MIX N MATCH SALAD

NOTE: THIS ISN'T A FOOD BLOG! But I really fucking love food, so there will be alot of food-like things here.

The best thing about green leafy veggies is that you can eat as much of them as you want and weight gain is basically impossible so you don't have to go shopping for new pants (if you're anything like me, & loath shopping then this is a plus).
Be careful though & get some carbs in there (more depending on the intensity & quantity of training you're doing) heaps of proteins, fruit or whatever else in there because losing weight means buying new pants too.
So anyway, MIX N MATCH YAY:


LAYER 1) GREEN BASE YES

• Leave (mixed dark green lettuce! Kale, Spinach, etc)I guess you can skip this step BUT WHY WOULD YOU BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST ONE

LAYER 2) VEG 

• Roast veggies (chuck sliced eggplant, mushrooms, zucchini, pumpkin, red pepper, etc. into the toasted sandwich maker)
• Leftovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Thinly slice cucumber with a veggie peeler (cover with a little sesame oil + soy sauce for asian salad)
• Fresh celery &/or green bean, corn, tomato
• Lightly steamed broccoli/cauliflower
• Grated carrot/beetroot
• Avocado

LAYER 3) PROTEIN

• Canned (canneloni, black, kidney, etc) beans: Drain, toss in lemon juice, season.
• Bean/snowpea sprouts
• Seeds (Brazil, almonds, pecans, NOT APPLE SEEDS!)
• Legumes: Lentils, peanuts, chickpeas... uhhhhh yes.
• Hard boiled egg?  Fish?  Cheese?  

LAYER 4) HERBZ + FLAVA

Also, my sister (a rebel without a cause) just asked me "what if someone doesn't feel like following the rules?"

ANSWER: I am not a dictator & actually don't care what you put in your salad.  Make it however you like.
