You can also get spirulina and chlorella in a powder form in which you can use as a smoothie, or the other alternative would be a super food powder.

Lemon is very cleansing as well. Use half a lemon in the morning first thing when you wake up.

Preparatory Stage before a detox cleanse.
To prepare for a detox cleanse, you need to have a preparation phase. This includes anywhere from a 3 day to a week of consuming fresh fruits and vegetables, including cessation of gluten, and dairy. This of course includes processed foods. Vegetables and fruits can be consumed in as a whole, or as a juice as well.
The detox cleanse days include continuing the same, but specifically in a juice form. You can eat blueberries, cranberries, and celery, as well as add some protein powder, to help the liver detox pathways in supplying much needed amino acids.
On another occasion, you can do about half a cup of cherries, cranberries and blueberries. You can add some coconut or unsweetened almond milk and maybe a green powder. Frequency of smoothies includes a breakfast and lunch, and for dinner you can eat a large salad and wild salmon if you would like.
Supplements

Milk thistle, dandelion, and turmeric. Coq10, resveratrol, as well as lipoic acid. All these have been shown to enhance kidney function. When we deal with inflammation in general omega -3 fatty acids are extremely helpful
Maintenance phase
Following the cleanse ideally you should continue removing toxic foods, and drinks from your diet. When you take care of your kidneys, you are also improving your adrenals and your liver. When you optimize your kidney function you assist all other organs of elimination and relieve any further stress that is imposed on them on a regular basis.
