Then we can choose between one of the following breakfasts, which we can alternate each day if we wish:

• Option 1: Fruit smoothie (apple, pear, pineapple or banana) with vegetable drink of oatmeal or rice, a teaspoon of brewer’s yeast, a teaspoon of ground pollen, a handful of prunes and ground almonds.
• Option 2 : Whole wheat toast with tahini (sesame pate) and avocado

• Option 3 : Whole wheat sandwich with tortilla.

Half morning

Since this cleansing is not a weight loss regimen we do not have to starve. Therefore, if we are hungry in the middle of the morning we can always eat a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts.

Process

What we should take every day at mid-morning will be an infusion of one of the following medicinal plants:

• Boldo.
• Milk thistle
• Dandelion.

Food

It is convenient that the amounts are normal, neither stay hungry nor gorge on food.

The meal will be based on three dishes that we can combine or mix:

• First course: Gazpacho, salad or roasted apple.
• Second course : Brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat pasta, millet or baked or baked potato.

• Third course : Fish, white meat or legumes.

We can dress meals with extra virgin olive oil, a little sea salt and apple cider vinegar. Finally, after the meal we will take another of the infusions mentioned above.

In mid afternoon

Process

In the middle of the afternoon we can have something like mid-morning  and combine it with the third and last infusion of the day.
