Breakfast & Heavy Metal - the best combo

No, I don't actually rock out with breakfast every morning.

In fact, I usually am GEEKING out over breakfast.  At my desk. Over spreadsheets and statistics and trends.  Just about the same thing, right?

What I'm really getting at here is how I incorporated the heavy metal detox regimen from the Medical Medium book into my daily life.  DELICIOUSLY, I might add!!!!!

If you haven't checked out the book, it's worth a look on their Facebook page or Amazon.  He writes about the healing power of foods (particularly fruits and veggies), especially for those who have tried everything else and still can't get well.  Whether you believe in Spirit or not, there are some amazing testimonials about how people can help themselves with what they eat!!!  Worst case - you're eating some great, fresh fruits and veggies!  Your Mom would be proud  :)

Without further ado, my breakfast each morning:

• In a NutriBullet (or any blender), fill with frozen fruit to the "Max" line
• Add your goodies
• Fill to cover fruit with coconut water (or other liquid)
• Blend and enjoy!

 For the heavy metal part, here's what the book suggests (and what I use):

• Atlantic Dulse (I put in a pinch)
• Barley Wheatgrass Juice Power (about 1tsp)
• Hawaiian Spirulina (about 1tsp)
• Cilantro (a sprig sometimes)
• Maine Wild Blueberries (1 cup)

 (don't judge - apparently I wrote the labels on these in the middle of some morning brain fog - that's why we have computers, right?!  I guess I really do need to show those heavy metals the door!!)

The book suggests using a lot more volume of the goodies, but I'm still working my way up.  

I also love to add coconut oil and cinnamon!  Yum!!  

My favorite thing is getting a taste of home (Maine) - Wyman's of Maine wild blueberries can be found in a lot of grocery stores all across the country!  

The other fruits that I choose are strategic based on the ailments and the fruit recommendations that the book makes that spoke to me.  Besides the blueberries, I try to get in papaya, raspberry, blackberry, and cranberry.  (In another post I'll share the down low on my strategy for incorporating may of his recommendations into my every day life!)

**** Helpful tip: I can't get out of my way in the mornings (hence my spelling mistakes and usual mismatched socks), so I put everything except the coconut water in the bullet the night before and stick it in the freezer.  Just add the liquid and do less than a minute on the blender and you're ready to rock (without those heavy metals!) 

One last thing: the Medical Medium author (Anthony William) has a cookbook coming out this fall!!!      I'm excited to check it out because some of the foods I'm trying to incorporate are tough to track down in recipes!   It's called: Medical Medium Life-Changing Foods: Save Yourself and the Ones You Love with the Hidden Healing Powers of Fruits &…
