Sophie’s Salad
We have all been there: studying our butts off, cramming like no one has ever crammed before, kicking ourselves for all the “I’ll wake up early and do it tomorrows” we promised ourselves. Eventually, angry sounds start to come from your stomach, and you think, “Holy crap, if I don’t eat right now, I am going to flip out.” Boy, do I have the salad for you. Sophie’s salad is super fast to make and chock-full of high-quality protein to help you power through your study sesh.
