Heartwarming Winter Light Meal Proposals

Do you often find yourself thinking:“Why am I always sleepy in the afternoon?”

The answer is: you probably ate too many refined carbohydrates at lunch.

So the first change you need to make is a low-carb lunch and more stable blood sugar.

Have you heard of a warm salad?
Eating more salad can give you both a low-carb lunch and steadier blood sugar at the same time!

But you might ask: "Why eat salad when it's so cold outside?" Here’s why:

  ✅ Health and body goals don’t pause for the season: Those focusing on fat loss, sugar control, and fitness stay committed to their diet all year round.

  ✅ Refresh & Reset: After heavy winter meals like hot pot, BBQ, or fried food, a salad is the best way to "rebalance" your body the next day.

  ✅ The Quickest Option: For those eating out, salads remain the most accessible healthy choice at convenience stores and cafes.

  ✅ Easier to keep your veggie intake up: It’s easier to lack vegetables in winter, salads are the fastest way to get your daily nutrients.

However, salad preferences change in the winter. People often choose: 

   . Warm/Hot Salads: Roasted vegetables (broccoli, baby corn), cooked root vegetables (pumpkin, sweet potato, potato) paired with warm chicken breast or a warm egg.

   . Hearty Toppings: Nuts, cheese, beef, chicken, or beans - they’ll keep you full longer.

   . Rich Dressings: Roasted sesame, caesar, or curry yogurt are more popular than light vinaigrettes.

  . Salad with soup or hot tea: Classic winter combo.

Now take a look at the Ricocafe salad bowl that works for both cold and hot foods!

Its vacuum insulation locks in warmth, so when you open your lunch at noon, your roasted vegetables and fried chicken stay warm and delicious - instead of cold and greasy.

Since plastic containers can raise concerns when heated, and glass is often too heavy and cool down too fast, stainless steel vacuum bowl is the perfect and only choice for your warm light meals!
