When it comes to food, Fresh is Best. There’s nothing like a simple recipe that’s full of filling flavor, clean ingredients and good for you. I recently started reading a book on the health and weight-loss benefits of dietary fats. It sounds strange but it’s been working for me. I mostly cut out carbs and sugar, while upping my healthy fats and protein. I’ve been steadily losing weight, while gaining lean muscle; all without counting calories or following a restrictive diet.

This Mozzarella Avocado Caprese Salad is a recipe you can indulge in while feeling good. It’s full of healthy fats, protein and nutrients. Avocados are surprisingly beneficial to you, loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. One serving has 7 grams of fiber, or about 27% of your daily intake. The dietary fiber will leave you feeling full long after you eat this light salad. Plus they’re full of various vitamins and antioxidants.
