A salad with lots of vegetables is healthy, but if you choose the wrong ingredients, it can still become a calorie bomb. These 5 ingredients ensure a healthy salad.
1. Avocado For a creamy and soft texture, you can add avocado to your salad. An avocado is full of healthy fats and the fiber ensures that you are full for longer. Avocados are not low in calories. Add a quarter of an avocado for 80 extra calories and 3.4 grams of fiber.
2. Blueberries
Blueberries are super healthy, contain few calories and can satisfy your craving for sweets.
3. Almonds
For some crunch in your salad.
4. Boiled egg
This will provide a protein boost and will give you renewed energy.
5. Cottage cheese
Do you love cheese? Use Hüttenkäse, which contains half the calories than, for example, feta.
Tip:pay attention to the dressing you choose The dressing can also make your salad a lot unhealthier. If you are using ready-made dressing, check the ingredients list. It is best to make your own dressing, for example based on Greek yogurt.
