Welcome to sushi salad. We just took sushi to the next level, and salad for that matter, with this awesome combination that is an explosion of deliciousness. This salad contains all the benefits of a good sushi bar: the combination of complex carbs, complete proteins and a healthy dose of vitamin B12 helps maintain normal metabolism and regulate energy levels, along with bunches of other essential vitamins and nutrients.
Remember in the 90’s where having a “Ch-ch-ch-Chia Pet” was all the rage? Well, now we think you should take those seeds and instead of planting them, eat them.
Chia seeds are a known superfood and have all kinds of health benefits like being a great source of omega-3’s, improving digestive health, stabilizing your glycemic index, and being chock-full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They also have a unique property where after soaking in a liquid, they swell up which is what gives this healthy recipe a pudding-like texture! Shake this up and put in your fridge tonight, and enjoy tomorrow morning for breakfast!

Along with fiber, lentils also offer a generous helping of folate and magnesium – all nutrients that promote heart health. Whether you serve this dish as a main course or as a complement, you’re guaranteed to be all nourished up.
Today, we asparagus! Asparagus is not only low in calories, but it’s also high in folic acid, vitamins A, B6 and C, calcium, iron, thiamin, potassium and fiber, as well as the antioxidant glutathione. We’re really not seeing any negatives here.
Today, we want to add a little Taco Tuesday to our Tasty Tuesday. Get your taco fix in a fresh and easy way that wont break the bank. Add lime and sunny Mexican beach to taste. Lean fish like Halibut is a great way to get in some protein while still being healthy. We recommend making your own avocado salsa with organic avocados and tomatoes to help keep it fresh!
