The beauty of Kale 🥬 is that it grows all year round, and it’s chock full of chlorophyll, an immune booster. There are many ways to prepare it, it can be sautéed or steamed, and baked into delicious kale chips. The brilliance of baking kale chips is that it’s a perfect superfood savory snack. It can be prepared and stored for just the right craving moment without consuming any nasty additives, sugars or colorings. It just takes a little olive oil, I love to sprinkle crushed garlic, salt and brewers yeast, or Parmesan cheese, it’s all up to personal taste. Enjoy! 🥬

Detoxing and fasting is a challenge, so make sure you’re well informed, have a supportive environment, and make it a project like any other. Be consistent, patient and write down your progress. I’m on my third week of detoxing, and love the changes I’m experiencing. Such as mental clarity, more energy and flexibility, and weight loss.

My new love affair with Kiwi berries 💚 The tangy flavor includes Kiwi, and reminiscent of pineapple and passionate fruit that explode as they pop in your mouth. I came across them at a farmers market, with the growers explaining their nutritional value high in vitamin B and potassium. Generally organic fruits and vegetables have lots of various nutritional value, so just pop and enjoy the guilt free candy like fruit. Photo recipe: Mango, Kiwi berries, coconut yogurt, chia seeds, golden flax seeds.
