Dandelion Berry Smoothie
Spring time cleansing and detox
Green Sluggish Liver Smoothie This smoothie is great for the liver and is ideal for spring time when the liver needs cleansing after a long winter. I only put a very little amount of fruit in this recipe because sugar tends to overload the liver.
Dandelion Berry Smoothie

Notes
- In traditional Chinese and Native American medicine, dandelion has long been used to treat stomach and liver conditions.
- In TCM, foods have a temperature associated with them.
- If they are warm, they excite the body.
- If they are cold, they calm the body.
- With grapefruit, the temperature associated is cooling, making it helpful for ones suffering from weak digestion, a decreased appetite, stomach fullness
