Meet Your Power Bowl
This isn’t just a pretty beet salad. It’s a midlife performance bowl disguised as lunch.
Chewy farro, sweet roasted beets, peppery arugula, salty feta, and crunchy walnuts all show up with a job to do: support circulation, brain health, and steady energy. The balsamic and olive oil pull everything together so it eats like something you’d actually look forward to, not a punishment for being an adult. Chef tip, freeze the feta, then grate using a microplane, to get a nice fine layer of cheese covering the whole salad.
Why Midlife Wellness & Beyond Approved
This salad is built around four big pillars of midlife-friendly nutrition:
· Whole grains for staying power: Farro brings fiber and slow-digesting carbs that support stable blood sugar and longer, more sustained energy.
· Beets for blood flow: Naturally rich in nitrates, beets can support nitric oxide production, which helps blood vessels relax and may support healthy blood pressure and circulation.
· Greens for detox & digestion: Arugula and herbs bring bitter compounds and antioxidants that support digestion and cellular health.
· Healthy fats for brain & heart: Olive oil and walnuts deliver monounsaturated and omega-3 fats that support brain function, heart health, and satiety.
