Recipe

- Cook the red rice in a large volume of boiling water. Let it cool.

Beauty Food checklist:

Avocado: This superfood contains plenty of good, heart-protective fats (like oleic acid, which raises good cholesterol) and little saturated fat. It's rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant, and vitamin K, which regulates blood sugar. It's also a source of fiber, essential for healthy digestion.

Red rice : It gets its beautiful color from the skin that surrounds the grain. This skin is rich in fiber, vitamin B6 (which contributes to normal energy metabolism, the functioning of the nervous and immune systems) and antioxidants.

Mango: Rich in polyphenols and vitamin C (our antioxidant allies) as well as beta carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, which plays an essential role in vision and cell renewal.
