Detox Smoothie

I get a lot of questions about safe approaches to supporting children through gentle detoxes. The original recipe is from the Medical Mediums heavy metal detox recipe here. This recipe has been modified for dosing for your little one.

Nerd out time…

This recipe includes spirulina and barley grass. Spirulina is an algae that is high in vitamin A, C, E, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium. Spirulina helps to support the detox organ, the liver, and contains chlorophyll which assists in removing metals from the blood. Barley grass is spirulina’s partner in crime as it promotes spirulina’s detox potential. Barley grass also assists in detoxing the spleen and supports the thyroid. It protects the body from free radicals- molecules that damage our DNA, proteins and cell membranes. Thus, it protects against chronic disease, it is antidiabetic, anticancer, anti inflammation, and it is an antioxidant. Wow, what a powerhouse!

Recipe:

1/4 cup blueberries

1/2 banana

1/2 green apple

1/4 cup cilantro

1/4 tsp barley grass

1/4 tsp spirulina

1 cup coconut water

Blend all ingredients together and enjoy!
