After having a baby, my beauty philosophy shifted to a more all encompassing view of beauty. Wholesome organic food, skin care, and a good night’s rest is just as important to a woman’s beauty routine as cosmetics and clothes.

Healthy postpartum weight loss can be challenge for many new moms. I found it best to focus on health, rather than weight loss. Delicious salads, kombucha, walks outdoors, and loose forgiving fashion helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight over the course of a year.

This salad was a staple recipe in our house last summer. The ingredients can be stocked, and the salad can be tossed together in less than 10 minutes. I have rediscovered it now that the hot temperatures have returned. I am craving lighter foods and citrus. This salad is full of protein and vitamin C.

 

Ingredients

1 Bag of Pre-Washed Mixed Greens

Sushi Grade Ahi Tuna or Smoked Salmon (Shown with steamed Albacore)

1 Can Chick Peas Drained

1 Can Mixed Citrus Fruit (Grapefruit and Mandarin Oranges)

1 Avocado Sliced into Small Pieces

Parmesan Cheese to Taste

Directions

Toss all the ingredients together in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with your favorite salad dressing. I recommend Poppy Seed or Wasabi Vinaigrette.
