PURE BLISS SPRING DETOX SHAKE

Spring is the perfect time to implement a cleansing regimen and give our radiance and energy a boost! Our yoga practice goes a long way towards keeping us pure, but when we need some extra assistance, nature can be a powerful ally. We all need to detox at times! No matter how clean our lifestyle and diet, we need to help counteract cellular damage from less then ideal eating habits, over-acidity, environmental toxins, and free radicals.

We recommend the following drink daily. It is not only a refreshing treat for a summer day, but it is also perfect to purify us and banish free radicals! The Pure Bliss Shake is based on a recipe from Pure Food & Living in NYC. We have modified the ingredients slightly to our own specifications. Please try to use only fresh organic produce. Enjoy!

1 Pink grapefruit
1 peeled cucumber
1 handful of fresh cilantro
1 cup pineapple
1 Tsp coconut butter  or flax oil (optional)
1 lime (juice only)
2 Tbls agave
1 pinch of celtic sea salt
cinnamon (to taste)
vanilla extract

Options: (tocotreinals, hemp protein powder, green super foods, bee pollen, ).

We especially recommend adding some nutrient dense green foods (i.e., spirulina, etc.) you won't even taste them in this delicious mix! - get ready to feel your energy spike!

Put all in a blender. Enjoy!

We tend to crave pink grapefruit at this time of the year. The body seems naturally to want a good flush and the grapefruit and pineapple are gentle effective kidney flushers. Cilantro is the real powerhouse ingredient here: We normally think of herbs like cilantro as just flavorful additions to our meals but by modifying the quantity slightly this simple herb can become an amazingly effective healing tool.  Through the research of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, it has been revealed that cilantro has the ability to remove heavy metals from the body. Heavy metals compromise the nervous system and bodily tissues. This leaves us vulnerable to conditions such as Alzheimer's, depression, compromised immune system, cancer, and more. Heavy metals also create an environment for various infections to flourish. This method of using cilantro has been called the 'poor man's chelation therapy.'

We wish you all a healthy, vital, beautiful, and bountiful spring!
