WHY DO I NEED TO CLEANSE OR DETOX?

Purification, also known as detoxification, can help you remove natural toxins from your body and help maintain a healthy weight. We are exposed to external toxins continually, including pollutants, pesticides, and chemicals. Internally our bodies produce waste by-products as a result of normal metabolic function. Although your body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened. Purification offers your body additionally support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight, which is important to maintaining your health and vitality.

 

Toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions:

  • Stuffy head

  • Fatigue or difficulty sleeping

  • Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems

  • Food cravings and weight gain

  • Reduced mental clarity

  • Low libido

  • Skin not looking its best

  • Joint and tendon issues

 

Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner

Strawberry Twist Smoothie

  • 1 cup strawberries

  • 1 cup freshly juiced carrots*

  • 1 Tbsp. high-quality flax seed oil

  • Pure and Paleo Protein Powder

  • 1” chunk of fresh ginger root, peeled

  • 2 cups organic fresh leafy greens such as: (spinach, beet greens, lettuce, parsley, kale, chard, collards)

  • Fresh basil, lime or lemon

Thoroughly blend all ingredients together, adding ice cubes or cold water until the shake reaches desired consistency. You may make a large enough batch to last you through the day, but make sure to keep it refrigerated and remix as needed before pouring.

Tips for your shake: *If vegetables are used, there is no restriction regarding the quantity. When blending vegetables, it is recommended that a high-performance commercial drink blender be used.

Also, I know this is called a Strawberry smoothie and you would think the color of the smoothie would be pink, but when you add greens, your smoothie will look green but taste like strawberry. Don’t be afraid to try it. It’s delicious!
