Immortal Greens Mix

I'm Jayne Smythe. I coach and train with SalesBEAST, and on Tuesday nights you'll find me in the back row of a Florida yoga class, holding warrior two and pretending my thighs are perfectly fine. Afterward I want something fresh that doesn't require standing over a stove, and this bowl is it. It was born on a night when my fridge held kale, half an avocado, and a lot of good intentions.

Lunch is where most sales afternoons are won or lost. Eat something heavy and the 3pm slump shows up right on schedule, usually in the middle of a discovery call. Most people treat salads like punishment, and I understand why: a sad pile of iceberg lettuce is nobody's idea of a reward.

The original post called this one "not a diet salad, it's a shield," and I'm keeping that line. A bowl like this is light enough that you stay sharp for your afternoon calls and substantial enough that you aren't raiding the break room at 2:45. Make the full recipe, save the second serving for tomorrow, and keep the dressing separate so the greens stay crisp.

And if you tell me you don't have time to make a salad, I'll raise an eyebrow and point out that this one is three steps long, and one of them is "toss." Rinse the greens on Sunday, keep them in a container lined with a paper towel, and lunch on Monday and Tuesday becomes a two minute job. You were going to scroll for two minutes anyway.

Ingredients

Makes 2 servings.

• 3 cups kale (chopped)

• 1 cup arugula

• 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage

• 1/2 avocado, diced

• 1/4 cup walnuts

• 1/4 cup blueberries

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• Juice of 1/2 lemon

• Salt + pepper to taste

Directions

1. Toss kale, arugula, and cabbage in a large bowl.

2. Add avocado, walnuts, and blueberries.

3. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Why This Fuels a Beast

• Kale and arugula: Leafy greens bring vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K and folate, so the base of this bowl is doing real work, not just taking up space.

• Avocado and walnuts: Healthy fats that make the salad satisfying, which helps it carry you through the afternoon instead of leaving you hungry an hour later.

• Blueberries: Berries bring vitamin C and fiber, plus a little sweetness, so you're less tempted by the candy jar during pipeline review.

• Olive oil and lemon: A simple dressing with a healthy fat and bright flavor. No bottle of mystery dressing required, and it takes thirty seconds.

Richard looked at this bowl and asked where the rest of the meal was. He then finished both servings, so I'm counting that as a five star review.
