Clean Chicken Salad

I found this recipe at Thin Thighs and Sweet Potato Fries.  Here's my version...

This is what it looks like before I added the Greek yogurt and Light mayo.

 

 ...and this is what it looks like afterwards...


...on a whole wheat tortilla.

Vegetable Quesadilla

I found this recipe at A Black Girl's Guide to Weight Loss.  Here's my version...




I didn't have any reduced fat sour cream OR fat free cheese (the cheese especially increased the calorie count), but ordinarily that's what I would've used.


Total Calories for 1 serving (4 wedges) = 834 

**So word to the wise, eat half of what's pictured or only what's pictured. OR use a lot less cheese and olive oil to reduce the calorie count.**

Drinks for a Snack

I would drink the Berry Boost smoothie for an in-between meal snack and the Protein Plus right after a workout.  Each of these contains two 8 oz servings.  From the bottle, you may think it's okay to knock back the whole bottle randomly because it "looks" healthy, but you have to pay attention to the numbers.


Berry Boost - 260 calories in the entire bottle
Protein Plus Chocolate shake - 380 calories in the entire bottle

*These were buy one get one free at Kroger!
