One of my fave foods has always been salads. When I was a kid my mum would make yummy salad rolls for our lunches. I think the main reason I love salads so much is the fact that they are just so versitile. You can make it with anything from lettuce, tomato, roast capsicum, onions, avacados, zuchinni, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, spinach, beetroot - really ANYTHING! Im a big believer in eating the colours of the rainbow and I will toss a whole heap of colourful vegies and salads things together and make yummy new creations. And then you can add whatever kind of meat or veg protein you like. We add thai marinated lean steak, grilled chicken breast, salmon, tuna and tofu. My boyfriend loves adding salad dressing but I tend to steer clear of them and opt for extra virgin olive oil to increase my good fats intake.
Other colours of the rainbow foods we eat loads of is blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. We seriously eat LOADS of them. And im especially proud that my 4 year old loves healthy foods too :)
I have learnt that eating healthily does NOT have to be boring :) Mix it up!
