Healthy Weight Loss — Without Dieting

5-Minute Broccoli 1

Broccoli, like other cruciferous vegetables,
adds not only a rich source of vitamins A,
C, K, and folate to your Healthy Weight
Loss Eating Plan, but health-promoting
sulfur compounds that help your liver
detoxify potentially toxic substances.

Ingredients:

1 lb broccoli
½ TBS extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Fill the bottom of the steamer with 2 inches of water.


2. While steam is building up in steamer, cut broccoli florets into
   quarters. Peel stems and cut into ¼-inch pieces. Let florets and stems
   sit for 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health benefits.


3. Chop or press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes.


4. If you are cooking stems, steam for 2 minutes before adding the
   florets. Steam florets for 5 minutes


5. Transfer to a bowl. Toss broccoli with the remaining ingredients
   while it is still hot.
