Ola my friend! Are you craving a body reset? Maybe you have been craving leafy greens but you just did not know what to do. Here’s another vegan salad idea you can try. This mango kale salad will wow you because it is so light, fresh, healthy, and flavorful. Kale and mangos popped into my mind one day after torturing my body with some foods I should not have eaten. This salad actually gave my body a rest and got it back on track. It was a relieving experience. Of course I paired this with good exercise and quality sleep. Remember you are what and when you eat. Ready to make this? Let’s go!

Health Benefits
Some of my favorites for mangos:
- is a cancer fighter thanks to being rich in the antioxidant beta-carotene
- good blood pressure regulator thanks to the high content of magnesium and potassium
- excellent digestive system stabilizer thanks to the amylase compounds and dietary fiber. The amylase helps dissolve food and break down difficult starches.
- great supporter of eye health thanks to the plentiful carotenoids
- your hair and skin will love you thanks to the good levels of Vitamin A and C
