2 recipes to try!!!!

Kale salad!! --Sounds weird i know!! However, do you know kale has collagen?! which helps keep you tight it is great for your body--it is a beauty vegetable. It also contains vitamin B6,K,A,C, fiber, folate and much more.
There are two options for this recipe----you can either put it in the pan or let it marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge (with dressing). I would suggest the pan first if kale is new to you.

Making Kale in the pan: ----side note: i did not look this recipe up so i do not have specific measurements etc. I just made it.

You are going to need: Kale (produce section)----break the leaves off and chop--not small but  
                                                                            enough for a bite
                                      Carrots (long or baby)----peel and shave into long pieces ----if you do not    
                                                                           have the device to peel/shave it then thinly slice it
                                                                           into long pieces
                                       Organic, cold pressed sesame oil
                                        San J Tamari gluten free Soy Sauce
                                        Sea Salt and Pepper
                                        Sesame Seeds
*Add 2 tablespoons sesame oil to the pan with 1/2 cup of water
*add Kale and carrots
*sprinkle evenly sea salt and pepper
*add sesame seeds and 1/3 c of soy sauce
*put heat on 3 (or low) and cover
*after about 20 minutes the kale should be soft enough----add 1 tbs more of soy sauce, 1 Tbs sesame oil and refrigerate----best enjoyed cold!!!

REFRIGERATOR RECIPE:
 *chop the kale and add the sesame and soy sauce ---let it sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes add everything else and enjoy!!!

Okay here is a bit of a cheat recipe----but not soo much. Good time to enjoy? Upon waking, in a rush, sneaking in needed protein, after a workout or before, as a snack.

In blender:
1 cup medium to strongly brewed coffee
1 cup of ice cubes
1 scoop or protein powder chocolate or cookies and cream
1 greek yogurt (rasberry or plain)
6 rasberries
1/2 cup water or soy milk (choc/plain or vanilla)

Vitamix?---smoothies program other Blender: gradually increase to highest speed for 3 minutes

* try it and keep me posted at da corner booth!
