Vitamin Rich Salad
When my body is craving greens and veggies, this is my go-to salad. It contains high quality grains, fats and vitamins. Quinoa contains a great deal of B12, is energizing for your body, and helps you stay full for longer. Spinach provides vitamins and protein, and avocado and olive oil are the healthy fats our bodies need. Topped off with some extra vegetables and cheese and it is a delicious combo. The lemon juice adds nice acidity which balances out the other components in the salad. If you are looking for a quick salad that is nourishing, satisfying and mostly raw, I would highly recommend this one.
