It’s technically not summer in California anymore. I can feel some crispness in the air, but the days are still warm. I thought I’d share a smoothie for those last hot days.

I find people online asking about how to detox. Don’t make it difficult on yourself. Medical Medium’s protocol is tangible. You’ll need a juicer for the celery, but the rest you can find at the health food store.

I finally collected all the items needed for Medical Medium’s Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie. I didn’t think I would find frozen wild blueberries so easily in the freezer section of my health food store. And they weren’t any more expensive than any other frozen fruit. Finding Atlantic dulse wasn’t difficult either. It just was on its own twirly rack. I have not eaten it by itself, but I can’t taste it in the smoothie.

Pines wheat and barley grass powders are great to add to water or smoothies every day or on the go. It’s an easy way to get your greens.

Spirulina isn’t as tasty as barley grass, but a little goes a long way. The reason why I like spirulina is because it decalcifies the third eye better known as your pineal gland in the center of your brain. Try a teaspoon of spirulina in your smoothies or salad dressing and see if you think clearer, sleep better, and feel happier.

I didn’t follow the recipe exactly because it has a lot of cilantro. Definitely chop up the cilantro or you’ll end up with pieces of stem which is not appetizing.

I learned I can use an orange and water to make juice needed for a smoothie. Oranges stay fresh for a long time. I like the idea I can make fresh juice quickly.

You can drink the detox smoothie the same days you drink celery juice. You will definitely detox. In Celery Juice by Anthony William, he recommends to start your morning by drinking 32-ounces of lemon or lime water. Then 15 to 30 minutes later drink 16-ounces of celery juice. After 15 to 30 minutes, drink the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie. William says to avoid dairy, eggs, gluten, corn, soy, pork, nutritional yeast, canola oil, natural flavors, vinegar, and fermented foods as you are cleansing.
