I love spring and all the fresh produce that comes with it. I think that strawberries technically are a summer season fruit, but I’ve been seeing them at the grocery store, so I will take it! This salad has been my “go-to” on my SAHM days. It’s SO fast and easy to throw together; without sacrificing being refreshing and good for you.
I don’t always have as much energy as I want and I don’t know if I’ve ever needed so much energy as when I’m doing the SAHM thing. It’s common knowledge that your energy levels are directly correlated to your diet. This tid-bit of knowledge provides a game changing mom-hack. When I switched my diet out to clean eating, the biggest improvement was my energy levels! I can run around and play with my daughter like I couldn’t before! I’m not insisting that everyone eat clean, but I want to share the benefits I saw, because they made a positive difference in my family! When I changed my diet, what was more exciting then any weight loss, was the energy and how it balanced my moods. I’m not perfect at clean eating (balance in everything), but I notice the benefits when I’m more consistent with it. Plus, my daughter usually likes having some strawberries, goat cheese and almond slivers when I make this, so it works for both of us! Happy Spring!

Yum! I need to remember how much I love fruit on salads! I’m always excited to see salads at restaurants that have fruit on it but for some reason never think of it for the salads I make at home!
Lauren says
I totally understand! There are a lot of things at restaurants that I think I could make at home, but it doesn’t really occur to me to actually make it, haha. Thanks for stopping by Katie!

This salad looks super yummy and healthy! I love it. I make a variation of it with candied pecans, instead of almonds, which is not so healthy, lol. I will have to try this way.
Lauren says
Candied pecans sound delicious!
