In the spring, the dark leafy and somewhat bitter greens are especially supportive in detoxing our body after a long, cold season eating heavier, warming foods. Now its time to lighten up our food intake and enjoy what the harvest offers.
When eating with the seasons, we are enabling ...
Seasonal eating has long been touted as simple wisdom and once upon a long time ago, it was the only way most of society could eat. Food wasn't being shipped all over the planet bringing out of season produce to our given area, as well as foods that we wouldn't ever see if it weren't for transport. As fabulous as this is, we actually fare much better when we eat locale and in season foods. This isn't to say, you must always pass on the tropical foods, in contrary, invite them in on occasion, pair them up with in-season foods and enjoy every bite.
You are sure to do just that with this just released Mango Blackberry salad recipe. Maximizing on the familiar, super nutrient-rich spinach and beneficial herbs like cilantro, parsley and basil, the greens pair perfectly with the fats from the avocado and the sweetness of mango.
Taking time to prepare and consume great looking and tasting meals, in a calming manner, is a beautiful gift you give yourself and all you are sharing your meals with. Make a plan to get great at advance prep inviting in the joy of eating nourishing, delicious foods. It truly is part of what makes life so wonderful.
