And here are three recipes to kick off your "Get Off Your Acid" cleanse!

Mint Morning Blast Smoothie (serves 2)
Ingredients:
1 big handful spinach
1 Banana (ideally frozen)
5 strawberries (ideally frozen)
10-12 mint leaves
1 tbsp. raw almond butter
1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)

Blend high in blender, enjoy! Refrigerate leftovers to make firm. Note: The metabolization of any of the natural sugars in the banana and strawberries will be slowed down and neutralized by the healthy fats in the almond butter and coconut milk to prevent any insulin spikes or acidity.

Quinoa Burrito Bowl (serves 2)
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa (or brown rice)
2 15oz cans of black beans (organic, rinse thoroughly)
4 green onions, sliced
2 limes, juiced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 heaping teaspoon cumin
2 avocados, sliced
Small handful of cilantro, chopped

Cook quinoa by combining 2 cups of water with 1 cup of quinoa in a pot over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, cover the pot and turn heat down to the lowest setting for 30 minutes. While quinoa is cooking, open the cans of beans, rinse thoroughly, and pour into a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the onions, lime juice, garlic, and cumin and let flavors combine for 10-15 minutes. When quinoa is done cooking, portion into individual serving bowls. Top with beans, avocado, and cilantro.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse (serves 2)
Ingredients:
1 ½ haas avocado
2/3 cup coconut water (ideally raw)
1 tbsp. Vanilla
2 tbsp. raw cacao
3-5 Dates
1 ½ tsp. Sea Salt (Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan)

Blend high in blender, enjoy! Refrigerate leftovers (if there are any) to keep firm.
