My current hyper-fixation meal that comes together in 5 minutes!
If there’s one thing I understand, it’s getting swept up in the flow of the work week and feeling like you don’t have much time to make yourself lunch… enter my current hyper-fixation salad recipe. It only takes about 5 minutes to put together as long as you have grilled chicken prepped, or 15 if you don’t.
This recipe is packed with 39g protein and 11g fiber and it’s not only healthy and balanced, but also very satisfying, delicious, and easy to whip up.
I have already had this 3 times in the span of 5 days … so take that as your sign to try it out!
