Protein Packed Curry Chicken Salad Recipe

Healthy eating is about finding foods you love

In order to achieve, and more importantly maintain results, you have to be consistent. However, it’s hard to be consistent with healthy meals and workouts if you hate the food you are eating and don’t enjoy the workouts. Eventually “forcing” yourself to do something that isn’t pleasurable gets old, and it becomes easy to throw in the towel and go back to your old habits.

If you want to make lasting changes to your diet you need to :

• Find healthy food that you actually enjoy
• Feel satisfied with the amount of food you are eating 
• Make food that fits into your lifestyle

Too often we view a healthy lifestyle as a time to deprive ourselves of foods we love rather than finding meals that are both nutritionally balanced and delicious. Sticking to a healthy lifestyle long term is just a matter of finding a handful of recipes that you enjoy for each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and creating a rotation. If you are filling your menu up with recipes you actually want to eat, you are much more likely to stick to your healthy eating. Getting to this point is when you will truly hit your stride. 

We want to help make nutrition simple

As busy moms we are all about convenience. Having quick leftovers to grab is a must. If you are taking the time to make a healthy and delicious dinner, it better be good for lunch leftovers the next day. Another smart habit to get into is to cook in batches. Making several portions of a meal and eating it for several days is another way to make your life easier when it comes to healthy eating. 

This Curry Chicken Salad is a big win for us. It’s simple and quick to make, is packed with protein, full of nutritious vegetables and makes the best leftovers. Serve the salad on its own, or place on top of greens to get even more veggies in.
