These ingredients have been specifically chosen to detoxify, alkalinise and heal the body. Eating one bowl a day will promote clear glowing skin, a healthy digestive system and endless vitality. Leafy greens are power-packed with naturally occurring nutrients including chlorophyll, beta carotene, vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, amino acids, calcium, potassium and magnesium. They work as a natural anti-inflammatory in the body and a key nutrient in supporting digestive health and detoxification in the body.

Ingredients:

4 handfuls mixed leafy greens (cos, butter lettuce, iceberg, rocket, spinach, micro greens etc)
1 avocado, quartered
2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds
2 Tbsp roasted buckwheat
2 Tbsp goji berries or the jewels from 1 pomegranate
2 Tsp ground flax seed (linseed) or LSA

Method:

Arrange the salad leaves into serving bowls.
Add the avocado quarters and sprinkle over the seeds, buckwheat, flaxseed and goji.
Combine dressing ingredients and drizzle over the top of the salad before serving.
Make a simple dressing – 4 tablespoons cold pressed olive oil and 2 tablespoons balsamic or lemon juice.
