H&LBC Day 9 Using Spicy Fat burning Broth & Juice

    Day 9: Fat burning broth & detox juice

    Basic Fat Burning Broth recipe

    • 6 large green onions or large red onion
    • 1-2 cans of tomatoes
    • 1 large head of cabbage
    • 2 green peppers
    • 1 bunch celery
    • rosemary & tarragon for flavoring
    • shitake mushrooms for flavoring
    • 1 hot pepper, as per taste
    • 2 or 3 cloves of chopped garlic
    • 1 4 inch piece of kombu seaweed
    • vegetable broth, prefer low sodium

     

    Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces cover with broth or combination of broth and water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Spices blend or individual spices such as rosemary, sage, thyme, tarragon or oregano, may be added as desired toward the end of cooking. Season with pepper, parsley, or hot sauce, if desired. Because of the bouillon, it will probably require little or no salt. Adding lemon or lime juice enhances the fat burning properties and the taste. Do not add salt.

    This soup can be eaten any time you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. However, if eaten alone for indefinite periods, you would suffer from malnutrition. You may strain out the vegetables or blend the vegetables to add variety.

    Slim down detox juice

    This will enliven your whole body, aid digestion, boost the immune and eliminate toxins. Also good to help your body handle stress.

    2 oranges, peeled
    ½ lemon, peeled
    1 beetroot (no greens)
    1 small handful of spinach
    5 celery stalks
    5 long carrots
    1 inch cube of ginger root, turmeric or dash of spice blend

    Peel the orange and lemon, then juice with the rest of the ingredients. If the fruit is organic and you can handle the taste of the peel, include some peel. You may change up the variety by mixing up the ginger or turmeric root, you may always add some cayenne or spice blend to this mix if you are wanting a savory treat. Also adding cucumber instead of celery will change things up too, I also like to include romaine lettuce or kale instead of spinach, you should rotate your greens if this is a drink you have consistently.

    Bonus tip! Dieter’s Dream Water – Sometimes it’s alright to keep things simple, especially when you’re detoxing. This recipe is basically water that has different cleansing fruits and vegetables soaking in it. The nutritional aspects of these ingredients will be absorbed by the water, and it’s recommended to let this sit overnight for best results. The nice thing is that you can keep refilling the pitcher so you get the most value for your money and use up as much of the ingredients as possible. If you have organic veggies and fruits, don't be afraid to use the peels! Also good to add stevia or spice blend, or freeze this for a frozen treat when you're craving sweets.
