Strawberry Avocado Salad

Walnut pieces dipped in Agave (gives that sugared nut taste)

Green Smoothie with apple and lemon

Green Smoothie with Apple and Lemon

1+ Cup of Spinach
2 Apples (chopped)
1 Lemon (juiced)
1-3 C Cold water
Mix in the blender
Mine got pretty thick from the apple, so I added more water and kept stirring it as I drank it. The lemon really drowns out any spinach flavor.

1+ C Almond Milk]
Swirl or 2 of Agave
Ice (opt.)
