🥗May’s recipe of the month is our Milk Thistle Spring Detox Salad! Spring/summer is the best time to incorporate more seasonal salads into your meal rotations. Young, fresh milk thistle leaves add a nutritious twist to salads, and tastes like slightly bitter spinach. Use young leaves for their tender texture and to avoid the spines on the mature plants. Add your favorite cherry tomatoes, watermelon radishes, and beautiful edible flowers to brighten up your bowl.

Instructions:
1) Harvest or purchase fresh young milk thistle leaves and cut off the edge of the leaves to remove any potential spines. Rinse them under cold water, and pat dry.
2) Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a salad bowl.
3) Add your favorite salad ingredients, such as tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, radishes, roasted nuts and seeds, and avocados.
4) Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, sea salt, and pepper, then toss gently to combine.
5) Optional: sprinkle on some dried crushed milk thistle seeds for added crunch and texture.

Herbs like milk thistle can be an easy, healthy addition to your daily green routine, especially when you need some extra detox support.

🧠May is mental health awareness month and we are all in need of a full overhaul this spring! Here are some key takeaways from her article: Spring Cleaning from the Inside Out: Gut Health, Detox, and Mental Clarity

🥗Support Gut Health: Prioritize foods that balance your microbiome and improve digestion, such as fiber-rich foods, fermented foods (like yogurt and sauerkraut), and bitter greens (like arugula and dandelion). These help detoxify the body, reduce inflammation, and improve mood and energy.
💦Stay Active and Hydrated: Regular physical movement supports lymphatic drainage and circulation, while staying well-hydrated helps your body eliminate toxins more efficiently.
🧘‍♀️Calm Your Nervous System: Practices like mindful eating, breathwork, and meditation can help reduce stress, improve gut health, and restore emotional resilience. Reducing alcohol and ultra-processed foods also helps balance the gut-brain connection.

💪These simple, consistent changes can lead to improved mental clarity, energy, and overall well-being.

Milk thistle, silybum marianum, is a plant native to the Mediterranean, but can be found throughout Europe and North America. This prolific herb can take over like a w**d. The milk thistle seeds have the highest amounts of active compound, silymarin, but you can find it throughout all parts of the plant. You can find milk thistle extracts most commonly in powdered capsules, teas, and tinctures. Perfect for post festival fun.

Milk thistle is well known for its liver supportive effects such as protection against alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis, and mushroom poisoning. However it is also beneficial for blood sugar control, neuroprotective antioxidant effects, bone health support, anti-cancer properties, reducing acne and inflammatory skin conditions, and improving lactation.

Don’t be intimidated by its prickly presentation. You can eat/use all parts of this highly nutritious plant. Stay tuned for our recipe of the month featuring milk thistle.
