Let me start by saying this smoothie is DELISH. It is a combination of specific fruits and medicinal herbs that gently and effectively pull heavy metals (such as mercury, aluminum and lead) from the body, cleansing the liver and intestines so they can function optimally. This smoothie is great to whip up any time of day! Keep in mind that if you make it ahead of time it will gel (thus demonstrating its gut healing properties to attach and pull toxins out of the body), so it will need to be stirred and sometimes water added to create a consistency that can be sipped again.
If you don't have these specialty ingredients on hand, see the second option below to create a smoothie that is simpler and just as delicious that your gut/liver will love!
1 banana

1 cup frozen wild blueberries (sold at Trader Joes or Whole Foods)
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice or water
1/2 cup cilantro (stems and leaves)
1/2 teas. barley grass juice powder
1/2 teas. spirulina
1/2 Tbsp. Atlantic dulse
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. Enjoy immediately for best consistency.
