Packed with protein, snappy veggies and a super light, fresh dressing, once you have tried this recipe, you will be working it into the menu every week. The best part is how well it lasts in the fridge, making it perfect for batch cooking and prepping health meals for the week.

Ingredients:

1 14 oz can White Beans, rinsed

1 cup Uncooked Barley (pearled, semi-pearled, or quick)

1/2 Red Onion, diced

4-6 Persian Cucumbers, diced

1 bunch Parsley, chopped

Sprinkle of Shelled Pistachios, to taste (optional)

Dressing:

1/4 C Lemon Juice, fresh squeezed

1/4 C Olive Oil

1/2 C Seasoned Rice Vinegar

2 Cloves Garlic, Minced

1 tsp Dried Oregano

1 tsp Salt

Directions:

1. Cook Barley according to package directions.  Pearled takes longer than semi-pearled, and then quick cooking barley is the fastest.
2. Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Place dressing ingredients except for the olive oil in a high speed blender and process.  
4. Add olive oil to the blender and pulse or add oil and vinegar mix to a dressing bottle and shake to combine. 
5. Toss bean salad with dressing, to taste. 

Serve over a bed of mixed greens.  Add cooked and diced chicken to increase protein even more.  This dressing also makes a delicious chicken marinade.

If you are over being frustrated by your body, are tired of being tired, and feel like everything you do makes things worse rather than better, it is time to learn how to take care of your body NOW!

Let me help. 

If you are deep in the Perimenopause transition, you need to REWRITE YOUR SELF-CARE MANUAL with How to Powerup Peri/menopause: the Complete Guide 

Or 

If you are Perimenopausal or menopausal and feel like you are constantly struggling with inflammation, bloating, exhaustion, constipation, and sudden weight gain.  It is likely you suspect it is due to what you are eating, but don’t know what or how to change.  You need the Powerup and Reset Program.

In perimenopause and menopause our hormones are totally different, so our approach needs to be different too.

Best news is, the approach we need does NOT include:

• Punishing amounts of exercise
• Starvation
• Unrealistic goals that take you way out of your comfort zone.
• Fasting
• Keto

It DOES include:

• Feeding ourselves the BEST foods on a regular basis to assure out body it is fed and cared for.
• Editing our exercise to make it efficient and effective so we don’t waste time spinning our wheels.
• Learning to apply easy and strategic self-care to help our hormones settle down.

Have you tried and failed to change your health in the past?  Consider this:

1. Now is the time to take your health seriously.  What we do RIGHT NOW decides if we will spend our golden years sick and broken or thriving and enjoying life.  

2.  Just about EVERYTHING you read or see in Health Media is NOT designed for women in Perimenopause or menopause.  Our hormones are DIFFERENT than men and younger women.  Things that work for other people are likely to make things WORSE for you right now.  

3.  We cannot afford to waste time with-fast fix weight loss schemes that will likely cost us precious bone and muscle, cause us to gain belly fat, and can even cause us to become more at risk for heart attack and stroke.
