Power lunch

Tips: I often hear fitness nutritionalists advising that you should always consume protein with carbs (to modulate the effect on blood sugar especially in insulin sensitive individuals).

On the program Body Fuel episode 107 Dr. John Berardi advises in order to get the muscle building benefits of protein while avoiding the risk of being too acidic consume protein with at least two servings of fruit or vegetables.

Recipe for a five minute power lunch (my version of spinach salad)
1-2 cups spinach steamed
1 medium tomato thinly sliced.
2 slices avocado
1 whole hard boiled egg sliced
3 hard boiled egg whites chopped or sliced
1 tbsp chopped walnuts
1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Spread spinach over plate
Top with sliced tomatoes and avocado
Top with egg
Sprinkle walnut
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar

You can leave the spinach raw if you prefer!
