Asparagus Basil Salad

This week's posts will feature recipes from a menu 

I just created for a client who wants to 
lose weight and stay gluten free. 
Note: I am a certified weight loss coach, not a dietitian or nutritionist. 

You should consult a doctor before changing your diet. 

The daily calorie intake goal for said client is 1200. Assuming you aren’t overly concerned with how much you spend on groceries, this should not be difficult because... I’m taking a Weight Watchers approach to fruits and veggies. This means that if you eat a fruit or veggie, it counts as 0 calories!! Fill up on them!! :-)
I recommend you start each day with a green juice or smoothie to get your metabolism flowing.

For the entire menu, please visit my Etsy shop to purchase for only $15!
