I have so many different variations that I make, I never get bored of these! Easy to throw together. And so pretty and colorful 🙂

Poke Salad (~330cal / 20G Protein):

  • 50g kale (chopped & massaged)
  • 85g shelled edamame
  • 80g brown rice or 1/2 serving brown rice noodles
  • 75g cucumber (I like the mini kind)
  • 75g shredded red cabbage and/or 75g shredded carrots
  • Top with vegan kimchi, avocado, and soy sauce. I also like to cut up a seaweed sheet on top too

Hawaiian Salad (~435cal / 20G Protein): 

  • 50g spinach
  • 45g soy curls 
  • 25g red onion
  • 75g bell pepper
  • 50g chopped pineapple 
  • 80g brown rice 
  • 10g macadamia nuts 
  • 20g avocado 
  • I use some low sugar teriyaki sauce to cook up the soy curls & red onion. And then drizzle some more on top as a dressing. The juice from the pineapple also works as a dressing. 

BBQ Salad (~350cal / 13G Protein):

  • 100g romaine 
  • 100g white beans or chickpeas (any kind)
    • Or 1 serving of high protein tofu cooked with a little bbq sauce if you want more protein/less carbs — will boost the total protein to 20G. 
  • 75g steamed broccoli 
  • 75g chopped cherry tomatoes 
  • 75g steamed sweet potato 
  • 30g avocado 
  • Top with a low sugar, minimal ingredient bbq sauce. The thinner the sauce, the better for dressing! You can also take a thick bbq sauce and thin it up with water and use as dressing. This may be weird to some people…a dijon honey mustard dressing would work well too.  

Winter Salad (~400Cal / 30G Protein):

  • 50g arugula (spritz of olive oil & salt on top)
  • 50g steamed sweet potato 
  • 50g chickpeas 
  • 85g brussel sprouts
  • 1/2 serving homemade seitan (for me that is 100cal/20g protein) 
  • 1/2 of an orange 
  • 10g sunflower seeds 
  • + squeeze more orange juice on top 

I'll stop at 4….might have to do a Pt. 2!
