No Cook PFF Salad
Salads can either be boring or absolutely delicious. They can also be time consuming to make or you can make a no cook salad in minutes. Salad greens are healthy in and of themselves, but a person can get so much more by jazzing it up with additional healthy options! First of all, you may be asking what is PFF?
Protein, Fat, Fiber (PFF)
In my practice, nearly everything I discuss will come back to following the PFF method. It is a simple framework for building meals and snacks to promote blood sugar balance, the fundamental process involved in weight management and metabolism overall.
The No Cook PFF Salad Breakdown
- Protein: 47 grams
- Fat: 32 grams
- Fiber 10 grams
I challenge many of my clients to aim for getting at least 30 grams of protein, 15-30 grams of fat, and 10 grams of fiber at each meal while limiting their carbohydrate intake between 25-40 grams. And guess what? It takes 5 minutes or less to throw together in a bowl. No cooking required!
