“I’ve been enjoying salads for lunch as the weather warms up. They are great because they keep me full, don’t use up too many calories, and they are full of vitamins and fiber. The key for me is creating an ingredient list that I love and will look forward to for 4-5 days. Lately, I’ve been alternating between sweet and savory variations.”

PREPPING THE SALADS

Prepping Coach Lynndsey’s pizza salads is quick and simple! Start by evenly weighing each ingredient and dividing them into meal-sized portions. Layer the mixed greens, deli chicken, sautéed mushrooms, red peppers, shredded carrots, black olives, turkey pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese into individual Tupperware containers. Keep the Bolthouse Farms blue cheese dressing separate to add just before eating. Store your prepped salads in the fridge for a fresh, flavorful, and ready-to-go meal anytime!

TIP: Remember to measure your dressing before adding it, to avoid miscalculating your macros!
