Padma Lakshmi Shares High-Protein Chickpea Spinach Salad Recipe For Weight Loss - NDTV Food

Our food options get very limited when we are chasing fitness goals. No matter how strong the cravings are, we have to give up on butter chicken, cheesy burgers, and other foods rich in calories. One has to consistently eat healthily and choose more nutritious food options such as leafy vegetables and whole grains to inch closer to the goal. Healthy food doesn't have to be necessarily boring. While you may have to reluctantly stop eating sauces and rich curries, there are other flavoursome options that will provide great taste along with nutrition.

To assist you in your fitness journey, celebrity chef Padma Lakshmi, in an Instagram Reel, shares the recipe for a delicious, high-protein chickpea spinach salad. According to her, the salad is low in calories, requires minimal ingredients, and can be prepared quickly. Being rich in protein and light to eat, the salad can be the perfect dish to munch for weight loss. Take a look:
