Cilantro or Basil Pesto

Check out this yummy detoxing/energy boosting recipe.  If using cilantro it helps to reduce the buildup of metals like mercury in the body.  Garlic contains sulfur which helps your liver detoxify itself of heavy metals like lead and arsenic.

Spirulina Berry Smoothie

This is a great way for anyone to start their day. Chocked full of good protein and fats. Plus, I add some hydrolyzed gelatin to help keep my arthritis at bay and to support my young athlete's joints.

It’s critical to make sure that you purchase only the highest quality of spirulina. Purchase it from a reputable health food store and be prepared to spend a chunk of cash – about $40 for 150 grams.
