Heavenly blends...

Lately, to help my constipation and IBS problems (that were temporarily relieved with my one week stint in the Penan jungles which included downing loads of freshly hand-picked jungle vegetables/ferns/fruits along with a little wild boar! - Couldn't believe how 'regular' I was on my mission trip - I am quite convinced that jungle-life is healthy for me now), Ben's mum often makes sure that I fill up on the fiber - by blending different kinds of fruits (along with their fibers) together and topping the puree/juices off with a spoonful of psyllium husks each time...

(thank God for wonderful mothers!!! :D)

In the past few days, we have been experimenting with cool combinations of fruits... Mmm... It was both fun and exciting to taste a new fibrous + nutritious invention every day. The day before, we combined passion fruit, grapes, orange, strawberries and apples. Yesterday the avocado, grapes, strawberries and green apples went into the blender together...

It was awesome.

I have indeed a full appreciation for God's creation of natural remedies for constipation, detox, beauty and all kinds of health boo-boos. They work better than chemically prepared concoctions, me thinks...

Also treasuring the precious moments with Ben's mum.
