Ingredients
1 pint of strawberries
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. 100% pure honey
- In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. I ate mine with a dark green mixed salad, sliced almonds and fresh strawberries. It was yummy!
Strawberries: Strawberries are known to alleviate inflammation. They are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, folic acid, fiber and antioxidants. Consuming high amounts of fruits and vegetables is also good for skin conditions.
Apple Cider Vinegar: High cholesterol is known to cause inflammation. Apple cider vinegar not only helps regulate blood pressure, but also helps balance cholesterol. Apple cider vinegar also has anti-bacterial properties which can help clear up skin conditions.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oils have a phytonutrient called oleocanthal. Studies have shown this natural phenolic compound reduces inflammation. Extra virgin olive oils are also rich in antioxidants.
Honey: Honey contains antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease. Honey also helps the body regulate blood sugar levels.
