Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie

I’ve adapted this recipe from Medical Medium, where you can deep dive into the health benefits of this recipe. This smoothie is not only delicious, it's also perfectly designed to include five key ingredients that work together in synergy to pull heavy metals like mercury, lead, aluminum, nickel, copper, and cadmium out of your organs where they accumulate. 

Ingredients

- 2 bananas

- 2 cups frozen or fresh wild blueberries (or 2 ounces pure wild blueberry juice, or 2 tablespoons pure wild blueberry powder)

- 1 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro

- 1 teaspoon barley grass juice powder

- 1 teaspoon spirulina

- 1 tablespoon Atlantic dulse (or 2 dropperfuls Atlantic dulse liquid)

- 1 orange, juiced

- 1/2 cup frozen dragonfruit

- 1 tablespoon cacao nibs

- 1⁄2 to 1 cup water, coconut water, or additional fresh-squeezed orange juice (optional)

Method

1. In a high-speed blender, combine all ingredients except the cacao nibs.

2. Blend until smooth. If a thinner consistency is desired, add up to 1 cup of water, coconut water, or additional orange juice.

3. Pour the smoothie into a bowl.

4. Sprinkle cacao nibs on top for added crunch and nutrition.

5. Enjoy immediately.

Each ingredient in this smoothie bowl plays a crucial role in the detoxification process:

1. Wild Blueberries: Draw out heavy metals from brain tissue and repair oxidative damage.

2. Cilantro: Extracts deep-seated metals from hard-to-reach places.

3. Spirulina: Pulls heavy metals from the brain, central nervous system, and liver.

4. Barley Grass Juice Powder: Prepares metals for absorption by spirulina and removes metals from various organs.

5. Atlantic Dulse: Binds to mercury and other metals, ensuring their elimination from the body.

6. Bananas: Provide creaminess, potassium, and support heart and brain health.

7. Dragonfruit: Adds extra antioxidants and supports immune health.

8. Cacao Nibs: Offer a crunchy texture while providing flavonoids and magnesium.

9. Orange Juice: Enhances flavor and provides vitamin C for better nutrient absorption.

By regularly enjoying this delicious and nutrient-dense smoothie bowl, you're taking a proactive step towards reducing your body's heavy metal burden. This can potentially lead to improved cognitive function, enhanced energy levels, better digestive health, and a strengthened immune system.
