Author daniel Categories LifeStyle, Recipes, Uncategorized

Why Dr. Hoody endorses this recipe:

Cobb salad is one of my favorites. An ideal diet should contain a large amount of vegetables and also a good amount of healthy, natural protein. That’s Cobb salad! 

Greens, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and lots of them, supply ample servings of vegetables for your daily needs. Then mix in your favorite proteins like feta cheese, avocado, chicken or turkey breast, and even a small amount of bacon to make it really tasty. And last, Garnish with your favorite spices and dress with olive oil, lemon and/ or vinegar.

This is a combination of vegetables, protein loaded with vitamins, minerals and in combination to support any person’s metabolism and health. This should be a regular – one, two or even three times per week. Make it your dinner, your way.
