Cleansing Cocktails
"Stress Reliever" and "Bloat Away" aren't result-oriented spa treatments. At COMO Shambhala Estate at Begawan Giri in Bali, they're health-boosting beverages from the spa's speciality juice menu. The menu features 20 targeted (and whimsically named) juices that blend local fresh fruit and vegetables with herbs, such as fennel and parsley (great for digestion) to delicious effect. Created by the Estate's resident nutritionist, Amyjo Johnson, and executive chef Chris Miller, the juices are created "with health and taste in mind," emphasises Monica Barter, group operations director for COMO Shambhala. Here are three of the spa's most popular recipes.
