Recipe Notes

There isn't a fixed recipe for creating the spring rolls--just make sure you use plenty of fresh ingredients to provide a variety of nutrients. Here are my go-to ingredients for creating a delicious combo:

1. Veggie base - crisp veggies such as zucchini, cucumbers, radishes, cabbage, carrots or beets, for fiber, minerals and vitamins.

2. Fresh fruits - especially citrus, pomegranate and mango, for a tangy twist and extra antioxidants.

3. Avocado - to add creaminess and a good dose of healthy fats to increase nutrient absorption.

4. Fresh aromatic herbs - for extra flavor and digestive aid.
