If you know me, you know I love salads! Today’s lunch consisted of a super easy, super crunchy, yummy salad that I threw together in less than 5 minutes. It’s part of my don’t stress the small things and just relax and enjoy life and this pregnancy plan. I’ve found that I shouldn’t worry too much about making the perfect meal everyday. I have plenty of healthy ingredients in my pantry and fridge and even if I throw a bunch of different ingredients together, it’s bound to be yummy. Well, lets hope so!

I looked in my fridge and found

Pre-Washed and Pre-cut Kale

Romaine

and a purple cabbage that needed to be used ASAP.

I also keep an old popcorn tin full of different salad toppings, nuts and seeds. I grabbed salted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, which I roasted over medium heat on the stove for about 3 minutes and then sprinkled with a  little bit of Himalayan salt. I found a can of garbanzo beans in the pantry and decided to add that in for extra protein. The result? This beautiful colorful and delicious salad.
