Detox smoothie recipes all work the same way, by helping to flush heavy metals and environmental toxins out your system using high doses of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but a lot of them are unnecessarily complicated and don’t taste that good.
But, detox smoothie recipes really do work. I had a friend of mine who said no to the chemo and cured her breast cancer by drinking regular detox smoothies containing kale, wheatgrass, pineapples, apples, anything high in actual nutrition, basically.
Rather than taking a bunch of pharmaceutical drugs, she just slammed a bunch of whole food nutrition and let her body do the rest.
I’m a big believer in the philosophy that the body heals itself when you give it the nutrients and building blocks it needs.
I used to watch my chiropractor do it all the time by target-feeding his patients whole food nutrition that helped them to detox from chemicals and toxins in the environment (this was when I used to work there). He had patients that were healed of brain cancer and everything. I saw it!
He once explained it to me like this. He said that cancer is the body’s way of quarantining off and protecting itself from foreign substances. The body creates a mass of cells around a toxin (or an organ bogged down with toxins) in an attempt to try to stop it from effecting surrounding tissues, but at a certain point, when the body can no longer stop that from happening because there’s too much of it, the cancer cells metastasize, leading to death.
So, the answer is to detox the body of these toxins, that way your body can function optimally again and won’t revert to creating masses of irregular cells to try to quarantine off certain areas.
If you think what I’m saying is out there, consider the fact that everything I’ve laid out here has been said before by the likes of Weston A. Price and the Weston A. Price Foundation years ago, as well as Kevin Trudeau, who was author of the best-selling book, Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About, which literally kicked off the natural health movement and helped popularize the concept of ‘organic’ produce, Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s in the early to mid 2000’s.
And, if you really want to know how messed up the world is, a judge sentenced Trudeau to 10 years in federal prison for criminal contempt claiming he “swindled” people just because he wrote that book and others explaining, in essence, how to get healthy and lose weight by eating a diet rich in whole food nutrition, while simultaneously exposing the corrupt pharmaceutical industry for what it is.
At the end of the day, food is medicine and nine times out of ten there is a natural alternative to treat most ailments that doesn’t require taking pharmaceutical drugs. It’s common sense.
Detox smoothie recipes that are easy to make and taste good
The detox smoothie recipes I’m about to show you work in the same way that taking megadoses of vitamin C works to cure a variety of ailments. And a lack of vitamin C even causes scurvy, a condition malnourished sailors would suffer from back in the day.
Let’s put it this way, if you just breathed in a bunch of car exhaust, or formaldehyde from your new carpeting, or fumes from coating your furniture with polyurethane, colognes or fragrances, or dyes, or whatever, drinking these types of vitamin C dominant detox smoothies is going to make you feel better by helping you to flush that shit out of your body.
Step 1: Add frozen fruit (e.g. mangos, strawberries, pineapples etc.) to an empty blender, topping it with 1-2 cups of plain 0% fat Greek yogurt
Step 2: Add your protein milk about 3/4 of the way full (e.g. Ripple unsweetened protein milk or flax milk or any milk or milk substitute that has protein in it)
Step 3: Blend until you see the mixture go from looking like a donut on top to mixing freely and easily
Step 4: Pour yourself a glass and enjoy!
Get creative and add your own tweaks
You can use any frozen fruit, really, but I’d advise against blueberries unless they’re sprinkled in. Too many blueberries messes up the consistency of the smoothie. Don’t ask me why. It just does.
Also, you could add some coconut milk in there and some nuts if you want some fats in there. Play with it.
But, the three ingredients that are the foundation are always going to be frozen fruit, preferably organic, Greek yogurt, and milk.
Oh, and I usually add a little water to it to make it more watery sometimes, rather than milky. Sometimes, I want a more refreshing smoothie, so that’s when I add the water.
