Things You’ll Need:

• Banana
• Stalk Celery
• Legumes, Eggs or Nonfat Yogurt
• 1/2 Cup Parsley or Spinach

1. Blend a half cup of parsley or spinach, one cup water, one banana, one stalk celery and a few slices of cucumber or beet. Drink this smoothie for two meals a day. This shake will help fortify and regulate the immune system.
