Slimming Salad in Under 5 Minutes!

August 27, 2015 by Erin Palinski-Wade Leave a Comment

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.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 ounces pre-cooked chicken breast 90 calories, 21 gm protein, 2 gm fat
  • 1 Cup fresh spinach
  • 1 Cup spring mix
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
  • 2 large strawberries, sliced
  • ¼ cup wild blueberries
  • 1 Tbs chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbs balsamic glaze 
  • DIRECTIONS
    Toss together greens, fruit, pepper, and walnuts
  • Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze
  • Serve chilled & enjoy!

NUTRITION per serving (makes 1 serving)

260 calories, 23 grams protein, 13 grams carbs, 5 grams fiber, 12 grams fat

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!
