Good Morning Everyone!

I just want to THANK all of you for joining me as I learn about video blogging!

Day 1 – caffeine headaches
Day 2 – headaches, gassiness
Day 3 – SIBO symptoms, nausea, diarrhea
Day 4 – SIBO symptoms, brain fog
Day 5 – brain fog & low energy, TIRED of chewing!
Day 6 – gassiness, bloating

Medical Medium Recipe Success or Failure

Blueberry Muffins – Huge success reported from everyone who tries them
Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie – Delicious
Liver Rescue Smoothie – Creamy & satisfying
Sweet Potato Black Bean Salad – seal of approval from cleanse and non-cleanse people alike
Lentil Tacos – Yum – AND child approved!
Nachos Potatoes – one of my favorite MM recipes
Potato Pancake with Cucumber Radish Salad – Weird combo. Jeremy and I liked the potato pancakes, and we liked the salad (though will leave out honey next time), but these two do not belong on the same plate in our opinions.
Liver Rescue Salad – Both options rock
Baked Falafel Salad – Just NO. This was pretty awful and our first disappointment in the MM recipes.
Roasted Veggie Pasta – Will do again, even NOT on cleanse!
Chickpea Quiche – This has been reported from two clients as a big YES!

OOPS! I forgot to mention…

Steamed Brussels with Garlic Maple Drizzle

Steam Brussels sprouts. Cut them in half and drizzle with a mixture of:

Roasted garlic
Maple syrup
lemon juice
water
pinch Chipotle (optional)
Recipe by Jeremy

Roasted vs. Steamed

Since vegetables don’t come in contact with cooking water during steaming, more vitamins are retained. Dry cooking methods such as grilling, or roasting also retain a greater amount of nutrients than boiling. Thank you Google. I include the forbidden roasted potatoes recipe for reasons stated in my video today.

Rosemary Potatoes

Sauté some garlic  and fresh rosemary in water or vegetable broth.
Add some lemon juice to the garlic and rosemary.
Drizzle the garlic rosemary mixture over the top of steamed potato.

The following is NOT an approved cleanse recipe.

Slice one russet potato into wedges.
Sauté some garlic  and fresh rosemary in water or vegetable broth. Add lemon juice to the garlic and rosemary. Marinate potato wedges for 30 minutes and then roast until browned at 350˚.

Spinach Soup

Soup recipe at this link. I got too lazy to do cucumber noodles, so I just did cucumber slices. Don’t forget to eat at least two apples between lunch and dinner, along with MORE cucumbers and celery sticks.

Delicious NEW Brussels Sprouts Recipe!

Brussels for lunch and Brussels for dinner makes you sorta look forward to an all liquid diet on day nine! I like Brussels sprouts, but I do not LOVE Brussels sprouts. The first time we did the cleanse we made the error of roasting, rather than steaming our sprouts. This time we steamed them, but not wanting either of us to get bored, my kitchen witch whipped up an AMAZING little sauce to drizzle on your sprouts! Jeremy lightly steamed the Brussels sprouts and then cut them in half and drizzled them with:

Roasted garlic
Maple syrup
lemon juice
water
pinch Chipotle (optional)

I am DELIGHTED with his preparation!! ~Will share photo tomorrow.

Day 1 for Some

BIG shout out to those of you who are starting day 1 of the cleanse today! I am currently on day 6, and others of you are on 3 or 4 and each of us is RIGHT where we are supposed to be. I am so proud of ALL of us! We are taking action to energize our lives, not just talking about it, or wishing for it. We are really doing this cleanse for better health! yay us!

We’re half way there!

Produce Run!

We were down to our last two apples, so we made a run to Costco for more Honeycrisps. Needed more spinach and asparagus, too!

Honeycrisps cost more, but when you’re supposed to eat 3-5 apples a day, they are worth the price. if you get tired of eating apples on this cleanse, buy Honeycrisps!

Pro tip on the Liver Rescue Smoothie

It was cold at my house yesterday with a thunderstorm blowing through! I was hungry for my second smoothie, but wasn’t looking forward to a cold shake on such a cold day, so I let the blueberries thaw before making the smoothie! I normally LOVE my smoothies to be cold, but this was a perfect solution on a rainy day in May.

Since I was still hungry and it was SO good, a made a third shake.

Pro tip on Salad Prep

Cut all the greens off your multitude of beautiful radishes so they don’t rot in the veggie drawer. Don’t throw them away! Add them to your salad as one of your leafy greens!

Here’s what Medical Medium says about radish greens: These leaves of the radish are the second most powerful prebiotic there is (next to wild blueberries). Radish greens hold a plethora of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and cancer-fighting alkaloids, plus the greens possess antibacterial and antiviral properties. They repair the colon and other parts of the intestinal tract that have lost the ability to absorb nutrients. Radish greens’ nutrition absorbs into the most dysfunctional digestive tracts, assimilating better than any other food, thanks to their high enzymatic profile; the greens contain various enzymes that are not yet documented by scientific study and that allow for the uptake of nutrients.

Liver Rescue Smoothie

OPTION A 
2 bananas
½ cup fresh, or 2 tablespoons powdered dragon fruit
2 cups fresh or frozen or 2 tablespoons powdered wild blueberries 
½ cup water (optional)  If using the powder, water is not optional

Medical Medium provides two options for your LiverRescue Smoothie here. I have been unable to find dragonfruit in my area, but my friend Lara sent tis picture of the beautiful fruits she bought to prepare for the cleanse.

Liver Rescue Salad

My Liver Rescue Salad was a huge hit at the potluck last night! I made a gihugenormous salad to share and none of it came home. I added green beans to option B just because I had them on hand and they made a nice addition.
