JUICES AND SMOOTHIES Many of the smoothie recipes include frozen banana. I encourage you to peel several bunches of bananas (preferably organic since most conventional bananas are picked green and gas-ripened), set them on a tray, and freeze them. Once they are frozen, put them in a plastic bag and store them in the freezer. When a recipe calls for a frozen banana, simply pull one from your freezer bag as necessary.
Carrot Cleansing Juice
Ginger increases circulation to the muscles in the body, allowing the extra blood and oxygen to fight toxins. It also helps alleviate pain and inflammation. Carrots are an excellent source of beta carotene, which is needed for many detoxifi cation processes.
6 large carrots (remove tops)1 apple, cored1 1-inch piece of ginger
Pass all ingredients through a juicer. Drink immediately.
Body Cooler
This is an excellent summertime juice to keep your body cool. 4 carrots 2 celery stalks 1 apple, cored
Juice all ingredients in a juicer. Drink immediately.
Citrus Cleansing Juice

Alkalizing Juice
3 carrots
½ cucumber
½ beet with greens Juice all ingredients in a juicer. Drink immediately.
Blood, Liver, and Kidney Cleansing Juice
Dandelion is useful for cleansing the blood (which removes toxins from the tissues and joints, thereby speeding healing and reducing pain and inflammation). Be aware that if you drink a fair amount of this juice over a short period of time it can quickly cause a cleansing reaction that initially might produce symptoms like fatigue or headaches. These symptoms will pass as your body becomes “cleaner.”
3 apples
handful of fresh dandelion leaves (if you are digging it yourself,
be sure to obtain organic dandelion where the land has not been
sprayed for several years and is far removed from traffi c areas) Pass all ingredients through a juicer. Drink immediately.
Skin Cleansing Juice
1 cucumber
4 stalks celery
1 to 2 apples (depending on preferred sweetness) Pass all ingredients through a juicer. Drink immediately.
Enzyme Power Healing Smoothie
Not only is this smoothie delicious and satisfying, it is an amazing healer. Papaya, pineapple, and ripe bananas are loaded with enzymes that help digestion and break down toxins, fat, and inflammation in the body. Bromelain, an enzyme in pineapple, breaks down cholesterol in the blood and reduces inflammation in the blood and tissues. Studies show that it helps to eliminate muscle,
Chapter ..: The Ultimate Body Detox Plan Recipes ...
joint, and headache pain.1 Bromelain also helps break down fat. Papain, an enzyme that is plentiful in papaya, breaks down protein molecules in the blood, reducing inflammation that is linked to allergies or pain. Even cancer cells have a protein coating that papain attacks, thereby helping the body deal with these ominous cells. Drink up!
1 cup chopped papaya
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple (not canned)
1 frozen banana Combine with desired amount of water in a blender and blend to desired smoothie consistency.
Clenzyme Juice
½ pineapple, outer skin removed (juice the core as well as the fl esh)
1 1-inch piece of ginger Pass all ingredients through a juicer. Dilute with pure water to taste. Drink immediately.
Cran-Berry Melon Power Juice
This delectable treat cleanses the urinary tract and the liver, while reducing inflammation in the body. Consider the research behind this delicious drink: cranberries and blueberries line the cells of the urinary tract and bladder, thereby preventing harmful bacteria from anchoring themselves to the cells. Blueberries also contain a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient that is ten times stronger than aspirin (without the harmful side eff ects). Watermelon is one of the few foods that contain a potent nutraceutical called glutathione. Nutraceuticals are compounds found in food that have nutritional and medicinal properties. This super food greatly improves the Phase 2 detoxification pathway in the liver—a remarkable accomplishment that helps the body more eff ectively eliminate synthetic chemicals.
... The .-Week Ultimate Body Detox Plan
2 large slices of watermelon
½ cup blueberries
½ cup cranberries Push all ingredients through a juicer. Serve over ice if desired.

HERBAL TEAS
Blood Purifier Tea
This warming tea not only purifies the blood, it lowers cholesterol, urea, and nitrogenous waste products that damage cells. It even cleanses the liver and skin, and soothes the gastrointestinal tract.
Mix the following dried herbs (found in most health food stores) in a jar:
¼ cup peppermint
¼ cup ginger
¼ cup globe artichoke
Chapter ..: The Ultimate Body Detox Plan Recipes ...
Add one teaspoon of the mixture (per cup of tea) to a tea strainer or tea ball. Pour boiling water over the tea strainer and let sit for five minutes. Sweeten with one to three drops of stevia per cup (if desired).
Liver/Gallbladder Tea
This tea is also good to help with fat digestion. Many people suff er from headaches because their bodies cannot handle the amount of fat in their diet.
Purchase dried herbs at your local health food store for this recipe. In a jar, mix together the following:
1 part milk thistle seed
1 part artichoke leaves
1 part dandelion root Use one teaspoon of the herb mixture per cup of water. Simmer in a non-aluminum pot on the stove for fifteen minutes. Strain. Drink one cup of the liquid mixture three times per day.
SALADS AND SALAD DRESSINGS
TIP: For an even higher fi bre, higher protein salad, drain a can of beans and add to your favourite salad recipes.
Blueberry Cleansing Salad Dressing
Blueberries are excellent anti-inflammatory agents. They increase the amounts of compounds called heat-shock proteins that decrease as people age, thereby causing inflammation and damage, particularly in the brain. If you blueberries regularly, research shows that these heat-shock proteins stop declining, inflammation decreases, and pain decreases, not to mention that the blueberries just taste fabulous. Blueberries are excellent pain-fighters as well. If toxins in your body are causing pain or inflammation, you’ll be happy to learn that
... The .-Week Ultimate Body Detox Plan
blueberries contain a substance that is ten times more potent than
aspirin at fighting pain and inflammation. ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) ¾ cup cold-pressed flax seed oil (make sure it is refrigerated) . cup apple cider vinegar (with sediment in the bottom—purchase at a health food store) dash of Celtic sea salt (Celtic sea salt is a moist, greyish-coloured salt that contains dozens of minerals, not just sodium. It is not the same as sea salt. I recommend using Celtic sea salt whenever you would normally use salt.) 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Blend with a hand mixer or whisk together. If whisking ingredients together, mash the blueberries with a fork. Pour over mixed baby greens since they have the greatest healing properties of various types of lettuce.
Herb Cleansing Salad Dressing

ENTRÉES When you’re cooking, never allow oil to get so hot it smokes. Th e temperature at which an oil will smoke varies from one kind of oil to another. The smoke temperature is the point at which the heat chemically alters the oil, making it no longer healthy to consume. It is far better to use a lower temperature when cooking with oils and take a few extra minutes than to destroy the health properties of the meal from overheating.
Some of the entrée recipes call for cooked whole grains. Here is a chart for cooking them. The amount of water is per cup of grain.
Grain Amount of Water Cooking Time Special Directions
Amaranth 2 ½ to 3 cups 20 to 25 minutes
Barley (Pearl) 2 ½ to 3 cups 50 to 55 minutes Millet 2 ½ cups 35 to 40 minutes Best if toasted first
Oat 3 to 4 cups 45 to 60 minutes Best if soaked overnight
Oats (rolled) 1 ½ cups 10 minutes Stir oats into boiling water
Quinoa 1 cup 15 minutes Best if toasted first
Brown Rice 2 ¼ cups 35 to 40 minutes
When using legumes, be sure to drain and rinse them thoroughly. Th is helps to prevent the flatulence commonly associated with legumes.
