In the summer, we are al busy with our families and the last thing you need to be doing is being glued to the computer reading long articles so today I thought I would give you one of my favorite recipes!
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.
For whatever reason, this year I have become obsessed with
making smoothies and have seen my clients flourish when they
add them to their diets! I am not talking about the Jamba Juice
variety made with powders, frozen yogurt and sugar, but real-life smoothies packed with fresh fruits, vegetables and supplements!
If you are training for your next marathon, or even just trying to enhance your running speed or stamina, add more dark, leafy greens to your diet!
Yes, I said “greens,” not “protein” as you might have expected! Protein is certainly an important part of a runner’s diet with respect to building, repairing and maintaining muscle. But, so often, when I look at a client’s diet log, I see that they are loading up way too much on carbohydrates and protein, but leafy green vegetables are sorely overlooked!
Need some easy ways to get more greens in your diet? How about dessert? Yep. There is nothing more powerful than adding more greens to your diet! Greens are high in calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, zinc, Vitamins A, C, E and K, folic acid and chlorophyll. Greens help purify the blood, prevent cancer, improve circulation, strengthen the immune system, improve liver function, clear congestion, improve skin quality, lift spirit, eliminate depression and increase energy and vitality. They are also high in fiber and, uhm, get things moving if you know what we mean!
