Summer *Kale* Recipe

This summer I have been hooked on kale salads. Kale is a nutrient-dense super food containing a high potency of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, copper, potassium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. This leafy green has been linked to many anti-cancer health benefits and is rich in antioxidants. 

I recently came across this recipe for Summer Kale Salad. I guarantee you will not be disappointed you tried it!

Ingredients:

4 Cups fresh kale leaves, shredded

1/2 honeydew melon, diced

1/2 Cup sliced almonds (optional)

1 Cup blueberries

Juice of 1 lemon

1 tbspn honey

2 tbspn olive oil

Sea salt & cracked black pepper to taste

1. In large bowl drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over kale and massage (yes, massage your kale) with your hands for 5 minutes.

2. Add melon, blueberries and almonds to the bowl.

3. In another small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over kale. Toss to combine. Let stand in the fridge for at least 15 minutes prior to serving.

Back in Action!

I apologize to everyone for my break in blogging. Life happens and I let other obligations take priority to time I could have spent writing to ya'll. :) For many of us, I know this typically happens with gym routines, meal planning, and overall fitness/health goals. The key to success in all aspects of life is MAKING time and MAKING priority for what is important. Needless to say, I am back in action with my blog and I'm going to be finding my balance again with everything that keeps me on track, focused, happy and healthy.

How has your progress been coming along with your fitness goals? Another motivator to keep your focus is to track everything. From your workouts to your measurements. I would highly suggest to take pictures of your progress, log your meals and workouts, and watch your results happen. With your dedication, motivation, and hard work anything is possible!
