Digestive Support Recipes

1 Digestive Support Recipes L-Glutamine Lemonade L-Glutamine is the substance we talked about that helps to heal a leaky gut. It goes in and repairs the digestive lining holes. Lemons and citrus are always a great way to get things moving, digestively- as they stimulate the liver to cleanse and help move food along. - 1 Teaspoon L-Glutamine - Juice of 1 lemon and/or more - 4 Drops liquid stevia or a pinch of maple syrup - 2 cups water Add everything to a glass and enjoy! * You can also omit the l-glutamine and have a lemonade!

2 The Constipation Relief Constipation isn t something to necessarily treat by one simple drink or trick. It s about healing the gut, eating more fiber, doing all of the things we ve been talking about this week. However, there is a supplement that can be incredibly helpful in making sure you re going in the morning. Magnesium. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax- and yes, you need your muscles to be relaxed to go to the bathroom! I have found this supplement is an easy way to get some extra magnesium in the body (besides leafy greens and raw cacao) and also very effective. Magnesium is the number one mineral that we are missing in our bodies, so taking this supplement or another high quality magnesium supplement is not a bad idea. Magnesium is shown to relax the muscles, reduce cravings, help with menstrual pains and PMS, reduce headaches, and so much more. 1 teaspoon natural calm 1 cup water Stir together and sip before bed.

3 Heal-All Homemade Stock To maximize the liver s ability to detox and cleanse, enjoy this combination of vegetables and herbs that are high in naturally occurring sulphur and glutathione which help the liver cleanse. - 1 large or 2 small beets with a handful of beet greens - 4 carrots - 1 cup broccoli or 1 small artichoke - 10 garlic cloves - 1/2 onion - 1/4 whole lemon - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar - 2 bay leaves - 1/4 cup fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried - 1 Teaspoon salt - 1/2 Teaspoon turmeric powder Other liver cleansing foods you can use: kale, asparagus, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Wash vegetables. Chop ingredients. Add to a stock pot or a crock pot (which in my opinion is even easier!) Top with water to cover. In crock pot: leave on low for 8-10 hours. On the stove- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and then simmer on low heat for one hour. You can strain the vegetables out and eat them with your dinner or simply enjoy them in the soup you drink.

4 Papaya, Strawberry Soother Papaya is one of natures best fruity digestion healers. The meat of the papaya contains certain enzymes that help soothe the lining of the intestines and also increase the amount of enzymes in the body. Aloe vera has been shown to heal the intestinal wall and support conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux, and IBS. 1 cup water 6 fresh strawberries 1/4 whole papaya 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Optional: 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel Optional: 1/2 avocado, or 1 coconut to make it more filling You can also add bee pollen or protein. Blend! *You can even take a spoonful of the papaya seeds and swallow them with a glass of water. They are a powerful parasite killer!

5 Mint Chip Green Smoothie This smoothie uses the power of mint essential oil (more powerful than 30 mint tea bags!) and greens powders full of protein, vitamins, minerals, and more.

6 Chai Chia Oat Pudding Chia seeds are an easy way to get you to go. High in fiber, they actually act as a drawing agent in the body, taking with them food particles and toxins while they re at it.
