Let’s be real, life with kids is full of beautiful chaos. Between creek adventures, muddy hands, and “what did you just put in your mouth?!” moments, it’s no surprise our little ones occasionally end up with upset tummies…or worse, unwelcome little guests. That’s why I created my Parasite Cleanse Protocol Smoothie.
As a mama of seven, I’ve learned how important it is to be proactive when it comes to gut health. We don’t wait for things to spiral; we meet them head-on with nourishment and wisdom. And that’s where this smoothie comes in.
Whether it’s a suspected stomach bug, post-swimming funk, or you just feel like your digestion is off, this Parasite Cleanse Protocol Smoothie is my go-to reset. It’s mama-formulated, doctor-approved, and kid-tested. Even little Isaac asks for it and it was a total game-changer after Ezekiel took a gulp of contaminated stagnant creek water. (Yes, that really happened!)
Let’s talk about why intestinal parasites are more common than you think, and how the right ingredients can help your body gently fight back.

Why Do Parasites Invade?
Parasites aren’t just something you pick up traveling abroad; they’re a lot closer to home than most of us realize. In fact, studies estimate that millions of Americans carry some form of parasitic infection, often without even knowing it. These tiny invaders can sneak in through all kinds of everyday activities: eating unwashed produce or contaminated food, drinking unfiltered water, consuming undercooked meat, walking barefoot in the garden, letting the kids play in the creek, or even touching doorknobs at the grocery store and then grabbing a snack.
And here’s the tricky part: parasites aren’t always obvious. You may not see worms or bugs in the bathroom (thankfully!), but they can still be there, hiding in the gut, feeding off nutrients, and releasing toxins into the bloodstream.
Once inside the body, parasites can cause a surprising list of symptoms:
- Digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, and constipation
- Food cravings, especially sugar and carbs
- Chronic fatigue or sluggishness
- Skin issues like eczema or rashes
- Brain fog, irritability, or mood swings
- Trouble sleeping or grinding teeth at night (especially in kids!)
The truth is, a weakened gut is like an open door for intestinal parasites to settle in and multiply. And in our modern world, where stress is high, immune systems are taxed, and processed foods are the norm, it’s easier than ever for these invaders to take hold.
But don’t worry. The good news is that God gave us everything we need to fight back without toxic antiparasitic medication.
Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense, and it’s powerful when it’s well-supported. But when that system is compromised, due to stress, sugar crashes, antibiotics, lack of sleep, or poor diet, it needs backup. And that’s where food-based protocols come in.
This isn’t about fear…it’s about wisdom. We’re not trying to live in a bubble; we’re just doing what we can to create a clean internal environment that doesn’t welcome parasitic infections.
That’s why I created this smoothie. It’s not just filling, it’s fortifying. Every sip is packed with detoxifying nutrients, gut-loving greens, parasite-fighting binders, and natural ingredients that support your body’s ability to bind, cleanse, and rebuild. It’s gentle enough for kids, effective enough for adults, and smart enough to use proactively whenever your family’s had a higher exposure risk.
Think of it like a deep-clean for your digestive system done the way God intended: through real food, natural remedies, and a little bit of mama wisdom.
All-Natural Parasite-Eliminating Smoothie Ingredients
Here’s what makes this smoothie such a powerful part of our parasite protocol: it’s not just a tasty treat, it’s a carefully crafted blend of ingredients that help your body bind toxins, support digestion, and eliminate unwanted guests (ahem, parasites) naturally. Every single ingredient was chosen with purpose to nourish your gut, boost your immune system, and gently sweep out parasitic infections.
This isn’t just something we whip up when a tummy bug hits; it’s part of how we proactively care for our family’s health, especially after creek days, public play areas, or seasonal transitions when immune systems can take a hit. And best of all? The kids actually ask for it.
Let’s break down what’s inside and why it works…
Organic Super Greens Powder: Chlorophyll-rich greens are your gut’s best friend. They help oxygenate the blood, sweep out waste, and keep digestion moving. Spinach is also high in magnesium and fiber, which is great for elimination and gut health.
Our super greens powder from Dr. Z’s favorite brand (a cereal-free and adaptogenic dietary supplement) adds an extra layer of detox and energy support. If you prefer, you can make your own, which is the most budget-friendly option. Parasites thrive in low-oxygen environments. Greens and other liver-supporting foods create an internal atmosphere where they just don’t want to stick around.
