Simple Massaged Kale Salad – Simple Cooking Recipe!

July 26, 2016 by admin

Yesterday I got an email that simply read “Hey, I was wondering what you eat for dinner when you’re not posting?” It made me realize that I rarely shine light on what I eat on a “normal” day.

So the short answer: I eat really simply. I  use whatever ingredients I have in my apartment. That being said, I also tend to have the SAME ingredients on hand, which lends to a similar menu. While some people need lots of daily variety, I truly am a creature of habit, and find myself craving the same foods. I usually eat some version of a massaged kale salad most nights. I find that my body craves greens, healthy fats and proteins by the end of the day, and this simple salad provides my body with all of those!

Although I highlight lots of vegan recipes on my blog, I do enjoy a piece of fish from time to time. When my body is craving protein, I give it just that. For me, wild caught organic salmon is the perfect protein source. That being said, I believe that everyone’s body is different. That may mean that meat, eggs, or vegan sources of protein are best for you! I think it’s important to listen to your body, and nourish it with the best quality foods possible.

The best way to ensure that you’re eating healthy is being prepared. I always tell clients to cook once, and eat twice (or three times)! I make about two or three servings of salmon, and store it in the fridge so that I can reheat it for a quick dinner.  I also make a big batch of quinoa at the beginning of the week to ensure that I always have my favorite grain ready to go!

So enough about me, here is a SIMPLE and SUPER quick “normal” meal that will leave you satisfied, energized and feeling healthy and happy!
