Today we focus on adding in greens to each meal!
They: boost the immune system with their antioxidants, are
loaded with vitamins and minerals that cleanse the body

etc.), and they add to a strong and alkaline body.
More nutrients = less cravings.
Eating some fat with greens helps their nutrients absorb!
