If you opt for the side salad try using a spring mix, spinach, or kale for a more nutrient dense and flavorful salad. If you prefer a sweeter salad add fresh blueberries, oranges, or strawberries. For a basic dressing combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and fruit juice then drizzle or spray it on your fresh greens.
If you like the size and texture of chips try cucumber and squash sliced as chips. Sprinkle with parmesan, sea salt, or Mrs. Dash for added flavor. If you just need an added crunch add a handful if baby carrots or sliced apples.
My favorite lunch boost is to mix in a handful of vegg into my lunch portion of pasta or rice. Broccoli is a great way to boost a rice dish, adding volume if you are low carbing it. Spinach and squash mix in seemlessly with a fresh tomato sauce.
