IMG_2283.PNG

I call this my anti-angiogenesis drink because it's full of great nutrients that help your body fight cancer and stop it from growing or metastasizing in your body. I designed this drink after watching Dr. William Li's Ted Talk on his discovery of anti-angiogenesis foods that help your body stop cancer cells from metastasizing and therefor helping you beat cancer. He calls it "eating to starve cancer". I will post the video below the recipe for you to see!! ENJOY

INGREDIENTS

2-3 Cups of Kale (steams removed and chopped)
1 Whole Cucumber (chopped)
3 Branches of Celery (chopped)
1 Lemon (peeled and chopped)
1/3 Of A Pineapple (chopped)
1 TSP of Spirulina Powder
A handful of Mint
 

DIRECTIONS:

Throw everything into a blender till it is liquefied and serve.

GREEN BEAN SALAD - VEGAN AND VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY

I like eating salad but I get board of it after awhile. I find that sometimes I don't feel as full as I would like or I need more of a crunch! Green beans are a very good source of minerals and a great lettuce replacement. This salad is quiet easy to make and can easily be taken to work for a healthy lunch option. ENJOY!

Yields One Portion

INGREDIENTS:

1-2 Handfuls of Green Beans - Ends taken off
1 to 2 Tomatos - Chopped
Half a small Red Onions - Chopped
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Steam the green beans for 5 minutes, drain and add to cold ice water bath to stop them from cooking.

While the green beans are steaming add the tomatoes and red onions to a flat-ish bowl so that they can sit and slightly soak in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Next addsome salt and pepper stir it in and let it continue to sit and marinate.

Drain green beans and add into bowl with tomatoes and onions. Mix and serve.
