Want a quick and easy feel-good recipe? Here’s last week’s improv: a slow-roasted turmeric salmon topped with coconut chips. Yuuuuum!

It will make you feel great because it’s made with: ginger which boosts digestion and metabolism, acting as a cleansing aid for detox; turmeric which improves digestive strength & promotes beautiful skin (it's a blood purifier that supports the liver and cleanses the lymphatic system) and salmon which calms the mind and brings you back to earth (it's a rich protein full of nourishing fats and oils).

Bon appetit Yoomies.
