To be clear, this is not our ordinary 21 Day Detox article, but my first-person account. I am a woman in my early 40s. I have 4 kids and 2 businesses. I am a nutritionist, and I am in pretty good shape. I say this to let you know that I already do many healthy things every day, so it takes something very special to really make a drastic difference for me. This did.

And, I’m busy. I like healthy habits that make my life easier, not stressful.

I’ve already consumed a lot of smoothies in my life. This is nothing new to me. But, this recipe included a powder that is new to me. It’s Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood®. More on that below. But first, here’s the recipe and what happened when this was my lunch for 30 days.

30 Days. Here’s What Happened

So, I set off to drink this for 30 days. I had the products, and this simplifies my life, so why not. I looked at it as lunch, not anything really life-changing. Here’s what happened.

Modest Weight Change

As I said, I’ve drunk a lot of smoothies. I’ve also used collagen, fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats for years. The only variable this time around was the Green Supremefood. Here’s what I experienced: I lost 3-5 pounds. I was not intending to change my weight. My lifestyle stayed the same otherwise. I don’t even think that I noticed the weight as I was losing it, but slowly and surely it was dropping. I weigh about once per week, mostly to keep track of my hydration (I’m an avid athlete). By the end of the 30 days, my normally very stable weight was now consistently 3-5 pounds lower than usual. Of note, I always look at weight in a 3-pound range to account for daily ups and downs…this can keep you from going crazy if you track it.

How did this happen? Healthy green smoothies are great for weight loss. They make you feel full because they generally are big in volume. In studies, this has proven successful for dieters (1). They also pack in a lot of nutrients for a relatively small amount of calories. What’s more, the detox nutrients in the  Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood®, fresh fruits and vegetables, and fiber helps your cells to be in a healthy state for weight loss. This means they are sensitive to insulin and ready to oxidize fat. 

Healthier Skin

I generally have pretty healthy skin, but I do experience hormonal blemishes on my face every month. During these 30 days, while I fully expected to see my 3-4 typical pimples, I did not. The days came and went, and my skin seemed to simply be consistently healthy and clear.

I believe the ORGANIC detox ingredients in the  Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood® did the trick. Detoxifying compounds work in cells to make them healthier, including skin cells. What’s more, they help the liver process toxins, so they don’t build up throughout the body. Since this product is USDA certified organic, it certainly does not add to the toxin load like many cheaper products. The consistent shot of Keto Zone Hydrolyzed Collagen certainly didn’t hurt, either.

Flatter Belly

While losing 3-5 pounds may explain the flatter belly, I’ve always had a bit of a belly pooch no matter my weight. I’ve been extremely lean when I was at the top of my athletic competition days – still a pooch. I’ve had 4 kids and experienced weight gain and loss with every pregnancy – still a pooch. Honestly, I’ve accepted it as just how my body is, and I’m fine with it. So, I was amazed to see a flatter stomach, and a looser fit around the waist of my jeans, by the end.

How did this happen? I’m sure it has to do with theKeto Zone Fiber Zone combination of inulin and psyllium husk. It improves digestion, even when you don’t know there’s a problem, and helps reduce bloat. Perhaps my natural pooch was due to bloat throughout the day. It’s not there now.

Better Energy – No Afternoon Slump

I have a busy schedule, and sometimes despite a healthy diet need a cup of afternoon coffee to push through. I noticed an improvement of energy during the 30 days. It wasn’t a hyper or intense sort of energy or change. I just noticed I never needed that coffee.

How did this happen? I think there are a few things that contributed, and some I’ve seen before with smoothies. For one, smoothies allow your gut a rest from digestion because your blender did the hard part. Digestion is incredibly energy-consuming. When your body gets a rest from one function, it has more energy for others. In addition, look at these ingredients. This smoothie is simply jam-packed with energizing nutrition!

Less Hunger

Smoothies can go one of two ways. In my experience, some people feel famished on them. Oftentimes, they are drinking either high-sugar, low-nutrition smoothies. Or, they are drinking smoothies that simply don’t contain enough calories.

This is not a low-calorie smoothie. What’s more, the combination of fiber, high-volume fruits and vegetables, water, and air whipped into it (this always happens with a blender), allows it to help you feel full and satisfied, without needing a big solid-food lunch or an afternoon snack.

How did this happen? Fiber absorbs water from your gut and creates a high-volume mass that expands your stomach and digestive tract. This helps you feel full. In addition, this Keto Zone Fiber Zone promotes slow, healthy digestion. Instead of experiencing a peak and valley of energy, you get slow steady energy.

