A De-Bloating Salad to Add to Your Summer Rotation

You know that we love de-bloat aids. And with summer right around the corner … we wanted to give you a new salad recipe for your poosh seasonal menu. With the help of Nikki Baumel of My Sweet Belly, we’re sharing a simple and delicious mix to incorporate into your summer salad rotation.

“One way to avoid bloat is to increase the carbohydrate intake in the salad. By adding a grain such as brown rice, quinoa, or sweet potatoes to salad, the carbohydrate-to-fiber ratio becomes more balanced, thus eliminating the bloat,” Nikki shares.

This simple recipe can help boost your confidence by changing the way you feel both on the inside and outside, as it’s a great way to fight bloat and shed weight in a healthy way. Read on for the full step-by-step instructions below.
