#10 Detxox Smoothie - Orange Basil

Here is a great tasting Orange Basil smoothie to keep the detox going on and nourish you at the cell level.

We must give our bodies quality food if we want to build a strong immune system against present day toxins in our environment.  Much of our food has been greatly diminished and poisoned by chemicles to preserve them for long shelf life.  Supplements seem a necessary addition to our daily food intake.  When you look for the answer for rebuilding health and reversing disease process, look for a product line that has integrity in the health field, not just making money.  I have used  several quality product lines like Garden of Life and New Chapter and now have discovered Reliv.  I would be glad to discuss the pros and cons of each of these. 

 I believe Jesus Christ should be consulted first when His physical design begins to break down.  We must assume responsibility for maintaining health.  There are basic laws that govern all humans, however, there are unique paths to health and He wants to share your every concern.  Be prepared to consider internal stress generated by wrong thought patterns and destructive emotions.  How you think and feel offer huge red flags for correction.  Unresolved issues that protect feelings of resentment, bitterness and unforgiveness are precursors to disease process. 

Orange Basil Smoothie

1 cup of fresh squeezed Orange Juice
4 to 6 leaves of fresh Basil
Half of a frozen or fresh Banana
Half cup of water or crushed ice
I add my Reliv supplements to this mix.  No need for sweeteners.

Blend until smooth.  Remember that fresh is best.  Bottled orange juice or any juice is pasturized and therefore has no life in it. I call it dead because a fresh orange or carrot, if planted, will reproduce itself. A cooked orange or carrot can only mold and spoil.  Which do you think will help your cells reproduce themselves in a healthy manner?

You could take this recipe and add a small handful of Spinach or Kale for a green smoothie.  You can leave out the Banana if you prefer.  Of course, other fruits can be added, like Blueberries, etc.  And of course the Basil isn't essential, however, I love to add it when I have fresh.  I brought a pot of it back with me from Florida to plant in May.
