Easy meals and snacks

I am just going to share a few simple ideas for meals or mid afternoon "snacks".

The salad contains cherrie tomatoes, raw carrots, cucumber and chicken (left over)
For the sauce I have used olive oil, balsamic vinager and salt.

For "snack" you can have the same but I usually don't add the sauce so I can keep it in my bag and eat anytime, anywhere.

For a really light meal I had basa grilled with salt, lemon juice and provence herbs. With that I had swede, cabagge and brocolli. Just added a bit of olive oil before eating.

Simple like that, make it easy!
