Recently, I did an NES health scan and discovered that heavy metal detox was a priority for me. As a result of learning this information, I took this zeolite spray to help detox heavy metals, which would also be a great optional addition to this chlorella smoothie.
After finishing a bottle of zeolites, which costs a pretty penny and needs to be ordered online, I decided to drop into the local health food store to see what they had to help detox heavy metals from the body. Thus, I came out with organic traditions chlorella powder. I love having smoothies in the morning or as an afternoon snack, so I came up with this chlorella smoothie recipe for myself that I am now sharing with you.
Benefits of the Ingredients used in the Chlorella smoothie
Chlorella is a green algae that is high in iron and B vitamins. It is especially high in vitamin B12, which vegans and vegetarians often lack and is crucial for the methylation pathway. This chlorella smoothie recipe is a nutritional powerhouse packed full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to combat free radicals.
A study found that chlorella sp removed 77% of lead and 93% of cadmium from wastewater after 12 days. The detoxifying fresh water algae can help detox heavy metals from the body and has many other health benefits.
Exposure to heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, in children, reduced lymphocyte numbers, suppressed adaptive immune responses, and altered the innate immune response, thus impairing the body’s ability to fight pathogens. Detoxing heavy metals is very important for optimal health and immune function.
Cilantro is the other primary superfood in this heavy metal detox smoothie. It has been shown to decrease concentrations of arsenic and cadmium in mice’s livers and kidneys. Heavy metal toxicity increases oxidative stress, so reducing heavy metals in the body is beneficial for reducing inflammation underlying many health conditions.
Coconut water supports optimal hydration in the body as it contains high amounts of electrolytes to hydrate the body properly. Toxins are excreted from the body via water in the urine and sweat; thus, ensuring optimal hydration is crucial for detoxification.

Tips and Substitutions:
- Taste Adjustments: Add 1-2 tsp of a vanilla flavored protein powder to sweetened up the smoothie. You can omit the protein powder and add a date or a touch of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie instead. The natural sweetness from banana and mango may also be perfect for you.
- Additional Nutrients: For added benefits, you can include a handful of spinach and a teaspoon of chia or flax seeds to get the essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for weight loss and contain ample fiber for gut health.
- Chilling the Smoothie: I used frozen mango and banana to chill the smoothie. If you use fresh mango and banana, add a couple of ice cubes when blending to chill the smoothie and omit the water as it will blend easily when not using frozen ingredients.
