We love this salad because it's nutrient-rich, filling and super simple. Get ready for a breakdown of each ingredient and then add them to your grocery list!
Spinach
A good source of fiber, protein and iron, the bed of baby spinach is the perfect low-calorie nutrition boost for any salad.
Lima beans
The fiber and protein benefits of this salad don't end with the spinach! Not only does the fiber in lima beans help lower cholesterol, but it also helps to stabilize your blood sugar, making sure your energy levels are even and you don't run into some crazy cravings later on.
Grapefruit
While it's true that grapefruit is high in vitamin C, we love this low-calorie fruit for its cancer-fighting antioxidant properties.
Asparagus
Not only is asparagus low calorie (a cup will only set you back 32 calories), but it's also high in fiber, which means you'll feel fuller in between meals. Plus, it helps to increase your gut health and decrease belly bloat and gas.
Cucumber
Super low-calorie and refreshing, cucumbers contain tons of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits which can help to reduce your risk for many chronic illnesses like arthritis, heart disease and even cancer.
Avocado
Full of healthy fats, avocados help to stabilize your energy levels and absorb nutrients. Plus, they're low in carbs, high in fiber and super heart healthy.
