Glowing Green Juice

February 11, 2018 By Kristen O'Brien 1 Comment

I have gotten a few private messages over the last weeks asking what I use on my skin. If you watch my instagram Stories, I showcased a few of my product must-haves. This juice is one of  my secrets.  I truly believe that beautiful, clear skin starts with nutrition. Healthy eating, and feeding your skin from the inside out is the major contributor to glowing skin.

This juice is great to jumpstart your nutrition, detox after an indulgent weekend, and boost the immune system during cold and flu season. There are many combinations but like this one best. Play with it. Add more apple, or cucumber.  I sometimes add fresh parsley or a few strawberries if I have them. A cube of fresh pineapple is great, or even a banana!

You are what you eat, right?

Chef Kristen O’Brien

I love to eat. You see, I’m Portugese and Italian. Growing up, we were constantly around food. That cultural influence led me to making mudpies in my Grandma’s backyard and running some of the greatest lemonade stands ever. After art school, and a short career as a teacher, not surprisingly I ended up in culinary school. Now I am a professional pastry chef, but also consider myself an artist and a writer—not to mention my full-time job as a beloved wife and proud mother to four children.

I’m fairly social and friendly, but don’t get me going on the best oyster I have ever eaten or the smell of a french baguette, because I will talk your ear off. I love butter, lemons, homemade pasta, steamed littleneck clams and good wine. I love to oil paint, play tennis, hike, and ski and spend time with my husband and kiddos (rumor has it, I’m a great roller skater too).

One of my most favorite things to do is create food in my red Aga oven: “Le Red Oven”. Along the way, I’ve started to document my creations and, well, here we are. Join me as I create healthy, seasonal, whole food for my family, friends and myself. Thanks for reading and welcome! Read More…
