Green Detox Bowl? Right. Detox dishes probably seem a weird thing at this time of the year. It’s Christmas! Time to stuff our faces silly until we explode like a piñata. Not. I don’t believe in festive gorging, or gorging of any sort at any time throughout the year. (Plus, it’s Summer right now in Australia…so you can’t blame me for wanting to shed those last 10lbs!).

    Ingredients
      

    • Thai Basil Pesto:
    • 1/3 cup chopped Coriander
    • 1/4 cup chopped Thai Basil
    • 1/2 cup packed Baby Spinach
    • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
    • 1 teaspoon Cane Sugar
    • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    • 1 cup chopped Kale
    • Zest of 1/2 a lemon
    • Tiny pinch of Sea Salt

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare Thai Basil Pesto by blending all ingredients together in a food processor for a minute. You still want to be able to see flecks of the herbs, so don't blend it till its super smooth. Set aside.
    • To warm cooked rice, stir in 4 tablespoons of your Thai Basil Pesto and stir till mixed through.
    • To steamed Broccolini, stir in 2 tablespoons of your Thai Basil Pesto and stir through.
    • Place rice in a bowl, top with Broccolini, Carrot and Avocado.
    • At the last minute, heat a pan with oil and cook Kale with Lemon Zest and Salt till just wilted. Transfer wilted Kale to your super massive bowl of food and enjoy.

        I think the lime is missing from the basil pesto ingredients. How much lime do you add?
