I hope everyone is having a fabulous week. I have been so busy working on the websites and getting workouts ready for April.   I spent today soaking up the sun, riding my horse and sprinting outside!  Spring is finally here.  To celebrate I made this delicious dish for dinner.  Hope you guys enjoy

Shrimp With Avocado-Mango Salsa
In addition to being a great source of good-for-you fat, avocados are full of fiber and bloat-busting potassium.

·         8 cups baby spinach
·         1 cup couscous
·         1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
