I was grateful to be asked to write an article for Christopher’s Kitchen and Meraki Juice Kitchen on their new smoothie. Learn about it below!

The Heavy Metal Detox smoothie, developed by Anthony Williams, The Medical Medium, and brought to you by Christopher’s Kitchen and Meraki Juice, is a powerhouse of nutrients specifically designed to support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Coconut water and fresh orange juice serve as the hydrating base, rich in electrolytes and vitamin C, which aid in flushing out toxins and boosting the immune system. Bananas contribute potassium, which supports heart health and proper muscle function, while blueberries provide a high dose of antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and inflammation. The combination of these fruits enhances the delicious flavor and gives you an array of healing vitamins and minerals.

The unique blend of cilantro, spirulina, barley grass, and Atlantic dulce takes this smoothie to the next level in terms of detoxification. Cilantro is the best heavy metal detoxifier, known for its ability to bind to heavy metals and help remove them from the body. It is especially helpful in removing toxic mercury, which is so prevalent in today’s world. Spirulina, a nutrient-dense algae, contains chlorophyll and essential amino acids that support liver function and cellular repair. Barley grass adds additional chlorophyll, which aids in cleansing the blood and supporting digestive health.

I use spirulina and chlorophyll in my daily smoothies and find that my energy levels are what they were when I was 30. Atlantic dulce, a type of seaweed, is rich in iodine and other trace minerals, promoting thyroid health and further assisting in eliminating heavy metals. I have cured myself of an underactive thyroid issue by adding Atlantic dulce to my daily smoothies. Together, these ingredients create a potent smoothie that nourishes the body and supports its natural detoxification pathways, promoting overall well-being. I am thrilled that Christopher’s Kitchen and Meraki will now be offering this smoothie! It is my favorite detox smoothie that also tastes absolutely delicious.
