My chopped sandwich recipe is essential for beautiful skin, hair, and nails – it also boosts happy hormones
A HEALTH expert has shared her chopped sandwich recipe chock full of skincare benefits.
Not only is the quick bite great for skin but it also boosts hair and nail health.
Shakira (@beingwellishot) shared the recipe in an Instagram post.
She explained that your meals often “reflects” your skin and your health.
Shakira quickly threw together a chopped salad packed with omega 3s, collagen, and proteins on her cutting board, adding arugula sprouts, peppers, and pickled radishes to her greens.
To improve her hormones and gut health, she made sure the peppers and radishes were pickled.
With a knife, she diced and chopped the ingredients into fine pieces.
“The gut holds about 70 percent of our serotonin, our happy hormones, so always eat for happiness, for beauty, there’s so many reasons to eat well,” she said.
She added in pickled sauerkraut, chives, salt and olive oil.
Once all the ingredients were finely diced, she grabbed two pieces of toast, buttering one slice with vegan cream cheese and the other with hummus.
Shakira layered the fermented greens over the toast and finished off with some sardines and balsamic vinegar.
The sandwich, she explained, was also rich in fiber to improve skin wounds and quicken the acne healing process.
Her viewers raved about her healthy and easy recipe idea.
“Okay but sardines/any tin fish in a chopped sandwich is genius utilizing all that flavor and mixing it sounds so good!” said one commenter.
“I did this type of chopped sandwich with olives and some amazing canned pre seasoned za’atar chickpeas and man it was good!”
“This looks delicious! Thank you for normalizing eating right! Love your page!” said another.

“I’m definitely making this sandwich. I eat sardines on my toast with avocado but this I’ll definitely be making,” said a third.
“My sis used to make a similar sandwich to this for me, I was glowing,” said a fourth.
Shakira even managed to inspire others to venture out of their food comfort zone.
“Okay this may finally get me to make a sardine sandwich,” said one.
“I know they’re good for me but I just haven’t been brave enough yet!”
“Always thought sardines seemed repulsive my whole life until seeing this,” agreed another.
“I MIGHT give it a go. Looks bomb.”
