Buffalo Chicken Avocado Salad

1 Serving of Buffalo Chicken Recipe
1/2 Avocado, cubed
1 cup Spring Salad mix
Juice of 1 lime

I absolutely love this recipe!  The taste of the buffalo chicken is amazing with just a little kick. I use Sunday as a big prep day and made enough buffalo chicken for 4 days.  I store the chicken in a separate small container and add over my salad when ready.
Save your calories for quality protein, carbs, and fats.  I skip the dressing on this salad because the lime gives it the perfect balance.

In a small baking pan place two chicken breast flat.  Add in the 4 tbsp of Buffalo sauce over chicken. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until done.

Easy Light Summer Salads (only 5 ingredients)

I think it's important to keep things light and easy in the summer.  Our family is always on the go with activities and sports, so we have to get healthy fast complex carbs and nutrients to keep energized. 

Sometimes might confuse fast with processed items or drive through options.  Healthy can still be fast, tasty, and filling.

Feta Pasta Salad
1/2 Package of Organic Whole Wheat Penne Noodles
10 organic cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 organic crumbled sliced and quartered. 
1 tbsp. crumbed feta cheese. 
Newman's Own Italian Organic Dressing, to drizzle.
(If you have some sliced black olives it goes great with this dish)

Once Pasta is cooked and rinsed just add in all the ingredients.  I lightly drizzle the dressing over the pasta until I get the amount desired.  Then refrigerate until ready to eat.  Before serving remember to give it a toss to mix it all back up again.  Enjoy!

Wellness Wednesday Green Delight Summer Juice #5

 

Parsley in Juicing?

 

Why add parsley to your juice?  Parsley contains Vitamins A,B1, B2, B3, and C, Foliate Acid, Iron, Potassium, Sodium, Copper, Silicon, Sulfur, Calcium, and Cobalt.  Because parsley increases bladder release it can be use to aid bladder infections and function.  While detoxing naturally this summer you can aid your release of toxins through the bladder.  The addition of some great fruits and veggies can help cancel out the stronger parsley flavor. 


Green Delight Summer Juice #5                 
Parsley handfu
1 handful spinach
1 lemon, peeled
handful carrots
1 pink grapefruit, peeled
half cucumber with peel
1/2 red delicious apple
Easy to make, just juice everything into the glass and enjoy!  In this juice the apple and grapefruit off set the taste of parsley wonderfully!

Six Layer Fruit Salad Recipe

I love easy to throw together salads that are refreshing, healthy, and tasty.  We made this for a family and friends brunch and I loved how pretty it was.  I used my Pampered Chef punch bowl, which really showed off the colors of the antioxidant rich fruits. 

 

Six Layer Fruit Salad

Cherry's
Watermelon Balls
Pineapple
Red Grapes
Strawberries
Blueberry's

Arrange in the order you like, mind is in order from bottom to top.  Once we arrived at the brunch I then mixed the fruit up for a blended scoopful. 

The great thing about summer is enjoying some delicious cooling tasty salads.  We prefer to not mix anything in the fruit, but you could have a side of topping to add over your fruit salad.  I sometimes will mix yogurt with some orange juice to make a citrus addition.

The great thing about juicing is that you are super charging your body with nutrients and allowing your digestion to rest without the fiber.  Through June I am sharing some of my favorite Juices and Smoothies in Celebration of Fat Sick and Nearly Dead.  This Movie is celebrating its 2nd Anniversary.  You can watch it free on Youtube for a limited time. 

 

Joe travels to America not to eat the food, but to do a walk about and enjoy Juice for 60 days.  ONLY JUICE.  While this may sound drastic and hard to do, I have went 30 days on juice alone and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had.  This is not a crash diet.  This is a cleansing and fast to detox your body of all the junk we have consumed and stored in the body.  This is all about cutting out the junk, super charging the body with nutrients, and healing.  When you Juice, you are still eating, you are eating micronutrients, super charging the system.  Joe was able to get off his meds, heal his body, and change his lifestyle.  You will also see and hear information from Doctors and Health Specialist that give you the benefits of Juicing and why every person who eats a typical processed diet should do one.  I encourage you to watch his walkabout and story, its life changing experience, not just for him, but the people he helps along the way. 

Chicken Sausage Zitti Recipe

Sometimes we just need a quick healthy meal. 

 

Chicken Sausage Zitti
1 package of Organic Noodles
couple links of chicken sausage cooked and sliced
Home made tomato sauce, freezer
mozzarella cheese

This is a super-fast meal I can have made within a half hour, organic, nutritious, and delicious.  The chicken sausages are bought at either whole foods or Sprouts.  I love that they are all natural and no additives other than Spices. 

I boil the noodles until just cooked, don't let them get to soft. While noodles are boiling I heat the sausages in my toaster oven for 15 minutes and then slice and set aside. 
At this time noodles and sausages are done and ready.  The pasta sauce is pulled from the freezer the night before and thaws in the refrigerator through the day.  I then add pasta sauce, noodles, and chicken sausage together in a large oven safe dish.  Sprinkle some cheese and bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted, usually 15 minutes. 


Serve with a side salad and a dark green vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts.

For the sneaky chef, add in shredded zucchini, carrots, spinach, or pretty much any vegetable to bulk up the vitamins in the dish.

1/2 Organic Coconut Cliff Bar, cubed

2 Strawberries, diced

I like to layer my ingredients.  So a little yogurt, then granola, then dome fruit and coconut, then the protein bar.  Then add another layer until its all in and sprinkle the top with what is left.  Easy and Delicious.
