Published on by Lee1 Comment

Aside from a source of caffeine (sans the jitters), green tea has powerful mind, body, and beauty benefits like fighting inflammation and protecting your body against aging (thanks to vitamins B and E, it boosts collagen production), and it has shown to boost your metabolism to burn fat as energy quicker. Need more convincing to add the green powder into your daily routine? Below is how we make our matcha tea latte at home.

WHAT IS MATCHA?

Matcha powder is made up of ground-up green tea leaves. Instead of brewing a cup of tea with tea leaves, this is ground-up leaves that dissolve into warm/hot water. If you ever have the privilege of visiting Kyoto, Japan, be sure to go to a tea house and be sure to buy some beautiful matcha green tea powder for the road. The packets make great gifts and can be used to make this warm matcha latte or an iced matcha latte!

Though there’s not much that goes into making matcha tea, we have perfected how each of us takes our latte. It’s a staple at our home and in our BeautyLeeBar editorial meetings. The first time we had it, we immediately asked for the recipe and exact matcha and syrup. The almond milk and organic maple syrup make it slightly sweet (not too sweet though), and we serve them in these mugs—it’s such a treat, and now we are hooked on whipping one up every morning.

Matcha is loaded in antioxidants, it helps boost metabolism, naturally energizing, and it’s high in ECGC, which is helpful in reducing inflammation, fighting the development of acne bacteria, and evening skin tone ✨ You can also sub the almond milk for oat milk or coconut milk. #matcha #matchabenefits #matchalatte #matchalatterecipe #easymatchalatte #coffeesubstitute #naturalcaffeine #pcosrecipes #acnerecipes #pcosdiet #acnediet #womenshealth #clearskintips #healthyrecipes #skintiktok #foodtiktok
