Soon you will see that, more than a recipe, this detox salad with red chicory & apple is an idea to go on. This is how I get back to you, starting with me. Yes because I’m no longer twenty years old and and I must approach the 28 years of age threshold, it’s time to take C A R E. Mindful of: 1) healthy mind in a healthy body, 2) we have only one body, 3) we are what we eat etc. the time has came to preach well and do this. Although loyal to cause, far be it from me to turn in an health nut woman, I‘m just suggesting that having a body a little less full of fat andcarbohydrates can only make us feel better. As a first step, I leave you an idea for a tasty and appetizing salad, you can tailor on your palate, to enjoy it as an appetizer (or if you’re better than me as a main course) to fill your tummy and avoid subsequent binges. Because in the end, after so many speeches, it’s that I want my flat stomach back. No getting around it – because if I don’t batten down the hatches, in a moment I begin to trundle.

PROCESS
