First we have this smoothie that is meant for two people it makes about 72 ounces it has four cups of unsweetened coconut milk three large handfuls of spinach three cups of frozen cherries one cup of peaches two fresh bananas also two dropper fulls of liquid chlorophyll the link will be in the description box below with the brand that I used one dropper full of vanilla stevia and that's it and all I did for this recipe is blend it until smooth and I shared it with my husband and although this smoothie looks pretty disgusting you see the ugly green color it was absolutely delicious probably one of the best smoothies that I have ever eaten or shall I say drank so I just split it between me and my husband and that kept me going for the entire morning also if you're not using a Vitamix or you're using a smaller blender please cut this recipe in half or to fit your blender because this is a lot of smoothie all the recipes in this video will be below in the description box next I'm going to share with you my lunch now for my lunch meal I am making a lemon lentil soup these are red lentils I'm putting in here this is one cup of red lentils rinsed and drained adding two cups of carrots chopped one cup celery chopped next we're going to add some black pepper to taste that's probably about an eighth of a teaspoon next is some coriander three quarters teaspoon you can also use cilantro instead then we have one full teaspoon of cumin then we have two healthy vegetable boyan cubes the ones I use will be linked down below in the description box and then we've got some cayenne this is optional you can do it to taste if you like a little kick then use the cayenne if not leave it out and I've got one teaspoon of thyme I love thyme and soups it does wonders and we're going to add a little bit of fat to the soup just so it's more satiating and I'm adding one and a half tablespoons of almond butter unsweetened and unsalted and then we're going to add the juice of two whole lemons I think the lemon added to this soup is what made this soup I really really enjoyed it also I'm thinking you probably could use limes for this one day I'm going to make it and add limes instead of lemons and let you know how it turns out now we're going to add our water I'm adding about four cups of water and y'all know I'm using an instant pot you can probably make this easily on top of the stove you just have to adjust the cooking time based on how long it takes to cook lentils in a either a crock pot or on top of the stove and I am adding the lid onto my instant pot so I cooked my lentils for 30 minutes it's all done everything is nice and soft I'm stirring everything together so that all the flavors melt together smells so good anyway I'm going to add some fresh greens to this I have spinach on hand so I'm taking about I think it's four packed cups of spinach that I'm using for this recipe I'm just going to put all of them in there and stir them in there you can use as many as you want because what happens is as you stir the greens down into the hot soup they sort of cook down a little bit so I could have even added more for more nutrients so now I'm just going to plate my soup looks so good it really did taste good y'all you have to try this recipe it's very light it digests easily and I just loved it the other thing that was surprising about this soup is that it was creamy I loved it so you know we have to get in our salad every day especially if you don't get enough greens in from your smoothie or your green juice you've got to get these greens and especially if you're trying to reverse iron deficiency or anemia or mineral deficiency in general so I have washed and dried washed and dried and chopped one head of romaine that I am dividing between two salads one for me and one for Kenny he's my husband the goal for the day is to get in at least one pound of leafy greens a day I know that sounds like a lot but you need them for your minerals and so that you can stay satiated and so that you can kick cravings remember the exact ingredients to these recipes are down in the description box I've got a six ounce package of blueberries that I'm split between the both two salads and I have a half a cup of red onions chopped that I'm adding to the salad and then I have about a half of an avocado that I've smashed up that I'm going to split between the two salads and then we're going to add some tomatoes I'm going to split a half a tomato between the two salads then I've got some chopped cucumber I peeled these cucumbers because they weren't organic and they had that waxy film on each side so be sure to peel your cucumbers if they're not organic especially if they have the waxy build up on the outside next I'm going to add some crunch to the salad I'm adding some pumpkin seeds some raw pumpkin seeds I love adding these to my salads but you can choose whatever you want now it's time for seasonings this is how I like to make my salads taste goods I love Benson's table tasty I sprinkle it all over my salads and it gives them flavors Benson's table tasty has a variety of different flavors you can look down in the description box for the link for the ones that I like and now for the salad dressing this is a lemon basil vinaigrette there's two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar half a cup of water quarter cup of red raw almonds quarter cup of raisins third cup of fresh basil one teaspoon of Dijon mustard and you can add salt to taste I did not add salt but this was creamy and it was very fragrant it tasted really good too when I make my salad dressings the thing that I like to do is to make enough for a few salads so I store them in glass mason jars and I pour it in there and then I screw on the lid like a plastic lid and I keep it stored in my refrigerator for three to five days after that for fresh salad dressing you need to throw it away so now y'all know what I typically eat in a day this is different every day but it usually has something to do with a smoothie a juice a soup a salad or some type of vegetable medley that's usually what I eat but I eat a variety of different foods sometimes and then sometimes I eat the same thing over and over and over again but if you would like some examples of what I eat go back through my videos and watch the recipe videos if you want to know more about what I eat you also can feel free to purchase my seven day meal plan it is it is linked down in the description box I also have a juicing recipe ebook so you can see some of the recipes I use for my juices as well I'm also coming out within the next 30 days or so with my volume two seven day meal planner so I'm excited about that and the biggest thing is if we keep on eating clean and we eat foods that help our bodies to heal we will feel better we will start to eliminate those pesky symptoms and those fibroids will start to shrink the endometriosis will start to heal the
