With Broccoli and Spinach to give you that much needed iron boost, Fresh Ginger to help settle your stomach and aid digestion, Chicken for your protein and Kale which is loaded with those anti - oxidants your body is craving when run down - its a win - win bowl of lovliness and always leaves me feeling a little bit renewed.
