Healthy Living :: SuperFoods salad

Hi lovelies! I have been tossing up for a while now whether I should start introducing some healthy recipe and salad ideas onto the blog as I'm naturally interested in this and always love to discover healthy recipe suggestions. 

This became really prevalent for me whilst I was overseas - I found it extremely challenging in some places to find a salad or a healthy food option. On several occasions I ended up going to McDonalds and buying a salad + fruit simply because there were no other choices! For me, eating healthily isn't about dieting or losing weight, I just genuinely feel really good when I fuel myself the right kinds of foods, and as a bonus I know that my body appreciates it :)

So that's my spiel; I really hope you will enjoy more of this kind of content on the blog - I'd love to know what you think!

Moving on.... I was actually inspired to create this salad after visiting the coolest fast food restaurant in London called Leon, whose mission is to change the face of fast food by offering meals that are full natural ingredients + produce, with a focus on nutrition {they have a pretty cool site too, check it out here}

{SuperFoods Salad}

+ 1 cup of cooked quinoa

Bon appétit!
