Supports the Kidney, spleen, liver, and gallbladder
Ingredients (organic)
1 &1/2 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries
Cup of walnuts or almonds
4 scoops or two servings of Organic Pea Protein Powder
1 tsp pumpkin spice (I prefer from Natural Grocers)
1 inch of ginger
Half a squeezed lemon or lime
Three stalks of dandelion greens
Small handful of parsley
Small handful of cilantro
Flax seed or almond milk (as much as you want for thick or thinness)
Blend in a high speed blender for 2 - 5 minutes
***This makes me two smoothies. One to take with me to drink before I hit the trail for a hike or mountain bike ride and one to drink when I finish.
This smoothie builds blood (nuts) and digestive fire (ginger/pumpkin spice).
the lime/lemon helps to absorb the nutrients in greens (and food in general).
additionally citrus and sour flavors support the liver & GALLBLADDER.
blueberries are a low glycemic fruit (as are raspberries and blackberries).
and this smoothie provides us with the necessary fats and proteins we need
to build healthy neurotransmitters and hormones.
Fats and protein are the precursors for neurotransmitters and hormones.
