1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
Add all to blender and blend well. Add water if needed to make consistency of soup.

If you always do what you've always done...
...then you will ALWAYS get the SAME RESULTS!
So…change the way you eat! Here’s a new way to think about your meals for the day.
Breakfast: To begin, start the day off right with a healthy shake. Make yourself a Mlis shake and add banana or other fruits. Or go green and try a Green Smoothie Girl smoothie!
Lunch and Dinner: Rethink these meals. In order to lose your weight and keep your weight off you’ll need to change your habits.
One thing that you can change forever is your reliance on breads, pastas, potatoes and meats and the staples or themes around which you prepare meals. Replace those heavy starches and meats as your meal base with a fresh salad as your base.
Learn to live on “Main Course Salads.” Instead of thinking, “What can I put on rice?”…think “What can I put on a salad?”
Instead of a pasta dish, make a big salad and top it with whatever you would have put on your pasta. Instead of a sandwich made of two pieces of bread, try a delicious veggie filling wrapped up in a big lettuce leaf or collard green. You can get very creative with this! This will take some creativity, but once you figure this out, you’ll love this new way of eating. Salads will satisfy your desire for fresher more nutritious foods. They give you less of what you shouldn’t eat and more of what you should eat.

Create Your Own "Main-Course Salad"
Decide the theme of your salad. What additions do you wish to put in your salad? What do you crave? How can you work that into your salad? What does your body need to stay balanced? Keep in mind that your finished product will not and should not look like an ordinary salad. Be creative. You’ll find a lot of satisfaction with this new mindset and new way of eating.
