Flat Belly Foods – Top Healthy Kale Salad Recipes

The Right Nutrition = The Right Flat Belly Results

Getting abs – you know the ones you see where you’re like “holey crap how did they get those abs?”, really requires the right nutrition strategy, no if’s and’s or butts!

Fortunately, kale is one of the healthiest and most nutritious leafy greens you can add to your diet. Kale is extremely nutritionally dense, with a ton of antioxidants, vitamins minerals like calcium and vitamin C, and cancer-fighting agents like sulforaphane. But unfortunately, on its own, it doesn’t really taste the greatest.

However, with the right ingredients, you can totally turn kale into something that tastes great. These salads can be eaten as sides to your main meal, or turned into complete meals by adding grilled chicken, salmon, or prawns.

You’re going to be able to whip these up in 5 minutes flat so try adding at least one to each of your daily meal plans and see the ab results come in…
