Best Chicken Salad Ever

This chicken salad has a hold on me! Not only is it the best I ever had but you can make it in a matter of minutes in the food processor and customize it to make it your own. It's also high protein and low carb if you make it exactly like me! Which will help you meet your protein goals and keep you full for hours!



SAUCE:
½ cup mayo
¼ cup cottage cheese
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
Juice of ½ lemon
Season with black pepper, celery salt, and paprika


CHICKEN:
3 grilled chicken breasts that are cold 
(I cut them into 3 pieces to pulse faster)

MIX-INS:
½ cup red onion (or white)
½ cup of celery 


Into the food processor add all the SAUCE ingredients and process until smooth and combined. 
Then add in the CHICKEN and pulse until desired consistency. Pulse more for a smoother chicken salad and less for a chunkier chicken salad. 
Then, transfer to your storage or serving bowl and stir in the MIX-INS. 
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed and ENJOY!

Low Carb, High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

When the craving hits for a smoothie, nothing will stop me until I get that cold deliciousness into my mouth. This one is perfection! It's everything I love about a smoothie-shop-smoothie but it's made at home and I know exactly what went into it. The chocolate peanut butter makes it taste like a dessert but it packs TONS of protein (over half my daily amount) and it keeps me full for literal HOURS.


Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie- Serves 1 

2 scoops of Isopure Creamy Vanilla (Or your favorite vanilla protein powder)
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Hersheys brand)
2 Tbsp 5% Fage greek yogurt
2 Tbsp natural peanut butter 
1/2 cup water 
8-10 ice cubes
1 squirt of liquid stevia

Add all the ingredients into your blender and blend for 60 seconds. 

Enjoy!
