Kale “massaged” with avocado is delicious and I use this approach almost every time I have kale and yummy avocado on hand! The avocado coats the kale as if there was nice thick dressing added to your salad, plus the “massage” helps to breakdown the kale leaf as it’s normally a little stringy/tough, so this softens the kale. Add a wee bit of lemon and top with you favourite fruit and you have a delicious salad. I especially love with strawberries, but I also love other combinations like oranges & pumpkin seed, pears & cashews! The possibilities are endless!
Ingredients:
- 1 head kale, stems removed and cut in bit size pieces
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 lemon, juices
- 1 cup strawberries, slices
Remove stems from kale and rip into bit size pieces. Add 1/2 avocado and lemon juice. Massage the kale until it’s well coated with avocado/lemon mixture. Slice remaining avocado and add together with sliced strawberries. Gently toss and serve. Can’t get much easier than that! 
Enjoy!!

In Cuisinart add 1 cup cashews, 3-4 dates and 4-5 apricots. Pulse until mixed but still chunky – add more cashews/dates/apricots until you get the consistency/proportion that you like best – I like more goey so tend to add more dates/apricots, but I think it’s important to adjust for your own tastes! Add agave at end and use only enough to make ‘dough’ more sticky. Form into tiny balls. Store in the fridge or freezer, although I prefer the freezer as it gives the balls a more ooey-gooey texture. Also, they will keep longer in the freezer and you can easily grab one or two (maybe 3 
Yet another nutritious combination that is filled with antioxidants from the wonderfully fresh blue & black berries. It’s also very high in Vitamin A & C, dietary fibre and manganese and high in magnesium and potassium and a good source of calcium and iron.

Well, back after a week of vacation of sun and sand and back in the swing of things today. How I missed sharing with y’all 
Blueberries are such a wonderful fruit and filled with antioxidants. Add a little banana, chia seed and greens including a broccoli stem, cucumber & kale and you have one power packed bundle of nutrition that is high in dietary fiber, potassium & B6 and super high in vitamins A & C.

I was so pumped!! So I booked myself to start the following week – ok she is in hot demand – so if you are interested make sure you book with her sooner vs. later!
So I started Day 1 not knowing what to expect. Would I be hungry? Would I get so hungry that I would cheat?

And the bonus is, it’s a great source for iron & calcium, it’s very high in vitamin A & C, high in dietary fiber, potassium, B6 and 12 g of protein per serving – how great is that!!
