Healthy Fats
For those looking to curb midday cravings, this superfood salad is packed with plenty of healthy fats, including eggs, Greek yogurt, and parmesan cheese. Quality fats are energy-dense macronutrients that not only aid in stabilizing blood sugars, but promote feelings of satiety throughout the day. Fats that come from plant-based sources, including nuts and seeds, provide key nutrients.
