This protein packed spinach and pea salad is easy to make, and is super nutritious. You’ll be getting all the benefits of leafy greens along with protein-packed peas and almonds, which are super good for your skin.
Almonds, good for your skin, you say? Why, yes, grasshopper. According to a recent study, post-menopausal women who snacked on them showed significant skin improvement in wrinkle severity.*
Personally, I like my wrinkles because, as Audrey Hepburn put it so well, “I’ve earned every one of them!” If you are interested in the study, you can find it here.
