Eating salad doesnโt have to be a chore because of blandness, dryness or greenness!
Don’t Let This Be You ๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ
Salads are ย normally made by combining both Lettuce or mixed Vegetables with toppings and some dressing. ย
ย
There are so many different foods that you can add Salad with in your meal consumption’s, of course some are more Di Nutritional than others.
ย
ย So here are some foods that get the Di Nutritional stamp of approval for you to put on your Salads from now on.
ย
Oil
I mean I could eat it dry and be very happy, but I have to admit that no Salad is at its full potential of tastiness without itโs dressing.
ย
I came across a study and it said that people who ate Salads with Oil in the dressing absorbed more nutrients from the Vegetables than those who had unhealthy dressings on theirs. ย
ย
Oil has our good source of fat so we can make a full fat Salad anytime we want because itโs good for us!
ย
What kind of Oil to use?
ย
Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Oil & Avocado Oil. ย ย
ย
There are plenty more that are healthy for you, but I donโt want any of you to think that Vegetable Oil is healthy to have as it isn’t.
ย In fact, have a read of this (Click Here)
ย
Whole Grain Foods
Keeping it all the way 100 with what we put next to our Salads, so foods such as…
ย
Quinoa & Brown Rice:- these grains will add texture and some flavour to our Salad.
ย
Whole grain foods also have lots of Fibre in them and this always keeps us feeling fuller for much longer, and less likely to binge between meals, which is a huge no no!
ย
Just one cup of Brown Rice has 5gs of protein and more than 3gs of Fibre.
ย
Eating Whole grain foods has loads of benefits to us too, such as lowering Cholesterol levels & Weight loss.
ย
Here are some other Whole grain foods I recommend you purchase
ย
Hard Cheese
Hard Cheeses such as Parmesan & Cheddar as a Salad topping makes it taste nicer and is Di nutritional.
ย
Hard Cheeses are widely available in blocks in Farm shops ย & Supermarkets..
ย
Letโs look at the example of Parmesan Cheese.
ย
Now this has 10 gs of protein and it also packs ย 30 to 35% of the Daily Value (AKA DV) for Calcium..
ย
which is an important nutrient for blood clotting, proper Muscle contraction & our bone health.
ย
Soft Cheese
Soft Cheeses such as Goat, Feta & Mozzarella are excellent choices for Salad toppings.
ย
The soft Cheeses provide a really soft texture compared to the hard ones,
also soft Cheeses provide Calcium & Protein…
ย
Goat and Feta Cheeses are made from Goat & Sheepโs Milk, thus are Lactose-free and great options for those who cannot drink Cowโs Milk.
ย
Once again soft Cheeses are widely available in Farm shops and Supermarkets. ย
ย
Tofu
Edamame AKA Tofu & Soybeans, are a great source of Plant Protein to add to our Salad.
ย
Just one cup of cooked Edamame has around 15 to 17 gs of Protein, whilst Tofu has 20 gs..
ย
Both foods are loaded with Folate, Vitamin K & Several other micronutrients.
ย
Eating these ย help prevent getting ย some Cancers and Heart disease.
ย
When out shopping for Soy foods make sure to look for Whole Soya beans & Tofu, which will not include too many additives.
ย
Lastly most Soy foods are modified unless it says on the packet โORGANICโ or โGMO-FREEโ.
ย
Seafood
Seafoods such as Shrimp, Halibut, Salmon, Sardines & Lobster are very healthy and great sources of Protein.
ย
They also contain Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamins & Minerals.
ย
The most Di Nutritious way to prepare seafood for Salads are Grilling & Baking.
ย
Of course Deep-fried is not so Di nutritional and is not to be done.
Nuts & Seeds
If you’re allergic then skip this one!
ย
Nuts & Seeds are also handy to add to your Salads..
ย
Pumpkin Seeds, Almonds, Peanuts (Real ones not K.P Nuts), Walnuts, Chia Seeds ectย are highly Di Nutritious on our Salad toppings.
ย
It gives us the much needed fibre which is missing in a lot of the worlds meals at Breakfast,Lunch,Snack & Dinner times.
ย
Like I said before, we’re not looking for nuts like K.P Nuts. Always look for raw or dry roasted without any added Salt or Sugar.
ย
THATโS IT!
ย
ย I really enjoyed sharing this with you guys. Please do let me know thoughโฆ
