Chalene Johnson's Berry and Nut Salad

This recipe comes from Chalene Johnson's new book "PUSH".  I have been reading it over the past few days and so far I am smitten with her ideas, recipes, and goal setting challenges.  I highly recommend it!  This makes a very large salad around 350-400 calories.

2 cups of spring mix

1 cup spinach

1/2 cup raspberries

1/2 cup blackberries

1 cut up fuji apple

some chopped up raw almonds

a sprinkling of feta or blue cheese (optional)

a drizzle of Newman's Own Light Balsamic Dressing (my favorite for spinach salads!)

Kashi Black Bean Mango Salad

Looking for a fast and healthy lunch idea? My husband discovered that putting the Kashi Black Bean Mango frozen entree onto a bed of romaine lettuce makes a great salad! Or it makes a fantastic salsa/dip for chips. Each entree is 340 calories so if you add lettuce you are only around 350 calories for a whole grain/veggie/vegan meal!
