As we enter the spring season we look at our home and garden for Spring cleaning, but what about our bodies? We really have two “houses” that need to be cleaned, our home that we live in and our bodies. Just as we accumulate things in our homes, we accumulate toxins in our body that need to be cleaned out as well. With all the leafy greens and light fruits available, what better time than Spring to do this. When eating foods that are local to us and in season it helps assure us of a higher quality food. These foods help cleanse our bodies of the toxins that accumulate and help provide us with the energy to enjoy Spring, but what else can we do?
You don’t have to be Mexican or sabotage your diet to enjoy Cinco de Mayo! There are many delicious Mexican dishes I enjoy, but one of my favorites I whip up all year round is Guacamole. It’s so easy to make and you can put your own spin on it with adding cilantro, different spicy peppers, or just make it plain. Either way, the avocado’s are packed with nutrients, healthy fat, and add your own baked chips and you’re all set. These recipes will have you enjoying your guacamole and chips in less than 30 minutes.
