    Spicy Black Bean + Mango Salad (or salsa)

    Summertime often means outdoor BBQs and lots of parties and friends. Guacamole is my favorite and condiment and dip of choice; but sometimes life needs a little variety. So I wanted to come up with something more protein-dominant but still light and flavorful, yet unique.

    Mango and black beans are a great combination. I love the sweetness of the mango and the heartiness of the black beans.

    Think: sweet, salty and spicy.

    Dip chips into this dip or grab a tortilla and make a lunch out of it. I ate most of it with a spoon; it was that good and light enough to devour. You can add avocado to this if you're looking for more of a meal. 

    It's a great Summertime dish because it doesn't have to be heated up or cooked. Dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free.  And most of the ingredients are ones you probably already have on hand.

    SPICY BLACK BEAN + MANGO SALAD (SALSA)

    Yields: one soup bowl

    INGREDIENTS

    1 can black beans

    1 ¼ cup diced mango (use one that isn't overly ripe)

    ½ super spicy jalapeno or 1 whole medium spice jalapeno, chopped

    2 tablespoon minced mint and/or cilantro

    2 tablespoon finely chopped shallots or red onion

    1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

    1 lime, juiced

    ½ tablespoon olive oil or refined MCT coconut oil (doesn't have the coconut flavor)

    pinch sea salt + pepper (to taste)

    optional: avocado

    DIRECTIONS

    + First, be sure you remove skins and chop everything finely. 

    + In a large bowl, add all of the above ingredients. Note: you don't have to mix the dressing ingredients separately; Just add individually, directly to the salad. 

    + Lightly toss or fold everything together. Adding salt and pepper to taste. Sea salt really brings out the flavors in this salad. So maybe use more than less. 

    + Enjoy as a salad with avocado as well OR grab a bag of tortilla chips and use it as a dip. 

    --> Hey, let's connect. If you make this recipe for yourself or your friends, we'd love you to share some images of the party or salad on Instagram! Tag me @julinovotny or hashtag #PureMamas // it would make my day. Feel free to also leave a comment. Did you like the salad? Thanks and happy first day of Summer.

        Judy. My site has a feature that allows readers to just see the first image and description on my main page. If you like the photos or think the recipe might be good, you click "Read More" (it's in green color writing). sorry if this is confusing. You'll find lots of photos there and a recipe with ingredients. I'm so sorry for confusion.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
