Water with Fresh Lemon Juice

Starting my day with a glass of water infused with fresh lemon juice sets the tone for everything else. Hydration is essential, and the lemon juice helps to flush out toxins that may have accumulated overnight.

It's a simple yet powerful ritual that not only hydrates but also stimulates digestion, supports liver function, and boosts my metabolism. The vitamin C from the lemon is a great immune booster and gives my skin that extra glow, all while keeping me feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead.

Fresh Organic Celery Juice

Next up is my morning dose of fresh organic celery juice, which is the ultimate liver cleanser. Celery juice is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s fantastic for balancing the body’s pH levels. By supporting liver function, celery juice helps my body process toxins more effectively.

It’s become a must-have in my daily routine, ensuring that my liver stays healthy, my digestion smooth, and my skin clear. This natural detoxifier helps me feel light and energised throughout the day.

Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie with Dr. Sebi’s Cell Food

This smoothie is a game-changer. Loaded with ingredients like wild blueberries, cilantro, and spirulina, it’s specifically designed to help remove heavy metals from my body that accumulate from environmental pollution, food, and water. I blend it all with Dr. Sebi’s Cell Food, which brings a whole host of nutrients that support hormone balance and overall vitality.

This smoothie not only cleanses but also nourishes on a cellular level, helping my body stay free from toxins while promoting optimal liver function and hormonal health. It’s a nutritional powerhouse that fuels my morning.

Large High-Protein Plant-Based Meal

For lunch, I focus on a hearty, high-protein plant-based meal. It’s typically packed with a variety of legumes, such as lentils or chickpeas, along with a mix of vibrant vegetables and whole grains like quinoa or brown rice. Protein is key to keeping my muscles strong and my energy steady, but it also plays a vital role in maintaining hormonal balance and supporting my liver.

This meal is satisfying and energising, ensuring I get the necessary macronutrients while also supporting my body’s detox processes. Every bite is designed to keep me thriving and balanced.

Fresh Seeded Watermelon

As a mid-day snack or dessert, I love indulging in fresh, seeded watermelon. It’s incredibly hydrating, which is crucial for keeping my body in tip-top shape. Watermelon is packed with antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C, which help reduce inflammation and keep my skin looking youthful and vibrant.

Plus, it’s a great source of natural sugars that provide a quick energy boost. Eating watermelon feels like a treat from nature, and it keeps me cool, hydrated, and refreshed.

French Fries

Yes, I eat French fries! Balance is everything, and I believe in treating myself. While I’m all about healthy eating, sometimes I just crave something indulgent, and fries hit the spot. I don’t feel guilty about it because maintaining a healthy lifestyle also means enjoying the foods you love in moderation.

Life’s too short not to enjoy a little comfort food, and fries give me that perfect crispy, salty treat without overthinking it.

Staying Hydrated Throughout the Day

Throughout the day, I make sure to keep my water intake high. Hydration is essential for every aspect of my health, from keeping my energy levels up to ensuring that my skin stays clear and glowing.

Drinking plenty of water helps my liver efficiently detox, supports digestion, and helps my body flush out any impurities. It’s my secret weapon for staying vibrant and energised, and I never underestimate the power of simply staying hydrated.

Questions and Tips:

What equipment can I make this recipe in?

You’ll want to make sure your blender is strong enough to handle frozen fruits without leaving chunks behind.

For the Smashed Chickpea Sandwich, all you need is a large mixing bowl, a fork or potato masher to smash the chickpeas, and a sharp knife for chopping your fresh vegetables. A toaster or grill is handy for toasting the bread to your liking, while a small spoon or spatula can help with spreading the chipotle sauce evenly on the bread. Simple tools make this recipe quick and easy to put together!

Are the extra toppings necessary?

No, but if you're looking to switch things up, you can try adding avocado slices for extra creaminess or thinly sliced radishes for a crunchy, peppery bite. Sprouts, roasted red peppers, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast can offer different textures and flavours, keeping the Smashed Chickpea Sandwich exciting and versatile.

What else can I serve with this Stunning Smoothie and this Smashed Chickpea Sandwich?

To complement the Stunning Smoothie, you can serve light and nutrient-rich snacks like a side of mixed nuts, chia seed pudding, or a bowl of fresh fruit to keep things refreshing and balanced. Adding some homemade granola on top of the smoothie for a crunchy texture can also elevate the experience. These pairings will keep you energised throughout the day without overwhelming your palate.

For the Smashed Chickpea Sandwich, serve it alongside a crisp side salad with mixed greens, cucumbers, and a lemon vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast. You could also pair it with roasted sweet potato wedges or a warm bowl of vegetable soup for a heartier meal. These sides add variety and depth, making your meal more complete and satisfying.

How long do these recipes last?

The Stunning Smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, you can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The vibrant nutrients and flavours are most potent when consumed immediately, but if you store it, give it a good shake before drinking as the ingredients may separate slightly.

As for the Smashed Chickpea Sandwich filling, it can last up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. The flavour of the chickpeas and vegetables actually develops over time, making it even tastier. However, it’s best to assemble the sandwich fresh, as the bread can become soggy if stored.
