Dear Body Buds,

Ahhhhh, what a beautiful salad this was! The Power Foods Lifestyle provides structure of knowing how to combine foods with its main macronutrient to put your body in a fat-blasting environment! I feel like I've been eating soups a lot lately (they are SO easy to prep and have all my containers in the fridge to grab and go in my busy life), but today I wanted a sit-down-and-enjoy type meal!

This salad took me no longer than 7 minutes to throw together, which is partly due to my preparation in food prep! In the Power Foods Lifestyle and on the Body Buddies Podcast, I talk about how food prep is everything as you seek to live a healthy lifestyle. I encourage you to follow me on Facebook and Instagram to maximize your day-to-day learning of strategic nutrition and exercise principles that will bless your life and the lives of those around you.

As for this salad, I have decided to call it. . .

Garlic Chicken and Radish Salad

Ingredients:

4 oz. chicken breast

2 small radish

1/4 med. zucchini

1/2 tomato

1/8 c. raw almonds

2 handfuls spring garden mix

Greek Anything dressing

1/2 Tbsp. garlic salt

1/2 tsp. Chili powder

Dressing:

1/2 c. 2% cottage cheese

1/2 tomato

1 Tbsp. ranch powder mix

2 tsp. taco seasoning

2 Tbsp. almond milk

1. Wash, trim, and cube the chicken breast. Place in a small frying pan and put enough water in there to cover the bottom of the pan (I did this in mass amounts during food prep on Sunday, then put it in tupperware to use throughout the week). Pour 1-2 Tbsp. of any Greek Anything dressing into the water, add 1/2 Tbsp. garlic salt, and 1/2 tsp. Chili powder. Let simmer until the chicken is cooked thoroughly, being sure to flip the chicken every minute or so.

2. Blend all ingredients in the dressing together. I like to do this in bulk and keep a tupperware of this yummy dressing in my fridge for my salads.

3. Wash and slice/dice the radish, zucchini, and tomato. Toss with the spring garden mix (o any other leafy greens along with the almonds and dressing. Boom, you have a gorgeous PVF meal (protein, veggie, fat -- read The Power Foods Lifestyle if you don't know what this is yet!). You can alternately swap out the almonds for a carb, perhaps 1/3 c. brown rice, a slice of bread or a roll, or some crackers, and make this a PVC meal :)

Have fun with your version of Power Foods Lifestyle meals! This is a lifestyle, and once you begin experimenting with different combinations of your Power Foods, your life becomes a lot more rich in nutrients and your body feels a ton better! Time for you to start today!

Love your bud,
