This week, we’re going plant-powered with a fiber-rich Lentil Power Salad that’s as satisfying as it is simple. French green lentils bring the protein, while a base of spinach, crunchy veggies, and a zesty Dijon dressing keeps things light, energizing, and full of real food flavor.
Like every bowl in this series, this one is REBOOT-approved — free from added sugars, full of nutrient-dense ingredients, and designed to keep you feeling steady and strong.
