This Metabolism Maximizing Salad takes less than 5 minutes to make and contains only 260 calories per serving. It’s my easy go-to on hectic days when I don’t have time to whip up a more elaborate meal. I also think it’s perfect on those hot summer days to cool down.

NUTRITION per serving (makes 1 serving)

That’s it! It’s really that simple! And the combination of the vitamin C in the strawberries and spinach, the omega-3s in the walnuts, the thermogenic properties of the jalapenos, and the monounsaturated fats in the olive oil will help to boost metabolism while burning up belly fat. It’s a win-win!
