Nov 21 Quinoa, squash and halloumi salad

A perfect warm salad for when it gets colder and you need some warmth. The addition of pomegranate seeds also makes it more wintery in my eyes. Squash contains beta-carotenes which our body converts to vitamin A to help support our immune system.

May 30 Broccoli, quinoa and almond salad

Recipes, Soups and salads

This is a protein packed and liver-loving salad. The liver support is from the kale and broccoli which are members of the cruciferous family of vegetables. The protein comes from the quinoa, edamame beans, almonds and almond butter in the dressing. A fantastic post-workout salad to keep you satisfied.

We love the lebanese salad tabbouleh and here we have paired it with quinoa and halloumi to ensure more protein. The added protein will help to keep you fuller for longer and keep those blood sugars stable.

Recipes, Mains

At the Health Boost we are not vegetarian but we encourage everyone to increase the consumption of mostly plant based meals a couple of days a week if possible. With some pulses providing some good quality protein such as the quinoa and chickpeas in this salad and the added halloumi we make sure to provide a balance of all macro nutrients. We also get asked often what to do with aubergines as they are a good source of fibre, vitamins and minerals and low in calories for those counting.

We love salads at The Health Boost and nearly every day will have one for lunch and in the summer for supper too. However there's no limp lettuce and starving ourselves with our salads. The key to a good salad is to get the right balance of protein, healthy fats and some slow release healthy carbohydrates so that you aren't hungry again by 3pm. We include lots and lots of vegetables in our salads as we love them and recognise their health benefits. We hope this selection of salads will provide you with some inspiration. We change our salads weekly, depending on what's seasonal and what delights our vegetable box brings. Have fun experimenting with your salads!

Jan 11 5 nutritious winter warming salads

Kat Bright

Blog, Soups and salads

A salad is normally associated with spring and summer, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We enjoy a salad all year round - it’s a great way to pack in your vegetables at lunch. However, the key to a winter salad is to incorporate some warm elements. This could be some warm roasted vegetables, just cooked lentils or quinoa or some heat with a spice such as harissa.

This is a lovely hearty salad with lots of protein so great if you need to refuel after a bout of exercise. Quinoa is a great vegetarian protein source as it contains all the amino acids needed by the body.

I love a salad. In the spring and summer I make sure I have one at least one a day and in the winter I just warm up a few of the ingredients to make a warm salad. To stop myself getting bored I am always changing the ingredients. My salads are never boring with just lettuce and cucumber - I make sure I pack them with lots of delicious vegetables. They are always colourful and contain at least four different vegetables or herbs.
