We are back from another fabulous trip back east visiting family. I definitely let my diet slack a bit when I’m on vacation. You only live once, you might as well enjoy it!
I did manage to squeeze in a few workouts, but it does feel good to get back home and back into my regular workouts and eating clean.
I was really craving fresh, raw veggies and did not feel like cooking in this heat…did I mention it’s well over 30°C, oh and we don’t have central air.
Blah.
Luckily, this recipe is raw and therefore it requires ZERO cooking. It’s so easy to throw together, you’ll have a happy full belly without ever breaking a sweat.
Let’s get to it….
