A Power Green Salad with Mangos, Blueberries, Walnuts and Chia, and figs!
I have been feeling a little sluggish lately. I think it might be all the late nights trying to get the site ready. And my energy has been at an all-time low. Maybe the endless cups of coffee are catching up to me.
This baby is just what the doctor ordered. It’s full of so many fruits and veggies for a vitamin boost.
It’s just the pick me up I needed. And the walnuts give that crunchy texture.
And for good measure, I had to add my all-time favorite fruit… Figs.
