Ayurveda Cilantro Drink
INGREDIENTS:
1 + cup water
1 bunch of organic fresh cilantro (coriander leaves) washed in veggie rinse/vinegar water
1-2 cloves garlic
Juice from quarter to half organic lemon
¼ tsp of Himalayan pink salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place all ingredients in a blend or VitaMix. Blend Until smooth. You may add olive oil or dates (which have heating properties and are high in minerals).
Drink within 5 minutes. Makes enough for 2 people. Drink daily. You may also pour it over cooked rice or curry dishes. You may add cashews to thicken to make a curry.
Note: the cilantro drink is oxygenating (high in chlorophyll), chelating (it pulls out heavy metals), and cooling. The drink is nutritional and not clinical, so it will not pull out the toxins too fast. The garlic is an important ingredient in the drink for balance in the system the drink may deplete you over time because it may pull out minerals from the body, so only use it daily, for about two weeks, then two to three times a week thereafter for sustainable health.
