Fruit Splash

*This drink is so good, but do be careful. Alcohol is not good for weight loss, but if your going to have something this is a good choice.*

What you need:

Vodka

Pomegranate juice

Blue Machine Naked juice



Directions:

Mix to your taste. 

Kale Avocado Salad w/ Vinaigrette:

(makes 2 servings)

What you need:

4 handfuls kale, chopped

1 handful red cabbage, chopped

1 tomato, chopped

1/2 avocado, diced

1/2 cup olive oil

1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp. honey

1/2 Tsp. dried basil

4 cloves garlic, chopped

sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cut kale off of stems and chop (you can save the stems for juicing)
2. Chop red cabbage, tomato and avocado (for a little change up on this dish sometimes i will leave out the tomato and avocado or just leave one out)
3. Mix all together
4. In a separate bowl, mix dressing: Blend the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, basil, sea salt and pepper.
5. Add dressing to the mix and toss. 

This dressing is also very good on meat as you grill it or as a marinade for roasted veggies.

                                                         

Carrot & Sweet Potato "Fries"

I love this one!

Sometimes I will do carrots and yam fries. So yummy!

2 large carrots
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 F 
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and carrots. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and slice like fries. Do the same for the carrots.
3. Put the potatoes and carrots into a bowl and toss with oil, cumin, pepper and salt
4. Arrange on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a stone.
5. Bake for 30 minutes or until the flesh is tender and the outside is lightly browned and the edges slightly crisp.

Green Citrus Juice

What You Need:

2 green apples
2 oranges, peeled
6 big handfuls of leafy greens (kale, chard, spinach, romaine etc. I like to use kale)
