The Wall Street Journal says, “Average Americans eat salads at mealtime only about 36 times per year.” WHAT?!?!?!? I probably do at least 360 meals a year, if not more. How about you?
Some people say eating salad is hard, it’s bland, it’s not filling! Well, I am going to give you a few of MY FAVORITE salad mixers and how I make them to FILL me UP!
First Tip: ALWAYS put an unlimited amount of veggies!
Second Tip: Add SOME TYPE of protein (Boneless Chicken, Tuna, Salmon, LEAN gound round/ turkey, steak) or healthy fat (almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)!!!- It will help you get full!!!
Third Tip: MIX UP YOUR OPTIONS: fruits, beans, corn, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, dried fruit
*** NO SALAD IS EVER THE SAME! I USUALLY USE WHATEVER I HAVE IN THE FRIDGE!!!!!***
