Clean eating starts with eating leafy greens, fruits and vegetables. What better way to do it than from a list of 20 Best Green Salad Recipes that are healthy and easy to add to any diet!
Five times out of ten I find myself struggling to figure out what to make for a healthy dinner. Unless I have an organized meal plan to make life a bit more efficient. To avoid unhealthy eating habits I keep a calendar for each week listing our meals and groceries needed for the week. I also make sure our refrigerator is stocked with lots of vegetables and leafy greens for healthy snacking and quick meals. This way if the day is chaotic or if I am just too tired to cook what is on the meal plan I can always rely that I have a go-to meal of veggies and beans for a salad bar or taco salad for dinner.
It is so much easier to make one meal based on the entire family as a whole instead of separate meals for the kids. We are what we eat and I don't want my kid turning into a processed chicken nugget (though they do get those occasionally). If kids don't appreciate the salads as a whole, then let them pick out what they like. That way they will feel a bit in control over “choosing” what they like and there is less of a battle. For example, my oldest picks apart my Healthy Pomegranate Salad. He doesn't really like the lettuce so he picks out the mandarins or tangerines, cucumbers, mint, cheese and pomegranates to eat. Which means he is still eating 50% of fruits and vegetables for dinner!
