“10-Day Detox Diet Whole Protein Smoothie”

*From Dr. Mark Hyman’s book: 10-Day Detox Diet

Ingredients: (1 serving)

• 1 cup frozen mixed blueberries

• 1 tbsp. almond butter • ¼ avocado

• ½ tbsp. extra-virgin coconut butter

• 1 tbsp. pumpkin seeds • 1 tbsp. chia seeds

• 1 tbsp. hemp seeds • 2 walnuts

• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk  • ½ cup water  

  Dr. Lawenda’s recipe modifications: To simplify the recipe:

Instead of using the pumpkin, chia and hemp seeds you could replace the seeds with a high-quality omega-3 fatty acid supplement. One of my favorite liquid omega-3 supplements is Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega (also Nordic Naturals ProOmega). Adding one teaspoon of Ultimate Omega (or ProOmega) to the ingredients will provide you with almost 3,000 mg of omega-3 fat.

To supercharge your smoothie:

If you want to really supercharge your smoothie and turn it

into a "green drink," add one small scoop (the scoop is included in the container) of Green Vibrance to the ingredients. Green drink powders, like Green Vibrance, are full of cancer fighting phytonutrients, billions of units of probiotics and supportive micronutrients.    Can you put this in your gastric tube (G-tube)? Yes. Just make sure to flush the gastric tube after instilling the smoothie drink to keep the tube clean and to prevent clogging.
