Sometimes you don't want to cook, or it's too hot to cook, or you just don't have it in you. I get it! And it's totally normal, and ok- don't beat yourself up.
This can also be a time, however, when it's dangerous. Why? Because if you're hungry and you don't want to cook, you'll be tempted to eat things that either aren't on your program or that just aren't good for you. What's the solution? Have something already ready to go! That's where my Summer Harvest Chicken Salad Lean and Green Recipe comes in.
You can throw this together in just a matter of minutes, often with ingredients you already have in the pantry and fridge. You could also plan ahead and just have a batch of this in the fridge for when you need it!
My kids and my man love this too and it often serves as a great after school snack or I've even seen someone in my household (names withheld to protect the not-so-innocent...) take just a forkful out of the container when he's needing a nibble.
This recipe is delicious, Lean and Green and totally approved for any low carb plan including the Mediterranean Diet, Weight Watchers, Keto and more. It is even approved for an HCG diet if you omit the yogurt! You can see the nutritional breakdown below.
