Juice reboot starts tomorrow….let’s see how long this lasts. GOD I LOVE MEATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Avocado cilantro dressing that I conjured up….love it on lettuce wraps.

Ingredients:

3 ripe avocados

1 slice of lime

1 tbsp of dried oregano

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

6 tbsp of olive oil

and 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 

salt and pepper to taste

Add all ingredients in a blender…squeeze in the lime juice and blend. May need to add water if the avocado is to this. Then just add to a condiment bottle. Make sure to put the seeds in the mix also to keep the green color. Unless you don’t mind looking at a nasty brown. NOM NOM NOM

Registered for the COLOR RUN in KC…yesssssssss

LOVE MY NEW JUICERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…new addiction.

According to the journal abstract “Dietary Fiber: How Did We Get Where We Are?” the principle actions of fiber are to alter the nature of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract and to modify the absorption of other nutrients and chemicals.
