 Hey y'all, welcome to What Chelsea Eats. Thank you so much for joining me today in this video. I'm going to share with you how to make this potent blood building and fibroid healing smoothie. If you want to see how I make it, stay tuned. So I made this smoothie for my daughter-in-law. She actually just had a baby five weeks ago and she is breastfeeding her baby and she also experienced a lot of blood loss when she had her baby, which is normal. You lose a lot of blood when you have your baby and this smoothie is specific for helping to heal reproductive issues, support reproductive issues and build the blood. So we're first starting off with dandelion greens and dandelion greens can be bitter but in this smoothie they're not, they're detoxifying, they cleanse the blood, they cleanse the liver, they cleanse the kidneys and then there's some mint for digestion and actually to give this smoothie some flavor. Also we have about a half of a jalapeno. You can leave it out or you can add more to it. Next time I make it I will add more. It also helps with blood circulation and the hot pepper and the sweet from the fruit that I put in it it sort of balances itself out. Then next we've got the beet which is a blood builder. I only used a half a beet but you can use a whole beet in this recipe. It would not hurt you more beet the better. I added ginger to this smoothie but what I really wanted to do is add ginger and turmeric but I couldn't find it in my refrigerator at the time I was making the video so you can add turmeric to this as well. It makes it even more anti-inflammatory and then adding the chia seeds, the omega-3s from the chia seeds that also kicks up the anti-inflammatory properties as well. Then you add the lemon and when you add that vitamin C from the lemon it pulls everything together and the iron that is in the smoothie is more absorbable by your body and then we have our cucumber which is hydrating and is filled with minerals it has silica it's good for the hair skin and nails cucumber is absolutely amazing and then we have our fruit. So I've got the cherries and the bananas and the dates. The dates is what takes the edge off of this smoothie and keeps it from being very bitter. My daughter-in-law drank this smoothie and immediately her body felt like she could produce more milk and I know that some of you are concerned about that but the other thing she felt like was that her stomach settled and she could go to the bathroom a lot easier after she drank this smoothie. For those of you who are suffering with constipation that is a big deal. So I'm using my Vitamix blender and if you don't have a Vitamix blender use whatever blender you have it doesn't matter but I'm adding my greens first and if you can't find dandelion in the store use whatever greens you can find kale chard whatever spinach I used dandelion then the mint then I added the cucumbers the jalapeno and then I added the beet you can add whatever type of beet you would like you can use red beets golden beets and then I've got the ginger and and be sure to add turmeric if you have that available then you can use lemon you can use a whole lemon too if half a lemon is not enough then I added those chia seeds now it's time for the fruit I've got some frozen banana and the dates I'm adding and then the cherries and then you want to add your water you may want more water but I added a cup and if you need more water add it it just depends on the consistency in which you like your smoothie and then all you have to do is blend that smoothie until it is well combined and look at that beautiful color this may about 45 ounces of smoothie I think about 32 ounces is a serving but you can feel free to drink it all or you can drink one for breakfast or one for lunch however you need to separate it out for your particular liking if you like this video please like it share it with somebody you think it could help and don't forget to look down in the description box for resources on how to heal naturally from reproductive issues if no one told you that they love you today Chelsea in North Carolina loves you very much and I'll talk to you all soon take care
