Greens and Fruit Soup
A lovely, thick soup this makes. So refreshing it is to eat this here in Bahia, Brazil.
If you want it to be a smoothie, just add more liquid.

1/2 medium papaya
1 medium mango
6 strawberries

greens of any kind

I used 2 leaves of lettuce, some arugula, 1 leaf of kale, small amount of cilantro

2-3 tablespoons of ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon of coconut butter/oil

pinch of sea salt
coconut water

blend, serve in bowls and decorate with cut up fruit

After the Flush

After the Gall Bladder/Liver Flush, I have been feeling clear and light. My insides want only very simple foods and drinks. Mostly fruits. Have been craving kombucha and drink it daily. I feel I am being extra careful. It feels so nice and nurturing. I touch my stomach, liver area as if sending it care and love....yes, that is what I am doing. Breathing into my liver and gall bladder. It is recovery time.

I made a light green juice today of:
celery
kale
cucumber
zucchini
apples
