Shaved Brussels Harvest Salad.

Weeeeee! Fall is in full force over here. FINALLY! I’ve been trying my hardest not to will the season faster than it is ready to arrive, because #tryingtobepresentoverhere… but it’s HERE! And I can’t wait to share today’s fall-inspired recipe with you all.

Since I’ve ditched macro-counting + myfitnesspal-tracking completely, I’ve been feeling so much better by simply listening to my body and choosing to eat intuitively. I think it is fascinating that our bodies will tell us what we need if we are just willing to reconnect + listen to them. Lately for me, I’ve had an aversion to all things salad…I think it’s more the lettuce itself, because I know my body craves greens, just not in the crisp, summer way I’ve been eating them the last few months.

I’ve been experimenting with untraditional salads, and my favorite so far has become shaved brussels sprouts. Don’t mind if I toot my own horn, but OMG y’all, the texture + flavor with this fall-inspired recipe is TO DIE FOR. #toottoot

And you just can’t have a fall salad without the gorgeous fruit of pomegranates! One of my fondest memories as a child was picking pomegranates from our front yard tree, cracking them open to find the sweet, jewel-like seeds, and then having spit wars with my brother afterward. #classyiknow

NOTE: Don’t wear a white shirt when extracting seeds.
