Where are all my kale fans at?! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏽♂️ Kale is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, packed full of vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Manganese, Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, and more! Kale is also versatile and can be enjoyed with any meal. Try it raw and chopped up for a salad, sautéed for a delicious side dish, or blend it up in your morning smoothie. #KTcolonhydrotherapy #kale #kalerecipe #kalesmoothie #kalesalad #healthy #healthyself #cleaneating #healthyfoods #vitamins #minerals #nutrients #encinitas #colon #colonhydro #colonhydrotherapy #colonhealth #coloncleanse #colonic #alternativehealth #alternativehealing #wellness #healthyliving #sandiegoliving #sandiegolife #encinitasfitness #encinitasmoms #encinitaslocals #healthbenefits #sandiegogram

Do you ever CRAVE vegetables? 🥬🤩 . I always wondered how so many of my patients could feel totally “fine” going days on end without eating a vegetable. I’m talking, not even a slice of tomato or lettuce on a sandwich. If I go a few days without some leafy greens or even just a tiny pop of color on my plate my body is FEELING it. I usually feel less energized, haven’t had a proper 💩, and don’t feel as satisfied at meals. If I spend a few days eating out or I’m enjoying new foods on vacation my body will soon speak up, LOUDLY that it needs veggies. 🙋♀️ . What I’ve come to understand is that for so many people, when having daily veggies isn’t part of the routine, they don’t actually KNOW what it feels like to have that added boost of fiber and nutrients. Their body hasn’t yet learned to feel truly GREAT and crave vegetables more often. It’s not your fault, and nobody is a “bad” person for this, it’s just the habit you’ve gotten into! . We all know veggies are healthy, but until we start to include more of them, and in truly DELICIOUS ways, we won’t get that craving or understand our body’s signal to fill up on a plate of greens! . My body was DEFINITELY speaking up for veggies this week, so this fun fall kale salad has been on repeat for lunch. No chewy kale here 🙅♀️, this salad is massaged with olive oil and tahini and loaded up with chickpeas, wild rice, toasted walnuts, and grapes (plus some feta that I added on later). . If you’re looking for ways to ADD veggies to your diet so you can feel your BEST, give this salad a try. It’s one simple way to start feeling amazing 💃 And let me know in the comments if you want the full recipe posted ☺️ . . #nutritiousmeals #eatwholefoods #healthyeating #balancednotclean #dietitian #nutritiousanddelicious #allfoodsfit #eatbetternotless #intuitiveeating #eatrealfood #easycooking #quickmeals #healthierchoices #quickandhealthy #foodfreedom #goodmoodfood #happyandhealthy #healthylifestyle #healthyish #balanceddiet #nourishyourbody #eatmoreveggies #plantbased #saladrecipe #kalesalad #guthealth #eatgoodfeelgood #trynewfood #todayfood #saladinspo

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, honey, garlic, goat cheese, parmesan, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt and pepper until a smooth, creamy dressing is formed. Arrange Brussels sprouts and apples on a sheet pan and drizzle with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are crispy and apples are tender and caramelized. Combine kale, almonds, Brussels sprouts, and apples into a large bowl and toss it with the vinaigrette. This salad can be served immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the kale to soften and marinate in the dressing.
