Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth The Olivia Arezzolo Way
For those of us with a severe case of the sweet tooth, when the sugar cravings kick in, staying strong is about as hard as running a marathon. Before we know it, we are filling up on empty calories, only to experience a sugar high followed by an all time sugar low. But what if you could satisfy those cravings with a decedant smoothie, sans the guilt that comes with eating junk. In comes Olivia Arezzolo to the rescue with her wickely delicious creamy coconut smoothie recipe.
"Coconut and banana - match made in heaven right? Flavour of the month coconut is so popular for good reason: its packed full of minerals which strengthen your collagen - which we all know is needed for smooth, radiant skin. It’s packed with heart healthy fats, helping heart function and allowing absorption of our other vitamins - so by adding fat, you can actually improve the body’s ability to suck out vitamins (A, D, E and K to be specific) from the other ingredients in the smoothie - all hail coconut!"
