You gotta eat your Spinach, baby!

It’s hot out and my body is telling me to keep it lean and green…So we had a completely raw dinner. Out of this world amazing! Raw foods are great for all. I’m not against cooked food either, so don’t worry. But….Raw food carries vitamins and minerals that can be lost during the heating process of cooking. Think of a simple salad, without any diary or meat on it, it’s raw. Nothing cooked or cooked beyond 115 degree Fahrenheit, is considered raw. Well, tonights dinner… nothing was turned on in this house. Thank you to my mom for introducing me to rubbing my leafy greens with avocado!

The simple, raw green salad is made with love, first and foremost. But here are the ingredients:

1 Whole Avocado

3 Cups of Spinach

1 Lemon

1 tbsp Raw Honey

Salt to taste

Start by cleaning your spinach and putting it in a bowl. Then cut the Avocado in half. Take 1 half and slice into small pieces. Take those pieces and rub them into the spinach. Mashing and spreading the avocado so it looks like a green sauce. Trust me, hands work best.

In a seperate bowl, whisk honey and lemon together. Once combined pour onto the spinach. Toss around and evenly coat all the leaves. Take the other half of avocado and dice into pieces and toss them into the salad. Give it one final mix, sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Viola! Salad is done…On to the smoothie.

Fruity Green Goodness:

Ingredients, All Organic ( Two servings):

2 Frozen Bananas

1/2 Cup Frozen Blueberries

1/2 Cup frozen Mango

1 Cup of Kale

1 tbsp Hemp Seeds

1 cup of Water

Blend together until desired texture. If you like it thicker, don’t use as much water and don’t blend as long. A liquid base will require more water and either a higher setting on your blender or spend more time blending.

Then dig in and enjoy!

Let me know what you think!

Be well!
