You’re such a sweety-pie! I love the way you think back to the day he left and are able to see how much you both grew from that separation. It’s clear that you love each other and I hope you wont have to go through another separation any time soon.

Good question, Tonya! I’m actually not sure about the Hartwigs’ take on chia seeds. Maybe we’ll get another commenter who knows!

Thanks, Marcie! It’s pretty yummy.

You’re right, flax seeds are frowned upon during the Whole30. In fact, smoothies in general are! If you read the update at the top of the post, you’ll see why. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it at the time.

You’re very welcome, Erin!

This is the recipe for the cold soup I made (and loved):

Green Avocado Cucumber Soup
What’s in it:
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
2 large ripe avocados
½ cup spinach or kale
2 green onions, roughly chopped
2 apples (crisp and tart apples like granny smith)
2 1/2 cups coconut milk or coconut water
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Parsley for garnish

Optional additions: garlic, ginger, cayenne, dill

How it’s made:
1. In a blender, process all ingredients until smooth. Chill until ready to serve and garnish with fresh herbs.

Enjoy!
