Your digestive system plays a huge role in how you feel each day, and when things slow down, it can leave you feeling heavy, bloated, and off.
As we consume a large variety of acidic foods, our colon becomes a storehouse of putrified waste matter. Many studies claim that over half of the diseases are associated with our digestive health – and that’s no wonder. If our digestive tract isn’t working properly, toxins that are normally supposed to be eliminated, stay stuck in the micro-fine villi that line the intestine and become re-absorbed into our blood stream (ultimately making us sick and chronically ill).
Poor colon health also results in gas, indigestion, acidity and stomach distress. It can also result in people not eliminating more than once per day, when we should be aiming for three bowel movements daily.
After cleansing your colon with the proper foods and replacing foods with healthier ones, you’ll notice a dramatic difference in your day-to-day life. You’ll experience improved energy levels, better digestive health, and clearer skin.
Coconut water kefir is great for improving digestive health and restoring the good flora in our intestinal tract. Ground flaxseeds are also a miracle for promoting frequent bowel movements and absorbing toxins on the way out. The greens in this smoothie take it up a notch to help alkalinize the body and sweep the intestines clean. Bad bacteria, parasites and viruses hate the alkalinity of greens, and will be promptly eliminated once they encounter the green power that is leafy greens!

Comment:where will I get the flaxseed?
Health food stores carry it, as well as grocery stores
what is medjool dates? and do you drink all of that recipe in one serving or does it make enought for a couple of days?
Hey Louise! Medjool dates are just like regular dates – and yes, this is one smoothie and I make it fresh every time!
Would i have this for breakfast and then eat normally (healthy) throughout the day? Would worry about weight gain having 4 bananas a day? I currently have a green smoothie every morning – kale, spinach, chia, wheatgrass, porridge oats, ginger, pineapple, spirulina and bee pollen. How can I adapt this to ensure colon cleanse? Thanks so much!! Sx
No, you will not gain weight with 4 bananas a day, trust me, they are fine to consume. The smoothie you make now sounds great! You can add a couple bananas to that one, if you please.
