 6 Best Salad Toppings

 

 

We all know how important is to consume fresh salads daily.  They are full of fiber, vitamins, and nutrients and keep us healthy and full.  Just adding different types of toppings can change the taste, the nutrition of the salad.  In addition, they make it a complete meal.  Here are some salad toppings that you should always have in your fridge.   Also, they are the best when you are following a diet/fitness plan.

Grilled Chicken/Beef/Turkey

Grilled Chicken is one of the best toppings for salads.  It is loaded with proteins, minimal fats, and will make a salad almost a complete meal.  Beef is a great choice since it contains iron and it maintains your muscle mass.  Grilled turkey is low in fat, high in protein, vitamin B6, and niacin; that are responsible for energy production in the body.

Goat Cheese

Goat cheese goes very well with any type of salad and gives a lot of flavors.  Moreover, goat cheese contains less lactose than cows milk and it is beneficial for people who are lactose intolerant.  Pair it with nuts and balsamic vinegar, and you have a great flavored salad.

Nuts and Seeds(Walnuts, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds)

Nuts and Seeds are the quickest way to add natural protein and healthy omega acids to your salad. Learn to combine all the nuts and seeds with goat cheese or different types of fresh and dried fruit.For an added flavor kick, roast your nuts and seeds with a little bit of sea salt.

Fruits

Watermelon, Mango, Strawberries, and Pineapple are one of the best fruits to add to your fresh salads.  Furthermore, watermelon is great for summer salads, pineapple contains a lot of digestive enzymes and mango and strawberries are the most flavor-giving fruits for any type of meal.

Boiled Eggs

Boiled eggs are full of protein(6 gr per egg) and contain a lot of vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin D that keeps our bones and teeth strong.  Also boiled eggs are really low in calories one whole egg contains 80 calories.

Quinoa and Beans

Quinoa and Beans are both packed with fiber and proteins and make every salad a complete meal with all the essential macronutrients.  In Addition, quinoa contains a lot of dietary fiber and phytonutrients and a complete amino-acid profile and beans contain vitamin B, proteins and complex carbohydrates that slow release energy thus keeping your full for a longer period of time.

Life is not always easy...

Sometimes we don’t always understand why things happen in life. Who we ended up where we are? What we could’ve done different? Honestly you are who you are because of the challenges and battles you’ve fought.  Was it fun? No..  Did you learn from it? Maybe. Do you have to go through it again?  Yes if you didn’t get it the first time.  Does this make you an awful person? No....just means there was something you didn’t learn and get the first time. Life is not always easy and sometimes feels like when will the mountain move.  Like really I’m tired of climbing. Sometimes you have to get so tired of being tired.

If you haven’t had a chance to join, there’s still time!   Before we begin, I’d love to share a little bit of my story and how this all began. I’m a mom of four—with one proudly serving in the Army, another about to graduate high school, one set to graduate next year, and my youngest still in middle school. We homeschool, and life is beautifully full and busy. I’ve been married to my husband for 22 years, and in the whirlwind of raising a family, I’m so thankful I made a shift when I did—because it prepared me for all the changes that came my way. Seven and a half years ago, I didn’t feel like me.   I was exhausted. My energy was low. My blood pressure was high. I felt rundown, overwhelmed, and disconnected from who I used to be. My husband noticed too—and that was my wake-up call. I knew I needed something to change, but I...
