I love salads and if it was only up to me I’d probably eat different kind of salads for lunch and dinner every day. It’s the perfect way to get your daily dose of greens in, and it also leaves more room for dessert (double yay)! I always eat my salads with toasted or freshly baked bread, and I usually skip dressings since I simply don’t like them. I also really like adding fruit or berries to my salads for added freshness.

I don’t really know why I decided to post just this particular salad made this weekend. It’s so simple and nothing special really, but sometimes simplicity is the key. I also know I’m not the only one suffering from anxiety about what to cook for dinner every day, so I thought maybe a quick and simple salad can save someones night ;).

All you need is different kinds of green lettuce (preferably dark green for added vitamins and health benefits), avocado and feta cheese crumbled and mixed in by hand to make it creamy, tomato, cucumber, green olives, strawberries and grilled halloumi cheese. And of course olive oil, pepper and some lemon can be added if you like your salad extra juicy :).

Hope you like it!

I feel like I’ve been more tired than usual lately. I think it might have something to do with finally being able to let myself relax. For the past year and a few months I’ve been waking up more than 10-15 times each night. I didn’t sleep more than 4-5 hours per night, so now when I finally get more sleep I feel like I allow myself to be tired more.

I’ve begin to focus more on my health again and most importantly I need all the energy I can get. I never skip my vitamins, I spend loads of time outdoors and I try to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Here is my favorite green smoothie I usually make before lunch after some play time in the park. I don’t use any “super foods”, I just try to keep it clean and simple. It tastes quite sour but that’s how I like it. If you prefer it sweet add a small banana.
