Steak and Edamame

I just had this salad at one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego, and had to share the deliciousness with you all. The steak paired with the edamame helps with satiety and prevents over-consumption of less nutrient dense starches; aka BREAD. I don’t recommend to eat edamame on a daily basis, variety is key, and it is a healthier version of soy. Try to make sure you purchase non-GMO soy products.

Enjoy!
