My Favorite Cleanse Recipes: Breakfast

BREAKFAST 

Sweet Potato Creme & Wild Blueberry Compote

Sweet potato bowls are great filling alternatives when you need a satiating breakfast without grains. Strep feeds on grains, so if you're fighting strep it might be a good idea to remove it for awhile. Here's a great breakfast, I've also had it for dinner as well ;) 

Directions

Peel, dice and steam purple sweet potatoes

Once softened, blend them with some apple juice and maple syrup (just enough needed to blend). Recently, I've just been using maple syrup and a little honey. Just keeping tasting them till you like it. I also added some grated ginger that was delicious.

In a small pot over low/medium heat, mix wild blueberries, lime juice (can do lemon) and some arrowroot (optional). Stir intermittently cause the arrowroot will harden to the bottom of the pot. Once thickened, then add maple syrup or a mixture of coconut sugar/honey. It tastes like blueberry pie. So good!

Wild Blueberry Pie Filling. In a pot, mix wbb, lime juice (can do lemon) Heat and stir. Add maple syrup. Usually this recipe has arrowroot so it’s thick but during a pain reduction protocol I like to stick with just fruits, veggies, juices. It tastes like blueberry pie. So good!

Oatmeal & Wild Blueberry Compote
In a small pot over low/medium heat, mix wild blueberries, lime juice (can do lemon) and some arrowroot (optional). Stir intermittently cause the arrowroot will harden to the bottom of the pot. Once thickened, then add maple syrup or a mixture of coconut sugar/honey. It tastes like blueberry pie. So good!

Raw Oatmeal
My favorite way to make oatmeal is to blend 2 bananas, 1-2 dates, water and some gluten free oats. It's super fast and delicious. You can use a blender but I like to use my immersion blender. 

Grain Free Option
To make it extra healing, don't add the arrowroot. You can also replace the oats with frozen bananas blended in a food processor or this recipe is great Banana Apple Oatmeal (medicalmedium.com).

Breakfast Smoothie_________________________________
Every morning I drink either the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie, Liver Rescue smoothie or just a plain smoothie. If you are doing the original Liver Cleanse then AW recommends the Liver Rescue Smoothie. Liver Rescue Smoothie (medicalmedium.com). If you want to also incorporate the HMD smoothie then drink it after the Liver Rescue smoothie. Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie (medicalmedium.com)

Please note how pretty and petite the smoothie looks on the websites and compare it with my gigantic smoothie to the above. Small pretty smoothies are cute for kids but for a mother who is nursing a two year old... I need a giant size smoothie for breakfast.

My Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie: I personally like 3-4 bananas, orange juice from 3-4 oranges, 1 cup blueberries, lots frozen cherries, frozen pineapple or mango, 1 cup cilantro and maybe some spinach if it's not too much, 1-2 dates, spirulina, barley juice grass.

Please note: If you notice I do not include dulse cause it's gross. This is one of the 5 key HMD ingredients (dulse, spirulina, barley juice grass powder, cilantro, wild bluberries). So I either mix some with OJ or a bit of the smoothie in a small cup and shoot it before my breakfast smoothie.

Sweet Potato Bowl__________________________________
 I’m a sweet potato connoisseur. The trick to the perfect sweet potato is to pick out the thinner ones at the grocery store. 
-Peel, dice and steam

-I used to blend these with oat milk, now I just blend them with maple syrup and honey (optional: cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, grated fresh ginger, etc)
