Incredible Veggies and Protein!

Recipe: Vegetable Salad With Chicken
Song: The League of Incredible Vegetables Theme Song by The Newsboys


I once heard of someone who didn't like fruits and vegetables and decided not to eat any. How can that be possible? There are so many different types of vegetables and fruits out there, how could you not like at least one?

Since I started eating healthier a few years ago, fruits and vegetables became my best friends. I used to be on Weight Watchers, and they were zero

points (except for the avocado, but that didn't matter to me). Even after I was off of Weight Watchers, vegetables were obviously and important part of my eating habits. I love them because they're a "feel-good food." They have a small amount of calories, they're fresh, and they're filled with water so they fill you up. I can go on and on about the benefits of vegetables but I'm not here to do that. Instead, I'll just cut to the point and tell you this week's recipe. By the way, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post something on this blog! I was on vacation two weeks ago, and I just started a new full-time job (whoo-hoo!) so I'm not used to being on a new schedule just yet!



This week's recipe is a vegetable salad with chicken. It's a perfect lunch to bring to work because it's fast to make, it's portable, and it contains protein so you'll get energy and be full for a long time. Here's the recipe below:

This recipe is perfect for lunch when you're at the office!

Vegetable Salad With Chicken:

What you'll need:

1 fully-grilled chicken breast
1 cup of salad
1 small tomato
A few slices of cucumber
1 tablespoon Nakano Vinegar (or some type of rice vinegar)



Instructions:

1. Toss together all of the vegetables.
2. Add the rice vinegar and toss the salad again. Note: If you don't want your salad to be drenched in the dressing for a while before you eat it, simply put it in a small and portable dressing container so that you can add it later. My mom got me a cheap one at The Christmas Tree Shops!



The song that I decided to pair with this recipe is a bit cheesy, but I ultimately decided on "The League of Incredible Vegetables"-the theme song for the well-known children's cartoon. This song is by a band called The Newsboys. I heard it once and since it sounded good, I thought that it would be nice for my blog. Besides, it's a song about vegetables so it goes perfect with this recipe! Check out the song at the link below. Have a a great rest of the weekend!
