Teresa’s Detox Drink – “To take out the Garbage”

Teresa’s Detox Drink

Please take a look at this fantastic smoothy recipe. This was shared by my auntie and is a go to for me when I am looking to do a cleanse! I add what ever fruit I am craving for the day (strawberries, mango, or berries).

“This is my aunt's recipe and this is her own views on health. Not to be taken as medical advice. Use at your own discretion.”

In blender add in order:

• 1 cup of frozen or/ fresh Organic blue berries
• 1 banana, fresh or frozen (peeled of course) if you don’t want it this sweet just omit or use only ½ of a banana.
• 1 cup of water (pure is best)

Blend- while running add the following:

• 1 Tbsp. Bentonite
• 1 Tbsp. Flax oil (cold press is best)
• 1 dropper full of Chlorophyll concentre
• 1 quick shake of cayenne pepper

Stop blender and add:

1 scoop of Protein powder (I use Iso Gold Plain which is 100% pure Whey Isolate)

1-2 Tbsp. fresh ground flax seed or/ bran or/ oat bran

Start blender and blend only until mixed.

(If you over mix, the flax seed will start to gel your drink and than you have a pudding.)

Pour and enjoy at home or on the run.

Notes:

- Flax seeds will scrub your colon wall from top to bottom and allow you to up take your nutrients better. Flax seeds can be pre ground in a coffee grinder and stored in the freezer. Once the seed is cracked it begins to go rancid once the air hits it, as do all seeds and grains. Think fresh!

- Flax oil should always be sold out of a fridge and stored in a fridge once brought home. Rancid, remember. Never, never heat this oil it is to be used raw and when heated become carcinogenic. Flax oil is one of the most powerful anti-cancer nutrients available to us.

-Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and are thought to help protect the body against the damaging effects of free radicals and the chronic diseases associated with the aging process. Use organic, as berries are the most heavily pesticides sprayed fruits you can buy.

- Bentonite is clay. When this clay absorbs water it swells up and stretches open and act like a sponge. Toxins, pathogenic viruses, herbicides and will be absorbed. Buy at the health food store.

-Chlorophyll is the de-gasser of your colon. Your small intestines will love all that great green plant food that is in a form that is ready to use with no work involved. Buy at a health food store. It is sold in a small glass bottle with an eyedropper. Store in fridge..

-Cayenne pepper: A study published in the late 1990’s in a British journal indicates Cayenne may help boost metabolism while suppressing appetite. Cayenne pepper as well has shown to lower stress-related fatigue and depression

Cayenne can rebuild the tissue in the stomach and the peristaltic action in the intestines.  It aids elimination and assimilation, and helps the body to create hydrochloric acid, which is so necessary for good digestion and assimilation, especially of proteins.
