This mouthwatering, cancer-fighting Tzatziki cruciferous bowl will send your taste buds on a Greek Islands vacation! You will taste waves of delicious flavors such as Tzatziki and harissa, and your body will thrive on the broccoli destroying the breast cancer stem cells. (Side note: If you don’t love eating broccoli daily but want its stem cell-destroying powers, then just take Brooco Power [1].)
All the ingredients are carefully chosen for flavor—and their healing properties. For example, thyme is packed with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral benefits. Coconut oil also heals your gut as its MCFAs fight off bad bacteria, and its anti-fungal properties ward off candida. Garlic does wonders for your immune system and blood pressure; all the other ingredients are picked especially for your healing.
