I am so excited to feel better! Since needing to take the antiobiotics in June and July for my ear infection, then the upper respiratory infection, my whole system has felt "off".
So, I've decided to add a few things to my monthly Wellness Box to help with the process. You can look at Preparing for a Cleanse and Shopping to Get Ready for a Cleanse to see more about what I've done to prepare ahead of time for this.
This morning began with my usual coffee and Bible Study, so nothing has changed there. I went out to feed and water the dogs, and began putting together my breakfast smoothie. As of this writing, it's been almost 30 minutes after finishing it and I'm feeling quite satisfied, so the protein has helped with that!
Ok for the recipe, I didn't follow anything, but what I felt would be good to begin with. You can find these items at your local grocery store, except for 2 that came in my wellness box. I'll add links for them below.

This seemed like it would work for me this morning and it did. It was quite satisfying and not bitter at all, so it worked!
Water is so very important when doing a cleanse! Every day, I try to drink 4 quarts of water within a 24 hour timeframe.
Why only 1/4 cup? The natural sugars in the berries, if using more than this, will make this smoothie carb heavy and I didn't want that. I wanted the cellulose and vitamins from the raspberries.
This chopped kale worked very well in my smoothie. I didn't have to chop anything, but just grabbed 2 handfulls and rinsed them. Hardly any effort at all!
This powder adds multiple types of protein in to my smoothie that I need: Pure Protein Complete-Vanilla Spice
This is the highest antioxidant drink on the planet, so I added it to my smoothie this morning: NingXia Red Packets
The finished smoothie had some texture to it, so if you want more smooth, just blend longer.
So far this morning I've taken Comfortone Supplement. I have a plan for the other supplements throughout the day and my timer will be set to remind me to take those at the best time possible.
Now, I'm sure there are questions you may be asking about this particular cleanse. One may be: Why the focus on protein?
I have been diagnosed as a diabetic and if I just included all things cellulose in these smoothies, my blood sugar would be affected. I've done smoothies before with very little protein and my blood sugar bottomed out pretty much telling me the benefits of the smoothie are good, but need more protein for my own needs.
Lesson Learned: Listen to your body!