Organic Avocado: Healthy fat-based antiparasitic foods like avocado help nourish the gut lining, stabilize blood sugar, and support nutrient absorption, key when you’re healing from any kind of gut imbalance. Fats also help you feel satisfied, so your kids are less likely to ask for sugary snacks after drinking this.
Bone Broth Protein: We use bone broth protein that’s grass-fed and grass-finished. It’s rich in collagen, amino acids, and gut-repairing nutrients. Collagen helps heal leaky gut and strengthens the mucosal barrier. A healthy gut wall = less chance for parasites to linger.
Organic Unsweetened Almond or Coconut Milk Beverage: Plant-based milk is a key part of our healthy diet. We like Califia Farms, but any clean, unsweetened almond milk will do. It keeps the smoothie creamy and dairy-free (since dairy can be inflammatory for many).
Organic Smoothie Bag (Your favorite frozen organic fruits): Frozen organic fruits like berries, mango, or banana help make this smoothie tasty enough that your kids will actually want to drink it. Plus, berries are high in antioxidants to support the immune system.
Organic EG Greens (Indian Gooseberry / Amla): Developed by our friend Dr. Cyrus Khambatta of Mastering Diabetes, this powder is made from amla (also called Indian gooseberry), which is one of the most antioxidant-rich foods on the planet. Oxidative stress weakens your immune response and creates the perfect environment for pathogens to grow. Amla helps strengthen your internal defenses.
TrueCarbon Cleanse (Activated Charcoal + Zeolite): Formulated by Warren Phillips (aka The Non-Toxic Dad), this binder contains zeolite and activated charcoal to grab onto toxins and flush them from the body. As parasites die off, they release toxins. Binders prevent those toxins from recirculating and making symptoms worse.
Organic Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth: This is the hero of the parasite protocol. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a fine powder made from fossilized algae. It gently scrapes and dries out parasites without harming your gut lining. We only use food-grade DE – never industrial grade! DE is rich in silica and acts like a natural internal broom. It physically disrupts intestinal worms and flushes them from the digestive tract, especially when paired with herbal supplements.
Be Proactive!
Don’t wait until someone in the house is doubled over with tummy aches or showing strange symptoms to start thinking about parasites. Instead of treating this as a one-time reaction to sickness, make parasite cleansing a regular part of your family’s wellness rhythm.
Using ingredients like organic greens, bone broth, activated charcoal, and diatomaceous earth on a consistent basis helps your body stay in detox mode, naturally sweeping out what doesn’t belong before it becomes a bigger issue.
You don’t have to do the full smoothie every single day, but sprinkling these ingredients into your weekly meals, snacks, or shakes keeps your gut strong and your immune system on guard.
We also recommend doing a more intentional parasite protocol once a year (twice a year if traveling internationally), especially during the spring and fall when our bodies are naturally more inclined toward detox. Think of it like seasonal deep cleaning, but for your insides!
You don’t have to live in fear or parasites; just stay a step ahead. When you support your system proactively, you give your body the best chance to thrive instead of just survive.

Notes
Need a Faster Option? Try the Kroeger Herbs Wormwood Kit
Let’s be honest, there are days when even blending a smoothie feels like too much. Whether you’re in the middle of character training, chasing toddlers, or just plain exhausted, I get it. That’s why I always keep the Kroeger Herbs Wormwood Kit on hand as a backup. I do this parasite cleanse twice a year, if I’m not pregnant.
The Wormwood Kit is a powerful, herbal parasite cleanse that’s already pre-measured and easy to use. It combines wormwood, black walnut hull, cloves, and other detox-supporting herbal supplements, some of the same ingredients traditionally used for parasite protocols for generations. These herbs and spices are known for their ability to target parasites at different stages of their life cycle. It’s a great option if you’re traveling, low on groceries, or just need a break from smoothie-making.
We’ve used the Kroeger kit during busy seasons, and it’s been a reliable parasite cleanse in our natural health toolkit. Just remember to follow the instructions carefully and always consult your naturopath or functional medicine doc before starting any cleanse, especially if you’re pregnant or nursing.
