Good nutrition starts with veggies. Everybody knows it...so much that when hearing this advice it literally goes in one ear and out the next. What I learned from Dr. Lisle who wrote The Pleasure Trap is that you have to train your tastebuds to like veggies. You literally start to crave vegetables if you train yourself over time. Just like you crave chocolate if you train yourself to like chocolate! If you don't eat veggies much and you start with a basic salad as your training ground...well...you're likely to not come back for more. If you need to train your tastebuds again, start with Braised Kale in Coconut milk. It will load you up with nutrients and also introduce you to veggies in a way that will open your mind. I personally make many different sauces and dressings to keep my tastebuds happy.

the first bite was a little different, but the second and third really became delicious. I served this over a 1/2 cup bed of brown rice and it worked well together. Served with Wild Caught Salmon would pretty much give you a super nutritious meal balanced in micro-macronutrients and balanced in fat, carbs, and protein.
