This recipe was one of my favorites! It’s not your typical “diet food” as it’s full of substance and flavor. I love a great bowl for this very reason, and I wouldn’t have thought that I would get to eat such a meal during the detox cleanse. That’s the trick to this program, though – you don’t feel like you’re being cheated out of pleasure while you put your health first!
