When you’re out to eat and trying to make healthy choices, ordering a salad seems like a no-brainer. But beware of the iceberg lettuce trap! Many restaurants use iceberg lettuce as the base for their salads because it’s cheap and has a long shelf life, but it’s not the healthiest choice as you would learn from the 5 step meal maker in the Tyro Techique Program.
Iceberg lettuce has a high water content and is low in nutrients compared to other greens like spinach, kale, and arugula. These greens are packed with vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function properly. Eating a variety of greens in your salad can also help you feel fuller and more satisfied than just eating iceberg lettuce.
Next time you’re out to eat, consider opting for a salad that includes a variety of greens. Not only will it be more nutritious, but it will also be more flavorful and satisfying. And if you’re looking to make a healthy salad at home, try mixing up your greens with some spinach, kale, or arugula for a delicious and nutritious meal. Remember, just because a salad is green doesn’t mean it’s healthy!
