The season of salad is upon us and it’s time to get creative. We all love tacos, but it’s not always a mutual love with our digestion system. The heaviness of a corn or flour tortilla can create bloating and grogginess, and set us up for a decline in motivation to do anything. We need food fuel to help us throughout our work day, not food thats going to drag us down! However, we don’t need to sacrifice taste. OBC Eats this week transformed a taco into a salad and it’s absolutely delicious. Raw, fresh, organic vegetables encompassed in a fiesta of flavor and texture.
Tell us what your favorite OBC eats is and why, and you can be selected to come in and participate in our next Wednesday OBC Eats!
