Blending Buddy

Welcome to another edition of "Blending Buddy", where I share with you some blending recipes! These recipes are for those who want to lead a healthier lifestyle or maintain one. This week's edition is called the "Be A Star"!!

• 1/3 star fruit, sliced
• 1 broccoli mini-stalk
• 1 small ginger root, sliced
• 1 apple juice
• 1/2 beet, sliced

Now before consuming this drink, be warned: DO NOT DRINK THIS IF YOUR KIDNEYS AREN'T AT A HEALTHY LEVEL. You can develop symptoms such as hiccups, nausea, convulsions (Which occur within between one to five hours), and insomnia. Star fruit, or carambola, also has tons of oxalic acid, which can accumulate in the kidneys and has another unknown substance that can damage your nerves.

But what about the benefits of star fruit? For "star"-ters, star fruit is low in calories, which makes it optimal for helping someone's journey in losing weight. Star fruit is also high in Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.
