Why? Ideally for your muscles to repair and ease soreness you should eat carbs & protein in a 3:1 ratio. 3 parts carbs to 1 part protein. Smoked salmon -- also referred to as lox -- is a very lean protein. The spinach wrap is made of whole grains and spinach and provides a healthy dose of dietary fiber. Fiber is important for keeping your digestive system moving and it also keeps you feeling full longer.

The Skinny on Salmon
-- Speeds up metabolism
-- Speeds up metabolism
-- High in Omega-3s. Omega-3s are superpower for your brain (they help improve memory function) and they even help lower your cholesterol!
-- Eating salmon can help prevent macular degeneration:
an age-related disease that can result in vision loss.
BEWARE: Smoked salmon and cured meats often have a higher sodium content which can lead to water retention. It's best to limit your intake of these to a couple times / week.
If you do experience water retention or are feeling bloated I recommend a product called Greens . It's an all-natural powdered form of 38+ herbs & superfoods that helps to detoxify cells and balance the pH out. I LOVE it! Especially great after you've been eating meals high in sodium or if you've eaten out.
