Here is one of my favorite simple Summer recipes to help you feel and look fabulous. It’s an easy to make weight loss detox recipe that uses the cleansing herb Dandelion.

Dandelion is known as a detox herb and liver cleanser. But did you know that the Dandelion leaf is very rich in Vitamin A, which we can use for cancer prevention, a healthy heart, to improve your eye sight, and for glowing skin. You should also remember that Dandelion is a gentle diuretic so don’t forget to drink more water to stay hydrated, particularly when it is hot outside.
