salad topper ideas

5/24/2019

Salad doesn’t have to be boring or routine - there are no rules. Keep plenty of healthy foods on-hand and you can combine them in a wide variety of ways on a bed of greens. Here are some ideas to help switch up your typical salads:

• Beans - Canned black beans and chickpeas add protein and fiber and require no prep

• Dried Fruit - Go for varieties with no added sugars to add some healthy sweetness to your salad

• Salsa - Use salsa instead of salad dressing to add a low-calorie kick

• Cottage cheese - Add some creaminess as well as protein

• Seeds - Give sunflower seeds or hemp hearts a try and add protein as well as Omegas

• Eggs - Slice up a hard-boiled egg or two for some extra protein

• Leftovers - Use the taco meat from the other night and crush up some tortilla chips instead of croutons

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
