Brown Rice and Hempseed Salad


Serves 2 / Hempseed delivers good fats, which reduce inflammation and fuel the brain. Raw parsley, carrots, onions, and lime juice add fiber and vitamins with live enzymes — plus a zingy taste. You'll feel very clean after you've eaten this. Follow with a hot cup of detox tea, if you like.
