10 Simple High Protein Summer Salads (Easy, Fresh & Filling)

Summer is that time of year when the warmer weather arrives, the sun is shining bright and we’re out and about enjoying all of the things that this season has to offer. The produce is bright and full of flavor and it’s time to take advantage of all the beautiful fruit and veggies that are in season.

Building off of that, summer is also a time of enjoying lighter food, dining al fresco, barbecues and get togethers. If you’re like me, often the warmth brings a slightly reduced appetite. That’s where fresh, delicious salads that are high in protein come in. You can still get your protein and a lovely meal without the bulk.

There’s kind of an art to making salads though. If you’ve ever made a salad and found yourself hungry an hour later… you’re not alone. A lot of salads are light—but not actually satisfying.

Superfood Kale Salad

Superfood – it’s one of the biggest phrases in nutrition right now. Superfood indicates a food that is nutrient dense and will benefit the body on a deep nutritional level. Everyone wants superfoods these days. Our guests that come to our fitness retreat love to talk about superfoods and how they can get more of them. It’s a great conversation because there is some confusion out there. There are like a zillion shake diets out there (I will not name any of them) who claim to be selling “superfoods”.

Superfoods are -> Whole, unprocessed, colorful foods.

I love cheeseburgers. I know there are others out there who love a good burger. Give me a medium rare, high quality beef (or grass-fed beef) burger and I’m so happy. I love a delicious, juicy burger and fries. I’m just like everyone else and I have my “comfort food” loves. As much as I love a burger and fries, I also know that a burger and fries combo isn’t the healthiest out there for me. So I created a perfect, low carb and healthier option to a burger!
