Ingredients in this superfood salad

Ingredient notes

I recommend using organic produce whenever possible

• Greens- A combination of kale, spinach and butter lettuce used in this salad.

• Broccoli- This is a superfood since it's low in calories and packed with vitamins & minerals.

• Blueberries- Not only are these packed with antioxidants but they're also high in vitamin C and potassium.

• Green onions- They are one of the most affordable superfoods and great to add to salads.

• Pumpkin seeds- A great source of protein, zinc and magnesium.

• Cucumbers- Low in calories and high in water content. Great for hydration and pack plenty of nutrients.
