Medical Medium’s Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie is a great smoothie to include into our smoothie rotation. We are all human and exposed to heavy metals on the daily. This smoothie helps detox those heavy metals from our bodies. An excess of heavy metals disrupts our hormones, our mood, causes brain fog, Alzheimer’s, anxiety, depression, ADHD, eczema and so much more. It’s crazy how much havoc heavy metals have on our bodies. The ingredients in this smoothie help detox this heavy metal overload.
MEDICAL MEDIUM’S HEAVY METAL DETOX SMOOTHIE RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
2 bananas
2 cups frozen wild blueberries
1 cup cilantro
1 TBSP Atlantic dulse
juice from 1 orange with 1/2 -1 cup of water or 1 cup of orange juice (make sure it’s oranges only)
1 tsp barley grass juice powder
1 tsp spirulina
INSTRUCTIONS
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender. If you want a thinner consistency, add up to 1 cup of filtered water or more fresh orange juice.
RIANE’S TIDBITS:
The 5 ingredients that help pull the heavy metals out are wild blueberries, cilantro, barley grass juice powder, spirulina powder, and Atlantic dulse. You can read about each ingredient here.
Include as many of these heavy metal busting ingredients as you can, but it’s ok if you don’t have everything all of the time. Many times I don’t have cilantro on hand. I’m still getting 4 other important ingredients in my smoothie.
If you don’t love the taste of cilantro, start with a small amount and see if you can handle that. If not, skip it all together and include everything else.
I often make this wild blueberry banana smoothie (my spin off of this smoothie) with ginger. It also doesn’t have cilantro in it though. Find a mix that works for you with as many of the 5 important ingredients as possible. I also add in frozen sweet cherries to the mix too.
If you have never had spirulina, barley grass juice powder, and Atlantic dulse before, you may want to start out with smaller amounts than the recipe calls for and work your way up. You could always start with one at a time until you don’t notice the taste, and then add in another one.
The orange juice helps cut through the Atlantic dulse salty taste a bit. I think the addition of ginger and frozen sweet cherries help too.
I stick to this exact recipe when I am doing one of Medical Medium’s cleanses though. His cleanses are found in his Cleanse to Heal Book shown below. Read and watch a video of my latest cleanse here.
