[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The easiest way to get in greens for me is at least one meal (lunch or dinner) needs to be a greens based bowl. I usually add two different greens for taste and texture (arugula, baby spring mix, baby kale are my go-tos) and sometimes a lighter salad green as well (romaine or butter crunch) or even something like red cabbage shreds. The big this is to season this. Olive oil, garlic salt, Aleppo pepper are my usuals.

Then I just add to the greens. Go around the bowl and add small servings of a whole grain or complex carb (couscous, farro, brown/wild rice, barley, roasted sweet potatoes), or beans or lentils, lean protein if you’re having meat that meal, and then as many other chopped vegetables as you have on hand. Bell peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, shaved Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, red onion, sautéed mushrooms with fennel are all things I commonly have. Any leftover roasted vegetables from dinner the night before can work as well.

Healthy fat for the topping - I add a sprinkle of hemp hearts or sprouted pumpkin seeds, a handful of broccoli or alfalfa sprouts, and a drizzle of olive oil. This one meal is filling with tons of fiber and healthy nutrients. [/quote]
That all sounds great, but what if you are not a lover of salads other than tomato with salt and oil? What if you like traditional meals for your lunch and dinner?[/quote]
