So many of my clients come to me saying that they don’t enjoy salads because they always leave them feeling unsatisfied and still hungry. If that resonates with you, then you are doing salads all wrong! Satiating salads contain protein, fiber, healthy fat, and whole grains. If you are simply eating a bowl of greens, that is not going to do it for you. Take this Summer Millet Salad, for example. It contains whole grains in the form of millet, chickpeas for protein, pine nuts for healthy fat, and fiber from the artichokes. I promise if you use this formula, you’re going to get a whole lot more out of your salads!
