BREAKFAST:

• 1/2 Papaya

  And/ OR:

• Asparagus Soup. Enjoy this delicious detox soup recipe from Pamela Salzman. Asparagus is a powerhouse vegetable, rich in anti-oxidants, amino-acids and detoxifying compounds! This soup is dairy-free and made creamy with rolled oats. Enjoy!
  

  Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp unrefined olive oil, unsalted butter or unrefined coconut oil

• 1 Medium onion, diced

• 4 Cloves garlic, roughly chopped

• ½ Cup old fashioned rolled oats (check label for gluten-free)

• 2 Bunches of asparagus, about 2 pounds, woody ends trimmed* and stalks cut into 1-inch pieces

• 2 Cups chicken or vegetable stock, preferably homemade

• 2 Tsp sea salt (more if you use unsalted stock)

  Directions:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes.

• Add the remaining ingredients to the pot. Bring soup to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cover pot and cook for 10 -15 minutes until asparagus is very tender.

• Turn off heat and remove the lemon peel. Or for a more assertive lemon flavor, blend the peel or half the peel with the soup. Puree the soup until smooth, either directly in the pot with an immersion blender or in batches in a blender (keep the lid open a crack.)Ideas for garnishes: steamed asparagus tips, garlic croutons, shaved Pecorino-Romano cheese or chopped chives.

Prepare the salad: Combine chopped lettuce, 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced grapefruit, 1 chopped cucumber, 1 chopped celery, a handful of nuts, fresh mint leaves, watermelon radishes (if you have them).

EVENING LYMPHATIC SELF-MASSAGE

• Castor Oil Packs. Castor Oil packs are wonderful to support liver detox, lymphatic drainage and colon cleansing. They can be beneficial for constipation, bloating, inflammation, and sleep while helping to balance hormones and stress. My favorite brand is Queen of Thrones. They make it simple and least messy as possible! Check them out HERE.
