Build a balanced salad, the easy way🥗
Last week, we shared tips on building a balanced smoothie for more energy and vitality. This week, we’re showing you how to create a salad that actually tastes amazing, and keeps you full! ✨
How to build your perfect salad:
1️⃣ Add a carbohydrate source: beans, rice, potatoes, quinoa, or your favourite carb
2️⃣ Add a protein source: tofu, tempeh, edamame, chickpeas, falafel, or your preferred protein
3️⃣ Add flavour: herbs & spices, chilli, lemon, kimchi/saurekraut, sundried tomatoes, olives
4️⃣ Add texture: creamy avocado, pan-fried nuts, seeds, crispy onions
5️⃣ Top with a delish dressing: extra virgin olive oil, hummus, balsamic, or your favourite dressing
Remember, a balanced salad doesn’t have to be perfect!
✅ Include 2–3 veggies for fibre (hello gut health!)
✅ Add a source of carbohydrates for sustained energy.
✅ Include protein to stay full and satisfied!
✅ Drizzle on healthy fats to help nutrient absorption and satisfaction.
