5 Super Yummy Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie Recipes

Heavy metals are virtually everywhere.

They’re present in tap water, aluminum foil, batteries, metal cookware, old paint, and environmental pollutants like vehicle emissions.

You can also find them in places and objects you come into contact with every day. In fact, almost all of us are carrying around heavy metals in our system, especially in our brain.

Even if you adhere to a strictly organic diet, it’s hard to avoid pesticides and herbicides.

Additionally, you can inherit heavy metals genetically. Especially if your mother or someone in your bloodline was exposed to them.

Remember: heavy metals include mercury, lead, arsenic, nickel, copper, and cadmium. They all promote inflammation.

They cause damage to surrounding tissues, harm your brain tissue, and affect your immune system.

These toxic heavy metals can even inflame and irritate your central nervous system, especially the brain, causing memory loss, brain fog, fatigue, and mood disorders..

As if that’s not bad enough, heavy metals promote inflammation in your gut and digestive tract.

Even more worrying is that they’re a source of food for bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms.

However, a heavy metal detox smoothie can help remove these toxic heavy metals from organs where they accumulate. Our Nordic Blueberries are the key ingredient, but let’s look at some other essential ingredients

Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie Powerful Ingredients

Wild Nordic Blueberries

Of all vegetables and fruits, blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels.

Wild Nordic blueberries, in particular, are loaded with anthocyanins. These are antioxidants that help repair your tissues from the damage caused by the oxidation of heavy metals.

Unlike cultivated blueberries, they help draw heavy metals from your system, especially the brain, central nervous system, and liver.

LOOV Nordic wild blueberries are sourced from Nordic forests. They’re free from pesticides, preservatives, and additives.

The blueberries are freeze-dried to preserve their natural taste and nutrients. You can go for LOOV organic whole blueberries or LOOV organic wild blueberry powder.


Blueberry’s antioxidant levels are related directly to berry species, meaning wild organic bilberries have generally higher antioxidant capacity than cultivated ones.

You’re probably wondering, why insist on wild blueberries and not conventional ones?

Nordic wild blueberries color your hands and tongue with a deep blue color while others don’t.

However, the coloring is a sign that the berries are packed with antioxidants and nutritional properties.

Conventional berries have fewer antioxidants and usually contain pesticides and other chemicals, which we’re trying to get out of our bodies.

The potent antioxidants in wild blueberries may reverse and even halt cognitive decline. However, you should not use them as a substitute for medical treatment, check with your doctor first.

Wild blueberries help reverse any oxidative damage left behind by the heavy metals.

They are also rich in anthocyanins and vitamins, a perfect combination for heavy metal detox.

Of all berries, Nordic wild blueberries (also known as bilberries) have the highest levels of antioxidants (four times more than cultivated ones).

While Maine blueberries grow in their natural habitat, they are not 100% free of pesticides and the growers manage the fields commercially.

The amount of anthocyanin in Maine blueberries contains 150 mg/100 g while that of Nordic wild blueberries is 800 mg/100 g.

The Nordic climate has long days in the growing season, which provides cool temperatures and plentiful light.

The result is berries full of nutrients, a natural, strong forestry flavor, and a dark blue color. Here’s everything you need to know about blueberries.

Atlantic Dulse

Atlantic dulse is an edible seaweed.

It goes deep into your digestive tract, seeking out mercury, nickel, lead, and aluminum. It then binds on them and does not leave them until they’re removed from the body.

Barley Grass Juice Extract Powder

Barley grass or barley greens is the leaf of a young barley plant that hasn’t started producing seeds.

If you can’t find fresh barley grass, it’s also available in the form of powder, tablets, juices, and gummies.

The plant is rich in antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress.

When you consume barley grass juice powder, it draws heavy metals from your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system.

You can drink barley grass in a smoothie or mix it in with water, coconut water, or juice.

Spirulina


Spirulina is a blue-green alga.

It’s considered a superfood due to its numerous health benefits and antioxidant properties.

The algae draws out heavy metals from the nervous system, brain, and liver. It also absorbs heavy metals extracted by barley grass powder and carries them out of the body.

Cilantro


Cilantro is a powerful chelating agent that binds to heavy metals

Also known as Chinese parsley, cilantro is also great for extracting metals from previous years and those passed down genetically.

These metals build up over time and usually hide deep in the tissues where some chelating agents cannot reach. Cilantro goes deep into hard-to-reach places, extracting metals out of every tissue.

While most people use cilantro in soups, it’s best for metal detox when added to salad, guacamole, juice, or blended into a smoothie.

Chlorella


Chlorella is a single-cell alga famous for its toxin-binding capabilities

It’s been shown to help eliminate mercury from connective tissues, muscles, ligaments, bones, your gastrointestinal tract, and even your skin.

Additionally, chlorella has virus-fighting properties that can help your body recover from mercury poisoning. However, seek medical attention if you suspect mercury poisoning.

Chlorella is best used with cilantro. Cilantro removes more metals than it can carry. If another chelating agent is not used, you risk detoxification. Chlorella carries the excess metals removed by cilantro.

Greens and Fruits

You can add fruits and vegetables to your salad or heavy metal detox smoothie.

Apart from flavor, some fruits such as kiwi and pineapple have high Vitamin C levels. These high antioxidants help protect the liver during detox.

Fresh orange juice and vegetables like kales and spinach are of immense benefit, too.

Now you know what goes into them, it’s time to create some yummy heavy metal detox smoothies.

#4. Cilantro and Chlorella Smoothie

According to studies, cilantro and chlorella heavy metal chelation remove about 80% of heavy metals in about 42 days.

Cilantro mobilizes toxins out from the spaces they are hiding.

However, the toxins are more than cilantro can carry.

Therefore, they may end up flooding the connective tissues, causing retoxification if another chelating agent is not used.

Chlorella binds the toxins removed by cilantro and holds onto them until they leave the body.

  • 1 small handful of cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chlorella
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 lemon (peeled)
  • 1 pear/green apple
  • 1 large handful of spinach
  • 1 large handful of kale
  • 1 thumb ginger
  • 2 cups water (depending on the desired consistency)

Directions

Blend all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
