When you don’t have time for a lot of cooking in the kitchen, here are some quick and easy tips from the Beach Body Nutrition Lab for healthy eating with a special focus on raw vegetables. Get maximum nutrition with every bite.


Here’s my favorite no-cooking recipe (4 servings):


Raw Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad

1 large bunch kale, washed, thoroughly dried, stems removed, finely chopped
(6 to 8 cups chopped)
8 brussel sprouts, finely shredded
1½ medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ tsp. Himalayan salt
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. raw cider vinegar
24 whole almonds, chopped

Instructions:

1. Combine kale, brussel sprouts, cucumbers, and bell pepper in a large serving bowl.


2. Season with salt.


3. Drizzle with oil, lemon juice, and vinegar; toss gently to blend.


4. Refrigerate, covered, for 15 minutes.


5. Sprinkle with almonds and enjoy!
