The detox macaroon

Posted Apr 10, 2009

Camille Lesecq, head pastry chef at Le Meurice in Paris proves that detox doesn't have to mean deprivation. Her new detox macaroons are made of green tea and candied pink grapefruit cream. How exactly are these treats be good for you?

Grapefruit contains vitamin C and polyphenols that protect against pesky free radicals and green tea contains theobromine, a molecule that stimulates the kidneys. At any rate it’s a good excuse to have high tea opposite the Tuileries in the Meurice’s Dali restaurant. Oh, if you are gearing up for summer and on a strict bikini diet they’re selling a calorie-free macaroon-shaped USB stick.