Disclaimer

I want to be completely honest in an age of tricky internet articles – I work with Divine Health. My job does not require me to report on personal experience with any products. But, I was absolutely blown away by this experience personally and professionally. I’ve become passionate about telling others about the easy benefits I experienced, with just this handful of products and one Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood® smoothie per day.

What Makes this Green Smoothie Great for Detox?

There are many outstanding ingredients in this smoothie that support detox. In fact, all 6 detox systems in the body can benefit from this smoothie. They include your:

• liver
• kidneys
• digestive tract
• skin
• lymph system
• respiratory tract

In fact, the vegetables and grasses in Green Supremefood®, the inulin and psyllium husk in Fiber Zone, and the fresh fruits, greens, and healthy fats in the recipe all promote health and detox.

What’s more, our smoothie boasts a vital compound for cleansing the body. It’s chlorophyll, and it’s found in the greens, grasses, and algae. As you might remember from biology, chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color. Plants use chlorophyll along with sunlight to get their nutrients.

But how does chlorophyll help human health and detoxification? The compound, and the foods that contain it, works wonders for humans as well.

Chlorophyll for Human Health and Detox

Vegetables, grasses, and algae contain chlorophyll. Wheatgrass, chlorella, and spirulina are potent sources of chlorophyll. Spinach and parsley also contain good amounts. In supplements, chlorophyll is typically added as chlorophyllin, which is a water-soluble derivative of natural chlorophyll. This makes it easier to digest when supplemented.

Whether through supplements or natural foods, chlorophyll supports human health and detox. Here’s how:

Natural Detoxification

Chlorella, spirulina, algaes, wheatgrass, and greens promote natural detoxification in the body. Chlorophyll is one of their main agents responsible for cleansing. In fact, studies have found that these foods support the removal of heavy metals and other harmful compounds from the body (1, 2, 3).

One 2011 animal study from Japan found that mice given chlorophyll shots excreted much more mercury from their systems than the control group after exposure to it (4).

Heavy metals can accumulate from ingesting them through foods and supplements, inhaling them from the air, or working in toxic environments or with harmful chemicals.

Experts believe chlorophyll promotes cellular and blood detox by binding the heavy metals and helping the body excrete them.

In addition, chlorophyll may reduce the amount of other non-metal harmful chemicals in the body. For example, chlorophyll has been found to reduce blood levels of dioxin, a known hormone disruptor (5, 6).

Anti-Aging and Skin Health Compound

As a topical application, chlorophyll may reduce signs of skin sun damage. A study found that a topical chlorophyll gel improved skin condition for 12 days after its application (7). 

What’s more, it may be effective against blemishes and enlarged pores. One study found that a gel containing chlorophyllin helped reduce facial blemishes and large pores (8). Yet another study concluded that the combination of phototherapy and chlorophyll resulted in fewer blemishes and less oily skin (9).

One of the primary ways the body deals with toxins is through the skin. As chlorophyll helps the body rid itself of toxins, it may also promote skin health.

Blood-Building Properties

Hemoglobin is often measured to assess the iron status, oxygen, and health of a person’s blood. Chlorophyll is chemically similar to hemoglobin.

In fact, researchers have suggested that supplementation with chlorophyll through wheatgrass may improve hemoglobin levels when deficient. This means better energy, health, and well-being!

Natural Deodorant

When toxins are present in your body, you may also experience more body odor.

Researchers have studied chlorophyll for its potential as a deodorant for many years. Studies have found that chlorophyll supplementation may reduce body odor from digestion (in the case of a colostomy) and skin (10, 11). 

In fact, some deodorants and mouthwashes now contain chlorophyll to help reduce body odor through toxin removal.

Wound-Healing Properties

When the body is healthy, it has an amazing ability to heal itself. A 2008 review found that chlorophyll supplements promoted better wound healing, fewer wound odors, and potentially fewer infections in wounds (12). 

Alkaline Environment

Lastly, chlorophyll is highly alkaline and promotes an alkaline environment in the body. How does this help with detox, cleansing, and overall health? Alkaline diets can (13):

• Improve the potassium-sodium ratio in the blood, which supports bone health, muscle growth and maintenance, and healthy blood pressure
• Increase human growth hormone production which supports cardiovascular health and brain health
• Improve levels of intracellular magnesium which supports enzyme production, vitamin D activation, and hormone balance

As you add more chlorophyll-containing foods and supplements to your diet, you can support whole-body health, cleansing, and detox!
