According to Traditional , greens cleanse and restore

liver function; garlic boosts levels of detoxifying enzymes. Swirl a

scoop of this tasty pesto into plain broth, spread on crusty whole-

grain bread, or mix it with whole-wheat pasta.

 

ChupaNote: add 1 teaspoon (or more, MUCH more, to taste) of red pepper

flakes to garlic at the beginnig. This recipe freezed nicely, but add

1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice to help greens keep color.
