Kale is a powerhouse green packed with vitamins A, C, and E, manganese, fiber, calcium, vitamin B6, iron and a whole host of other nutrients. Kale is also packed with live enzymes, which aid in digestion.
Kale Avocado Salad with Tahini Dressing
4-6 stalks kale
Any other veggies you want- I used radishes, pea sprouts, and sliced cucumbers
1-2 tbsp Tahini
Olive oil
Avocado
Lemon
Salt
Optional- sprouts or nuts such as walnuts
Slice up your kale into 1/8 inch bite size pieces and place in bowl. Slice half of the avocado on top and mush mixture in the bowl (preferably with hands) to soften kale. Then, healthily drizzle tahini and olive oil on top, squeeze the lemon, and add a dash of sea salt. Mix well, then top with slices of the other half of the avocado, sprouts and/or nuts.
The state of your pantry is a metaphor for the state of your life.
If you have a pantry overstocked with food and are unable to

Read the labels. I dare you to read the labels! Contrary to what may be told to you by your pediatrician, friends and family, cow’s milk does not have more calcium than almond milk. In fact, it has less!
