Lunch: Chicken and Berry Arugula Salad

Fully loaded salad for a post-workout win

I had a big bowl of fiber last night. A lot of beets and brussels sprouts. Too much of anything is a bad thing and so I woke up with an aversion to fibrous vegetables. Instead my body craved something light.

I put together this salad for lunch: arugula, sautรฉed mushrooms, chicken, blueberries, raspberries, avocado, tofu, red onion, almonds and walnuts.

These ingredients still pack a fiber punch, but itโ€™s much milder than what a bowl of beets and brussels sprouts will do to your stomach. The nuts and arugula are more gut clearing than gut filling.

I finished the dish with 1 tbsp of olive oil, red wine vinegar, fig balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and a few pinches of sea salt.

I did an intense leg workout right before, so the little bit of fructose from the berries is enough to stem that sugar/carbohydrate craving my depleted body is feeling. Cheers.
