Senada Greca in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Viral Recipe" for Avocado Mash Chicken Salad

Senada Greca is sharing her viral recipe – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the personal trainer and influencer flaunts her flat abs in a crop top and exercise pants while in the kitchen. “Avocado Mash Chicken Salad - one of my most viral recipes, so I had to post it again,” she writes in the captioned of the Instagram video. “Have you made this recipe??? If you haven’t made this yet, DO IT! You won’t regret it! One of my absolute fave dishes.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Protein in Every Meal

Senada understands the importance of fueling her body with lots of protein. She makes sure to eat enough at every meal. In one of her Instagram videos, she unveiled her daily eats. For breakfast she had four scrambled eggs with pita, tzatziki, cucumber, and tomato salad. For lunch, mixed greens, sweet potato, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, goat cheese, double salmon, olive oil, and lemon. After her workout she made a protein shake made with plant milk and chocolate protein, and cacao. Dinner was a Caesarsalad with double the portion of grilled chicken and “way too much dressing,” she joked.

2. Macro Tracking

Senada is a “flexible eater,” she told Glamour. “My main focus is getting enough protein daily; carbs and fats fill the rest of my macros, which I intuitively track. I suggest that most people do track their macros, especially in the beginning of their fitness journey, so as to learn what the proper way of feeding ones’ self looks like.”

3. Hydration

Senada starts her day with water and keeps drinking it throughout the afternoon. “I wake up daily at 6:30AM. First thing I do after washing up, is have a full glass of room temperature water with half a lemon,” she told Ryder Wear. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

4. Yoga

Part of the trainer’s “holistic approach” to fitness is doing yoga. She explains that “we are more than a mechanically moving body. Our minds and souls need as much caring as our bodies. I have found that caring for our body in a mindful way, cares for our mind and soul as well. Allowing ourselves to listen to our body’s signals, moving mindfully, not only can be a great tool in injury prevention, but also maximizing our physical and mental performance,” she told Women’s Best. Yoga is not only “a means to help with my balance and mobility,” but “also as a time to quiet my mind and turn my attention inward,” she says.

5. Meditation

“Meditation is that other component that we rarely think of or make time for, but even a few minutes, as little as 5 minutes of meditation a day, can have a huge positive impact on our psyche and in turn our body as well. If we’re in a great mental and spiritual space, we’re able to perform better in all aspects of life.” “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

• Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
• Building skills to manage your stress
• Increasing self-awareness
• Focusing on the present
• Reducing negative emotions
• Increasing imagination and creativity
• Increasing patience and tolerance
• Lowering resting heart rate
• Lowering resting blood pressure
• Improving sleep quality
