G'day! I lived in Australia for 7 years, until March of this year - I miss it so much! I saw a nutritionist in Brisbane who really changed my life, or at least, taught me so much (the challenge is putting it into practice but I'm a WIP!).

I love putting it in smoothies too! Fruit smoothies - lately, nectarine, strawberry and kale with unsweetened soy milk. I like using frozen fruit too. Today I sauteed it alongside a turkey burger and it was pretty amazing sauteed as well. What's even greater about it is that it has heaps of iron and calcium! Which are two…
