Springtime Cleanse

When starting with strict cleansing, these are the recipes you should use for those nine days of cleansing. That means that you should prepare for it properly.

Nine days of cleansing is when you give up on salts, oils, and vinegar.

But all of these options are there to give you some idea of how to combine things before you get into it 100%. This will help you to get some inspiration and orientation on how and what you should eat for breakfast and lunch.

Don’t rush, and don’t be impatient; build it up slowly, and you will get there.

When you are ready, you can add other things like celery juice. For dinner time and celery juice, I will create more recipes, and I will talk about them later.

Drink every day plenty of water

When you wake up, drink 2- 3 glasses of water. If you don’t have a habit of drinking so much water, build it up. One person should drink around 2 liters of water daily. Drink always 30 min before a meal or smoothies and 1 hour after a meal. Don’t mix water with food. And add some freshly squeezed lemon juice.

These are different smoothie options

All of them provide deep cleansing, including heavy metals.

Option 1

Two or more cups of water

Wild blueberries

a handful of nettles,

a handful of dandelions,

2 bananas,

a handful of cilantro,

2 oranges

(spoon of seaweed – Atlantic dulce, kelp, Irish moss).

When you don’t have any dandelions, add what you have, like spinach or kale.

Option 2

Two or more cups of water

Raspberries (biological)

a handful of nettles

a handful of dandelions

2 bananas

a handful of cilantro

2 oranges

(spoon of seaweed – Atlantic dulce, kelp, Irish moss)

If there are no dandelions and nettles, add some spinach or kale

Option 3

2 or more cups of water

Strawberries (biological),

a handful of nettles,

a handful of dandelions,

2 bananas,

a handful of cilantro,

2 oranges

For every smoothie, you can use a variety of fruits and wild herbs.

You can use wild blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries. If possible, biological. Wild blueberries are the most powerful here. But you can replace them with other berries if you can’t find anything else.

In the spring, wild herbs are available to everyone. You can get them free in the local park or around your house. Plants like nettle, dandelions, and ground elders are beneficial.

Bitter herbs do a lot when it comes to liver cleansing. Spring is a perfect time to do so.

If the smoothie is too bitter, add more bananas to it. You can also juice some orange juice and add it to the smoothie. Another replacement is coconut water.

In between, if hungry

You can always eat some fruit. Bananas, apples, pears, oranges…. You can eat some dates. Another option is sliced apples with some cinnamon and honey or maple syrup.

Stay away from

These nine days of cleansing are specifically designed to clean your body. All nine days, you should stay away from the oils and salts.

Oils thicken the blood, and salts get attached to the cell, in which the cell can’t get rid of certain toxins.

 Vinegar dehydrates the body to a deep organ level, and when you’re cleansing, you don’t want to dehydrate the body. Vinegar preserves poisons, trapping them in your organs—and it doesn’t pull them out of your body. Toxins dehydrate us, as they require abundant water to dilute them and eventually flush them out of our cells so they can safely leave our organs without hurting us. Vinegar allows toxins to penetrate our cells and organs because it sucks the water out of cells, which even drives poisons and toxins deeper into organ tissue. 

All the recipes are the base without salt, oils, and vinegar. As a replacement, use herbs like dill, basil, parsley, cilantro, oregano, or any other herb you choose.

Other options are:

  • Atlantic dulse
  • Black pepper
  • Paprika powder
  • Chilly
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder

  • Atlantic dulce
  1. Trim the ends of the cucumber and spiralize the cucumbers or use a julienne peeler. Place the sliced cucumbers in a bowl. Let the cucumbers sit in the colander in the sink for at least 5 minutes to draw out excess water/moisture..
  2. While the cucumber sits, spiralize or peel the carrots and chop the sweet peppers. You can also use this time to prepare the dressing.
  3. Once the cucumber has drained for 15 minutes, spread them out on a layer of paper towels or a clean dish towel and gently pat out as much moisture as possible.
  4. Place the cucumber noodles, carrots, and pepper in a large mixing bowl to hold the salad. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to combine, coating the salad. Top with the sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and cilantro, and serve immediately.
