I also have a tea before going to bed every night when I am fighting off a cold. Normally I don’t do a shake with my immune booster tonic, but it was late the other night and I was tired and was not very hungry, sooooo I came up with this new shake. :)

On the first morning I had it just like this. The second morning I added some blueberries, strawberries, and cantaloupe. No Vital Green in a.m. shake because I always take that at the same time as my XanoLean and 8Rx in the morning 45 min’s before breakfast.

1 pound of extra lean ground chuck/round may be substituted for the ground turkey.

Distinctively rich in flavor, asparagus is a good source of vitamin C, folate, iron and copper. To prepare asparagus for cooking, hold a piece of asparagus in the middle. Grab the cut end and bend it downward until the cut end snaps off. The asparagus will break in the right spot to remove its woody end.

Kale holds its texture well in cooking. Although any variety will work in this dish, curly, dark green dinosaur kale looks spectacular, especially alongside a mix of red, yellow and orange cherry tomatoes.

Serving on brown rice is allowed day 11+

Green beans, also known as string beans or snap beans, are good sources of fiber and vitamin C. To preserve their fresh flavor and texture, blanch (parboil) the beans, immerse them in ice water to set their color, then saute briefly.
