One of my “go-to” salad is this spinach avocado tomato salad. It’s easy and delicious.
Recipe:
Spinach leaves
Half an avocado, diced
Half a tomato, diced
Dash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Viola simple, easy and nutritious! And the best part – there’s no wrong way to make a salad. Add in more of what you like and take out what you don’t.

Headed out for dinner? Here are some tips that can help you stay on track with you fitness lifestyle goals!
One tip I use when dining out is to order half my meal. Just ask the server to box up half for you before you get it.
You’ll be surprised how much food half is, and you trick your brain because when you clean your plate you won’t feel terrible afterwards!
Another tip I use is to always get the side of vegetables! Fries have zero nutritional value, just don’t get them -you’ll be OK I promise!
You know you can order those veggies dry? They won’t be raw but they won’t use a half a stick of butter when sauteing them.
This is half of my dinner from the other night
I got a chicken caprese sandwich with a side of zucchini and squash. That doesn’t look like half a meal does it? Portion sizes are outrageously large in restaurants and often times our eyes are way bigger than our stomach! Go to the restaurant with the mindset to order half and you’ll get to enjoy your meal without the guilt! PLUS you get leftovers!
