From Rashida: I feel so healthy and energized when I eat this salad. It’s one of my “alone meals” . . . you know the ones you eat by yourself. I like having it for lunch, since that is when I am most often not sharing with my family. I just make my little girls a sprouted-bread sandwich or some yogurt and fruit, then put them down for their nap. While they’re down, I am finally able to get the most stuff done that needs doing so I can’t spend a lot of time preparing lunch. I whip this up, fast as a nap, take a little downtime to relax and enjoy it, and then get back to all that has to get done with renewed energy! Perhaps stretch yourself and try a change-up from constant S and E Meals by having this as written. As written, it’s a very slimming FP. To fill up further, you can have a Creamy Piña Colada (page 45 of THF) or some THM Chocolate Milk—just mix unsweetened almond milk with the Optimized Chocolate Whey Protein Powder. If you’d rather have this salad as an E, that’s fine too. All you’ll need to do is add another ¼–⅓ cup of black beans. To make it as an S, simply add ½ avocado or ¼ cup sharp cheddar cheese.
