Prep Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2

This salad is refreshing, cleansing and great to restart your week. I always like to have my protein prepped for the week to add to this for a work lunch.

Salad:

  • 2 cups kale, thinly sliced (Trader Joe’s has organic all cut up)

  • 1.5 cups broccoli florets

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and grated

  • 2 small beets, washed and grated

  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • ½ cup sunflower and or pepita seeds

    Optional protein addition (4-6 oz Grass Fed skirt steak, 2 eggs, 1 chicken breast, 4- 6 oz wild fish, canned wild sardines/wild salmon)


Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup MCT oil

  • ⅓ cup lemon juice, fresh

  • 1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and grated

  • 1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard

  • 1 teaspoons pure maple syrup/ raw organic local honey (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, add more to taste


Instructions for smoothie:

  1.  For dressing either whisk together all ingredients or put everything in a small blender and set aside until ready to use.

  2. Optional step for kale sensitive people: Lightly steam kale / and or broccoli in a pan for about 2 minutes with a little water (this helps break down kale) and then strain excess water out, pat down.

  3. Add rest of ingredients to bowl, add dressing.

  4. Top with protein of choice if using.
