Achieve Your “Healthy and Easy” Salad Goals with Eat Smart
When it comes to salads, I can easily get bored with the same old lettuce, veggies, and dressing combo. If I don’t switch things up and keep my salad game fresh, I find myself rejecting salads all together, which I don’t want to do! The perfect salad is delicious, satisfying, and nutritious – all desirable things in a good meal, right?
Eating healthy foods is a top priority in my home. Both my husband and I are very conscious about preparing nutritious meals for ourselves and our children. However, life is busy! Our work schedule is full, we’re raising two kiddos – and well, don’t get me started on the loads of laundry waiting for us to wash, dry, fold and put away (p.s that’s a full-time job in of itself).
Our days are jam packed, to say the least, but thankfully both my husband and I are honest about our limitations and we know that we can’t do it all without some help! But instead of taking shortcuts when we’ve reached our max, like ordering food throughout the week, we take creative approaches like prepping for our meals. One of my absolute favourite ways to plan ahead is to stock our fridge with Eat Smart Gourmet Salad Kits and Salad Shake Ups.
It’s really important to us to reach for REAL food as much as possible (skipping on processed foods) and that’s why Eat Smart is our go-to, especially since close to 90% of Eat Smart products contain clean foods – including all cut vegetable products, salad blends, and our fave nutrient-dense Vegetable Salad Kits. As a brand, their goal for their entire product lineup is to be free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial preservatives, hydrogenated fats, as well as artificial colours, flavours, and sweeteners by the end of 2018.
Eat Smart is a lifesaver for my family and I. As a work from home mom, there’s always something to do! Often, I realize I’m hungry by the time I’m really, really hungry. This is the danger zone for eating something quick and unhealthy, that’s why grabbing a Salad Shake Up for lunch is ideal. I get all the fresh goodness of veggies, the proteins of nuts, and the savoury flavour I crave. They truly hit the spot. Do you know who loves to share a Salad Shake Ups with me? My 3 year old daughter. Just like her mom, she is a big fan of all the different flavour varieties that Eat Smart offers.
From lunch to dinner, we incorporate Eat Smart Gourmet Salad Kits into our family meals regularly. We’ll open up a kit and toss it into a stir fry, or create a mediterranean-style platter with brown rice, legumes, and a fresh salad (using the dressing to season the whole plate), which makes for a nutrient-rich and wholesome supper. Eat Smart Salad Kits help us achieve our healthy eating goals while saving us time in the kitchen. It’s a win-win!
Already, our go-to Gourmet Salad Kit flavours – Sweet Kale, Strawberry Harvest, Sunflower Kale – as well as my favourite Salad Shake Ups – Avocado Ranch, Tropical Lime,Raspberry Acai – contain a “No Artificial: Colours, Flavours, or Preservatives” Label. Which makes me feel really good about what I’m fueling my family and myself with.
If eating clean and saving time in the kitchen are also important to you and your family, I encourage you to learn more about Eat Smart on their website and signing up for their monthly e-newsletters.

I buy Eat Smart when I shop. I love it! It’s delicious and I know I am making a good decision when I eat it!!
I am all about healthy and easy. Sometimes eating horribly is so much easier and quicker than eating healthy.
I love eating salads but hate making them. Eat Smart makes it so easy – love their blends!
Since it’s summer, I’ve started incorporating more salads into my lunches. I’ve seen the Eat Smart salads at my local store and they look delicious!
As someone who eats salad every day all year long, I am completely on board with healthy, clean and fresh ingredients. I generally eat lots of mixed greens and add berries, walnuts and chicken. There are so many variations, I don’t see how people ever get board of salad. The Eat Smart brand sounds like it has incredible choices filled with really interesting combos of ingredients. I am all about eating clean and healthy all the time too. Enjoy!
I LOVE these salads. The Sweet Kale is my favourite, I even have a bag in my fridge right now!
PS: I love your blog logo!
Easy is so important to me! When I look for easy, it’s not always healthy. This looks very nice and refreshing.
Those are my favourite salads! Especially for picnics! just throw them in a bowl and wha la!
Well now we have no excuse. We can all eat healthy even those who claim to be too busy to do so.
