โœจ Benefits

  • Hydrating and mineral-rich

  • Supports digestion and gut balance

  • Naturally energizing without heaviness

  • Free from seed oils and ultra-processed fats

Note: If you add fresh apples to this salad, toss them lightly with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice before mixing them in. This helps preserve their color and keeps them crisp and bright instead of browning.
