#6 Detox Smoothie

Cucumbers, celery parsley, cilantro, ginger and lemon are all cleaning and alkalizing vegetables and herbs.  This is a strong alkalizing drink and strong flavor, probably too sour for most palates.  I will give you my basic recipe, then offer several suggestions that will sweeten it to the yummmy state.  However, if you are battling candida, I recommend you dilute this basic combination to reduce it's sourness.  Leave out the cilantro if that is objectionable until you reduce the acidity in your body, then the drink will taste quite refreshing.  Cilantro is a great heavy metal detoxifier.

Sorry I didn't get a picture of this PARSLEY GINGER CILANTRO cleansing drink.  But the color matches.

1 stalk of Celery
1 cup Cucumber
1 Lemon juiced
Nice chunk of Ginger Root
Handful of Parsley and one of Cilantro  (go easy on how much you use until you test this out.)
1 cup of water

Add ins that make it sweeter. 
Half of a slice of fresh Pineapple
Half of a frozen or fresh Banana
Chia seeds or Hemp Seeds can always be added for a bit of protein.

I haven't tried to use Stevia.  Liquid flavor Stevia is good to have on hands as well as the powder.  When buying Stevia pay attention to how it is processed.  This is one of the issues that make sugar substitutes so very damaging to your organic physiology. 

Remember also that a bitterness to foods indicates the acidity of your body.  As you achieve alkalinity, you will be able to taste the natural sweetness in foods.
