A question I've been sitting with this week, and I wanted to ask you. What's the minimum you do for yourself? Not your ideal day and not the version of eating well that happens when everything goes right, but your floor, the minimum, what you will actually eat no matter what, even on the hard days and exhausting weeks and the times when the wheels are fully off. Because here's what I've noticed working with women on this for years: the ones who stay consistent aren't the ones with the most impressive healthy days, they're the ones who've decided what their floor is and never go below it. One whole foods meal counts, one green food counts, anything intentional counts. What's yours? Drop it below, even if it feels small, especially if it feels small. 👇

I've been doing this consistently for the past month now and honestly it's been such a game changer for me, which is why I wanted to share it with you this week. And I know what you might be thinking, because I already do smoothies, I already have vegetables in all different forms throughout my day, so why does starting with a salad feel any different? But there's something about beginning a meal with greens that just sets the whole tone in a way I wasn't expecting. It's such a simple, grounding way to start eating, and it's something I'm absolutely continuing. Here's why this one small habit is worth making non-negotiable: - It blunts your blood sugar response. When you eat fiber before carbohydrates, it forms a kind of physical barrier in your digestive tract that slows glucose absorption. Same meal, completely different blood sugar curve, and that's real physiology, not wellness fluff. 📉 - It keeps you more satiated. Fiber is incredibly filling, and even though a small salad is low in calories, you're getting more volume, more fiber, and more nutrients before you even touch the rest of your meal. I'm always going to choose eating more for less, and this is one of the easiest ways to do that. - You eat more mindfully. Starting with greens gives your hunger hormones a chance to catch up before you dive into the denser parts of your meal, and a lot of women find they naturally eat less of everything else without even trying. - You actually hit your fiber for the day. Most of us aren't getting anywhere close to enough, and a small salad before dinner is an easy, painless way to close that gap without overhauling anything. - You get more plant points in before you even think about it. Even a simple mix of romaine, cucumber, and a handful of cherry tomatoes is already three plants, and if you drizzle with olive oil and lemon and throw on some pumpkin seeds, you're up to five before your fork touches anything else. 🌱 - It slows down the whole eating experience. Digestion starts in the brain, and slowing down actually changes how your body processes everything that follows, which matters more than most people realize.

I believe the products are vegetarian and vegan friendly. Daring has a lot of protein and the extra veggies are an idea from Chelsea's veggie kickstarter. Adapt as desired! Sugar free and wheat free.
