Hi my lovelies, how was your Monday? I hope you made it through with finesse and calm. I had a whirlwind of a weekend in Sado Island, a beautiful, lush island off the coast of Niigata (northeast of Tokyo). It was a friend’s hen party so a big group of us girls went up on a bullet train to celebrate it with her.

As with all indulgent weekends, I felt the need to give my skin some extra love so I whipped out my greens and fruit from my fridge and made one of my all-time faves: a cell renewal juice.

I always juice one or two cucumbers when my skin is dull from too little sleep and too much fun. Some people may feel icky about drinking cucumber juice but this recipe will knock your socks off.

Recipe (in a high-speed blender):
1 cucumber
1 apple
½ lime
1 big handful of mint leaves
2 cups of water
1 spoonful of Meiji Amino Collagen Apple & Ginger

Strain the juice away from the pulp with a nut milk bag, or cheesecloth, or baking sieve. Pour into a glass of ice and serve.

This juice makes me feel like I’m drinking a mojito without the bad stuff (alcohol….). It’s also perfect for a quiet girls’ night in. Kampai (cheers in Japanese)!
