Salad Time !


Welcome, My Favorite Salad!




Have you ever heard of "Eating the Rainbow" ?! 
Well that's what you should do, at least
once a day!!!

Throw as many veggies into a bowl, even veggies you don't like!
There are so many veggies you won't even 
notice they are there !!

What I put in my HUGE salads:

*VEGGIES*

Spinach
Collard Greens
Kale
Cilantro
Basil
Green Onion
Zucchini
Tomatoes
Carrots
Celery

*PROTEIN/NUTS/SEEDS*

Quinoa
Raw; almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and pistachios
Raw Goji Berries
and 
Organic Raisins

*DRESSING*

Guacamole
(made with only tomato and lemon juice)



FIRST:








*Wash your GREENS!*
They may be Organic, but you should always
wash your veggies!!








Toss them up!
Mix them up!
Shake, Shake, Shake 





Dry off your GREENS and put  them in a big ol' bowl!!!!!!!





Getting my protein in, QUINOA
all day, every day!
yum yum yum :)











Add in your "RAINBOW" of veggies!!
Don't be afraid to load up!









Now for the Nuts, Goji Berries and Raisins !







Finally add your Guacamole
(this guac includes ONLY tomatoes and lemon juice)








Look at that GREEN GUACAMOLE!!!!!!!
It's pure deliciousness 
:)

What I hope you take away from this post:

*Eat the rainbow :)
*Load up on veggies, do not worry about the "calories"
 if you aren't using fatty calorie filled dressings,
eat to your hearts content!
*Make sure to get protein in your salad like quinoa, beans, or anything you like
*Eat an array of nuts and seeds, be careful not to eat to much (like they say, to much of a good thing [healthy fat] can be a bad thing)
*Make your dressings, HEALTHY!
Throw the fatty calorie filled yucky dressings away!

BE HEALTHY, STAY FIT, WORK HARD!

You rock!
