Warrior Princess Waldorf
T
his is my healthy spin on a classic, itβs full of immune boosting ingredients, a perfect autumn/winter salad.
The goodness includes: Black grapes that are anti-inflammatory, reduce water retention and have strong antioxidant phytochemicals. Celery that contains plant-based sodium and potassium making it a natural diuretic to help detox and flush your body of excess fluid.
Pumpkin seeds and walnuts are full of zinc and amino acid tryptophan than help promote calming serotonin in the body. And not forgetting the humble apple! Full of prebiotic quercetin β a free radical defender and natural antihistamine.
All together itβs super delish.
