Energy Boosting Citrus Berry Salad

Sometimes you just need a little food pick-me-up. When you are feeling low energy, it's easy to want to eat chocolate or something with white sugar to get an immediate hit of energy.

I made this citrus, berry, and spinach salad with almonds and a light vinaigrette because I needed to feel energetic after a long day at work. I came home from work and Googled “energy-boosting foods” and the list I came up with that I could add to a salad included:

• Spinach
• Berries, specifically blueberries
• Citrus
• Almonds

Other Fabulous Fresh Salads

This fabulous, fresh salad not only tastes great, it really does boost your energy and mood. It’s hard not to feel great after you enjoy a bunch of berries and citrus. I’m a big fan of a fully-loaded salad, I’ve shared a bunch of them in the past and some of my favorites include:

• Spicy Thai Grapefruit Salad (vegan)
• The Best Fattoush Salad Recipe (vegetarian)
• The Detox Crunch Salad (vegan)

Tips for this citrus berry salad

• Make sure to really whisk the vinaigrette ingredients - it’s best when the olive oil and lemon juice are really combined.
• Substitute the berries if you have something else on hand (raspberries, blackberries, etc).
• If you can’t find clementines substitute for mandarine oranges.
• Pomegranate seeds can make for a great addition.
• If you can’t find triple-washed spinach at your grocery store, then really rinse the spinach well before adding it to this recipe - nothing is worse than gritty spinach.
• Toast the almonds if you’d like them to be a bit crunchier.
