Feel Good Guru

OOH this big fat spinach salad from “Feel Good Fast: Spring!” was so delish I wanted to share the combo with you ~ the zing from the lemon juice and spiciness from the ginger are nicely balanced with the softness of the avocado and the sweetness of the apple. The hiziki gives it a lovely subtle sea taste and the toasted pumpkin seeds add the nutty crunch.

It’s a full on mega cleansing meal loaded in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, protein and flavour! Yum yum! Dive in and cleanse on;) (more…)

There’s a reason asparagus is wildly abundant at this time of year at farmers’ markets across North America. Nature knows our body is in need of a spring cleanse, and asparagus is a superb and succulent detox veg.
