My Favourite Chicken Salad Recipe

What’s the secret to long term health and continuous physique progress? Great workouts and delicious recipes that are on plan! I’m not much of a chicken breast eater so I definitely need some flavour to keep it interesting and most chicken salad recipes contain loads of mayonnaise or dairy products that contain an over abundance of calories and fats, but not this one. A simple can of coconut milk makes this salad deliciously creamy while roasted chiles, fresh cilantro, sweet fruit and crunchy pecans really bring the flavour. Serve on large butter lettuce leaves. Servings: 8 Here’s what you need… For the Creamy Coconut Dressing: 1 (14oz) can coconut milk, full fat ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, melted ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder lemon zest (all you can get from one small lemon) 1 teaspoon lemon juice dash salt dash pepper For the Salad: 1 cup celery, finely chopped 1 cup red grapes, halved ½ cup pecans, chopped 1 apple, finely chopped 4oz can mild chopped green chiles …

Craving CHOCOLATE?

One of the the most interesting side effects from breastfeeding is these crazy chocolate cravings I’m getting. I didn’t have much of a sweet tooth before or during pregnancy and I could easily pass up dessert, sweets or cookies but now it’s a completely different story. Since I started breastfeeding all I want is chocolate! I’ve been eating Lindt bars like they are going out of business (seriously!) but to my pleasant surprise there is actually a scientific explanation. When a woman nurses, deficiencies in magnesium or iron can occur making her desire chocolate, which has a fair amount of both minerals. Yay! That is a good enough excuse for this mama. With increasing my magnesium intake to 600 mg per day I decided to whip up my Chocolate Mousse recipe from my Strong Like Mommy Ebook, it definitely hit the spot and I got my chocolate fix with  an abundance of healthy fats (also super important while breastfeeding), lean protein from New Zealand Whey Protein Powder and skipped out on the process sugar – win, …
