She put her husband on protein salads, with him decreased to her student parameters.

A friend once asked me a provocative question: “If you could only eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be?” And she said she chose the salad because it could be made from anything. Genius, isn't it? The New Year is approaching, but no one wants to not get into their favorite pants after a delicious feast. I recommend cooking a protein salad for your beloved, and do not deny yourself anything.



Protein salad is the kind of food you can eat at any meal. But it's not the kind of salad we lavish with fatty mayonnaise. No, competently selected ingredients not only saturate and bring pleasure, but also help to achieve a sharpened figure. It is protein that is the building material for our muscles and saturates the stomach.

The body spends more effort to digest protein food. I want to share a selection of salads from my friend who has introduced protein salads into her daily diet and is now sewing her clothes. As protein ingredients can be used: boiled eggs, tuna, chicken breast. For fast salads, you can use any canned vegetables: beans, corn, peas, chickpeas. And lots of seasonal vegetables.
