Fight Fit Friday - Superfood Salad Recipe | Health and Lifestyle

Friday, July 03, 2015

This week as seen me do light exercise like walking the dogs, squats and a few light sit ups. This will be the last week that my main focus will be on food only and exercise will be increased.

Here are the meals I have been enjoying this week on a typical day

Breakfast - Granola with greek yogurt, bananas, blueberries and a drizzle of honey.

I have also been eating egg and spinach omelette and overnight oats.

Lunch - Rice with feta, spinach and a mix of seeds for crunch.

I have also had this week a beef with apple salad and a chicken wrap.

Evening meals have been the most adventurous I love my superfood salad (recipe below).

I have also made steak with sweet potato and mixed seed rostis and pork loin and sweet potato in a homemade peanut sauce with rice (amazing fakeaway)

If I have needed a snack I have had an apple or rice cake with peanut butter or Hummus

Superfood Salad Recipe

1 cup of Quinoa

1 cup of lentils

1 cup of chic peas

4 Slices lean bacon

1 finely chopped pepper

1 diced red onion

quarter of a cucumber finely diced

handful of roughly chopped spinach

4 chopped dates

pomegranate seeds from half a fruit

juice from 1 lemon

Cook lentils, chickpeas and quinoa to pack instructions and mix together in a large bowl.

Add all the chopped fruit and salad and squeeze over the lemon and mix.

This does me 4 meals and is perfect for popping into tubs for work lunches.

You can add any other salad items you want I have used beetroot, carrot and tomatoes in the past and all work well. Also it is nice with a diced red chilli for a little kick.

Also if you are vegetarian or vegan the bacon can be left out.

Hope this has given you some inspiration

All of your meals look lovely! I always struggle for inspiration with healthy lunches - the rice with feta sounds great. xxx
