Its made with fruits like apples and nectarines for some added sweetness. We are also adding some nuts and seeds for proteins, fat and extra minerals.

Don't hesitate to substitute the spinach with lettuce or rocket (arugula) salad. The same goes for the nuts; feel free to add those that you like and/or are available.
Throw in some red pickled onions or any pickles that you have to add some zing to the taste.
