Nourish & Bloom Bowl

A vibrant spring salad bursting with seasonal goodness spinach, radicchio, crisp apple, crunchy carrots and radishes, creamy avocado, hearty beans, and walnuts. A fresh, plant-based meal to help you feel your best this season.

No matter where you live, we intuitively start to detox around this time of year by taking the opportunity to spring clean our homes and declutter! On the weekend I cleaned out the fridge, wiped down all the windows and cleaned out the car. It felt soooo good!

Our bodies need a spring cleaning too after being bunked up inside for most of the winter where we experience lower activity levels, less exposure to light, a higher consumption of carbohydrate-heavy foods and greater toxic accumulation as a result.

This is why you need this Nourish and Bloom Bowl in your life! It will give your body a good dose of foods that help your body naturally detoxify like carrots, radish,  raddichio   and more.

Here are just a few of the many benefits (which I also share in my book Joyous Detox) you can reap by incorporating  detoxifying foods   and  habits   into your life:

  • increased energy and vitality
  • vibrant glowing skin (the skin is a mirror of the inside health of your body)
  • improved digestion
  • reduced cravings
  • a feeling of empowerment

This salad is …

  • Delicious and deeply nourishing with loads of vitamin C, B-complex vitamins like folate, minerals such as magnesium and potassium
  • Rich in gut-loving insoluble and soluble fibre which fuel for your gut microbes
  • Loaded with antioxidants which help neutralize free radicals that can harm your DNA and make you age faster
  • Gluten-free and dairy-free

The dressing is a simple apple cider vinegar honey dressing that I make all the time. I love using  apple cider vinegar   because not only is it detox-friendly but because it’s fermented and it helps to nourish our microbiome too.
