Study: Eating asparagus is a good strategy to prevent a hangover, quickly breaking down alcohol in your system and lessening the chances of a miserable morning after.
Serves 2

2 Brown Rice Tortillas (we prefer Trader Joes brand)
½ cup ricotta (if vegan, use crumbled, seasoned tofu)
10 asparagus spears (chopped)
1 Roasted Red Pepper (chopped)

Best Lowfat Solutions
- When baking sub apple sauce (organic, without sugar added) instead of butter/oil; you can also use fresh apple shavings. Adds even more moisture!
- Use organic whole wheat flour or brown rice flour (gluten-free) instead of white flour
- Sweeten un-sweeten ice tea with fresh strawberries, blueberries, or your favorite fruit.
- Mix ½ organic low fat yogurt with / ½ non-fat organic greek yogurt
- When making your own salad dressing use fresh squeezed orange, lemon, or lime juice to replace ½ the oil.
Here are 3 simple suggestions to make your world a little greener:
1) Save the Soil
Buy organic (especially the dirty dozen: http://www.nakednutritionnow.com/blog/organic-or-not/). No, this isn’t something just hippies are into. Organic foods help sustain small farms and protect the earth’s soil and are far better for your body.
2) Organic Tastes Better
No harmful toxins = better favor
3) Create Less Trash:
Pitch the foil and plastic and use reusable containers and shopping bags.
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 medium sized whole wheat pitas (120 calories each and less ingredients is better)
1/2 cup fresh tomatoes (diced or crushed)
1 Portabella (diced and cooked)
¼ cup Ricotta
1/3 cup Arugula (chopped)
1/4 cup basil (chopped)
1 tbsp hot pepper flakes
Separate pita and coat each piece with tomatoes. Top with portabella, arugula, and hot pepper flakes. Dollap ricotta on each pizza. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes, or until ‘crust’ is cooked to your liking. Top with fresh basil.
