Kale, one of the cruciferous vegetables (like cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli, etc.) is rich in fiber, beta-carotene and numerous flavonoids that can boost your immunity, protect your heart, eyes and breasts, and prevent cancer.

Try one of my favorite detox recipes because it is delicious, super healthy, and it takes only 5 -8 minutes to make. 

It can be a great addition to your Thanksgiving menu as well as to any family dinner.

Kale, Cranberries and Sesame Seed Detox Recipe

• Seaweed Gomasio from Eden Organic to taste (sesame seeds, seaweed and sea salt)
• 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Sizzle garlic in olive oil in a skillet  for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning; add kale, mix thoroughly and cook for 5 minutes covered in a covered skillet.  Add cranberries, sesame seeds, lemon juice, season with salt and serve.
