Creative Summer Salads

Health, Nutrition, Nutrition with Danielle, Power Up Approved, Power Up Program / Deanna Simone

In the summer months it’s nice to lighten up meals with a salad. I love both leafy green salads as well as hearty grain and vegetable salads. If I’m making a meal of a salad I like to add a grain, nuts and seeds, cheese, or a vegetable such as sweet potato. If it’s a side dish I’ll keep it light with lots of leafy greens, fresh herbs and maybe a fruit such as strawberries. There’s actually quite a bit in season right now which would make for some creative summer salads.

Let’s talk about snacks. I’ve got a hungry little lady on my hands at home now and I try as much as possible to stay away from packaged snacks. Having said that, I always have a bag of Love Child Ducks in my diaper bag for when we’re on the go and I haven’t packed anything.

Pea and Pancetta Salad and Strawberry Mini Cheesecakes for Father’s Day

Appetizer & Snack Recipes, Danielle, Dessert & Misc Recipes, Nutrition, Nutrition with Danielle, Power Up Approved, Power Up Program, PowerUp, Soup & Salad Recipes / Deanna Simone

Father’s Day is coming up and in my family we like to celebrate with an afternoon by the pool and a delicious meal. Typically we do a grilled meat and then a couple outdoor friendly sides. Grain and vegetable salads are always great because they can handle dressing well even when dressed in advance. Potato salad is usually our go-to but this year we are going to switch it up with a pea and pancetta salad. The fresh mint in this salad is the selling feature for me. It’s refreshing and so complimentary to the salty pancetta.

Barley and Asparagus Salad Recipe

Danielle, Food, General, Nutrition with Danielle, Power Up Approved, Power Up Program, PowerUp / Deanna Simone

I love that we are entering into the season of plenty with local fruits and vegetables! Asparagus is one of my favourite vegetables. It’s versatile and particularly nutritious at this time of year. Asparagus has a unique mineral profile that makes it an effective natural diuretic, which promotes detoxification and cleansing. It also contains an abundance of folate, which is great for expecting mommas.

Healthier Snacks to Inspire Your Summer

Entertainment, Food, Power Up Approved, Snacks, Vince's Own / Deanna Simone

Whether you’re camping, at the cottage, or just kicking back on your deck with a few cold beverages, it’s hard not to snack. I’m usually diligent about what I put into my body, but when there’s a bag of chips within reach – I indulge!

There’s an answer to this dilemma, and it’s not abstinence, nor does it involve bowls of raw kale. It’s about choosing healthier snacks.
