My Plate: Cobb Salad
Happy JULY, friends!
You know how it goes, I snap a picture of one of my plates and break down the details for you here.
Always simple, delicious and healthy!
Let’s break it down!
Start with any lettuce or greens you love. I chose butter lettuce this night. Best texture!
I roasted a bunch of veggies: asparagus, mushrooms, and peppers. You could even grill them with your protein!
For my protein, we did turkey bacon, salmon (always marinated with lemon juice, coconut aminos, garlic powder), and hard boiled eggs. Lot’s of protein to stay dinner and done (find other fun - like jumping on the tramp with my kids, or going on a post dinner walk with Scott, my fave!).
For my accessories I chose pumpkin seeds, added some fresh tomato, avocado would have been great, and just squeezed lemon juice as my dressing.
That’s it! With the nutrition plan I follow, I aim for my dinner plate to be 75% veggies and 25% protein. This salad covers all my veggies (full of fiber and so many nutrients), protein to feel full and satisfied, and I kept my accessories pretty light this dinner. All the things my body needs and craves! Healthy doesn’t have to feel complicated, I keep it SO simple, sustainable, and sensible.
To make this family friendly, I would just incorporate fresh fruit, jasmine rice, potatoes or brown rice pasta as a side.
From my plate to yours, I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you try it! xx
