This Fennel Avocado Chickpea Salad contains the best of everything. Essential Fatty Acids in the form of hemp oil, tahini and avocado. High-quality protein the form of quinoa and chickpeas and an alkalinity boost from the fennel, lemon, red cabbage, raw coconut vinegar, fresh mint, parsley and alfalfa. I love using Raw Coconut Vinegar in my salads. It supposedly has even more healing effects than raw apple cider vinegar as it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. The naturally occurring acids found in raw coconut provide the body with essential minerals such as potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium.Read More

This Strawberry Chocolate Smoothie is a green smoothie in disguise. Romaine Lettuce is rich in chlorophyll but has a rather neutral flavor. Green smoothies can sometimes have a distinct bitter taste. Romaine Lettuce works great for making a a lighter and sweeter smoothie. In this smoothie it helps to bring out the fruitiness and sweetness of the strawberries instead of overpowering it. If you are craving something sweet, this Strawberry Chocolate Smoothie is a great healthy fix. The combination of strawberries, banana, cacao, avocado and almond milk creates a silky smooth, creamy chocolate drink. This Strawberry Chocolate Smoothie is the best way to get a healthy chocolate fix! Read More

This simple recipe for Mediterranean Dinosaur Kale Salad combines the flavors of the Mediterranean with the super food power of kale.
