Asian Toasted Sesame Salad

Organic Baby Spring Mix 
1 Can Chicken 
1 Can Mandarin Oranges 
Cashews 
Asian Toasted Sesame Reduced Fat Dressing 






This is one of my very favorite salads! I get a few meals out of the cans of chicken and oranges, and just sprinkle the cashews on top. In this particular salad I actually used peanuts because I ran out of cashews and had the peanuts on hand. The substitution works out well.

On the Go Smoothie with Oatmeal, Strawberry & Banana

1 cup raw oatmeal 
1/2 cup greek yogurt 

1 1/2 1% cups milk
1/2 banana 
8 frozen medium strawberries 
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 
2 tablespoons honey 

Place all in blender and puree until smooth. Makes 2 servings.

Nutritional Information: Each serving has 400 calories, 19 g protein, 72 g carbohydrates, 5 g fat, 1.5 g saturated fat, 10 mg cholesterol, 7 g fiber, 110 mg sodium, 35 g sugar.

Instead of having a post workout shake and supper I decided to add chocolate protein powder to this smoothie and have it as a meal. The oatmeal makes it more filling, and a little grainy. I really enjoyed this new recipe and am sure it will become something I make on a regular basis. Hope you enjoy it too!
