play with your food – scalp smoothie

hi crunchies! comin at ya today with a super cool hair smoothie that can also be eaten. yes. yes, you did read that correctly. who said we couldn’t play with our food?

at this point, i don’t think can refute my need to diy and multitask…

each ingredient helps to hydrate and nourish your scalp, as well as your body.

this recipe is enough for 1 scalp application and 1 consumable smoothie.

• 1/2 cucumber – high in silica and water content; hydrates and boosts shine
• small handful of spinach – rich in biotin; building block for hair/skin/nails and encourages growth
• 1/2 inch ginger – contains essential vitamins that promote hair growth
• 1/2 cup papaya – high in vitamin C; hydrates scalp and nourishes follicles to prevent excess shedding
• 1/2 cup blueberries – rich in bioflavanoids; promotes circulation and boosts shine
• 1/2 cup strawberries – rich in biotin and vitamins; nourishes scalp and encourages growth

blend all ingredients together. apply mix to scalp and allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes. immediately consume the leftovers, if desired.

note 1 – i used fresh fruit so water wasn’t needed to get it to blend.
note 2 – blueberries could temporarily stain your scalp if you’re especially pale (holla) but it easily rinses out.

enjoy your double-duty smoothie!
