Fruits and veggies could seem like they can get boring, but there are so many flavor combinations Here is a really good salad https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/brussels-sprout-slaw-ginger-gold-apple I use this when I teach a class on adding veggies to your diet. For the 7 day cleanse omit the parmesan.
Broccoli is an amazing superhero of superfoods filled with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients with only a small amount of calories per serving! You should definitely eat your broccoli! Broccoli retains the most nutritional value when eaten raw, but if you don't care for it raw you can lightly steam it and retain much of the goodness!
Trivia
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson planted Broccoli at Monticello in as early as 1767?
The word broccoli comes from the Italian "broccolo" meaning "The flowering crest of cabbage".
Broccoli was popular in Italy as far back as the 6th century, but was slow reaching the rest of the world.
Broccoli is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber!
