My Day

Every day, I make sure to take my Velovita Snap 15 minutes before, I start my day or a meal or smoothie. Furthermore, I use Intermittent Fasting which ends at 1 pm each day and then I continue with a Keto Diet. Moreover, I also recommend Kachava (complete whole-food meal).

This particular recipe is a bit different, as well as versatile; with this chicken salad, you can spice it up with a little curry powder or add a little fruit and nuts. Make it anyway you like it.

This version of chicken salad is loaded with Gourmet Nut POWER UP “Mega Omega trail mix from Costco; with walnuts, dried mango, almonds, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds. I wasn’t sure about the whole almonds, so I ate them while making the chicken salad. Although, I do love saving money and buying in bulk. the Power Up comes in 3 different trail mix varieties. I saved the Body Boosting Antioxidant mix for snacking.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my Starbucks (i.e. Venti-size White Chocolate Mocha Latte), but I have incorporated the plôs™ Thermo to curb my appetite and give me an energy boost. As a matter of fact, this is our line of beverage companions, designed for adding to your favorite beverage of choice for a little something extra! However, rather than a disappointing instant coffee that won’t meet your flavor standards, plôs™ Thermo is a non-dairy creamer you’ll love adding to your home-brewed coffee or favorite barista creation to help with your fitness and body composition goals.

How to make the Best Chicken Salad

The fastest way to make chicken salad is either using canned chicken breast or the tastiest and flavorful chicken is using rotisserie chicken like from Costco. However, if you are avoiding any ingredients ending with ose, read your labels before purchasing any prepared or canned food items.

Flavor and dietary variations:

• Add bacon! Fold through half a cup of chopped bacon (precooked and cooled) and sprinkle extra on top before serving.
• Add more Crunch: Use one packet of Power Up MEGA OMEGA Trail Mix. (walnuts, dried mango – almonds – cranberries – pumpkin seeds). Costco currently has bulk size bag of snack size pouches, in 3 different trail mixes; which I use for a quick snack and in baking recipes.
• Lower the fat: Instead of using all mayonnaise, sub out half of it with Greek or plain yogurt. Add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of sale.
• Make it creamier: Replace half the mayonnaise with whipped cream cheese.
• Add avocado: Sliced avocado adds extra richness and a boost of fiber and nutrients.

The Best Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked diced chicken; rotisserie or poached
• 1 apple, your choice (fuji, honey crisp, gala, etc.), peeled and cored
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise or avonnaise
• 2 snack packets of Power Up “Mega Omega Trail Mix
• 2 Tablespoon honey mustard
• salt and pepper to taste

NOTES:

The chicken salad is something I ALWAYS recommend making ahead. This allows the flavors to meld together and stick onto the chicken and celery, making every bite incredible and so delicious!

To store: Place leftovers in a clean air tight container and store in your refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days; Never leave food uncovered, it will absorb other odors from other foods within the fridge.

To make ahead: Prepare the salad up to five hours in advance. This gives all the flavors to mesh well together and still taste fresh!

How to serve chicken salad:

• Over Salad: Place a scoop on top of mixed greens.
• Sandwich: the classic way to enjoy chicken salad, toast two slices of keto bread. And add some fresh tomato slices (to take out leptin in a tomato, remove seeds and skin) and lettuce.
• Use as a dip: Of course, my favorite way! Serve it with thinly sliced zucchinni or keto crackers.
• Low-carb wraps.
• Wraps: Turn it into a wrap by using keto tortillas.
• Chicken Melt: Scoop onto any low carb muffin or whole wheat bread topped with your favorite slice of cheese.

Is chicken salad keto?

It is more easier to make your own chicken salad so, you know what is in it. I’ve noticed that most prepared chicken salad or restaurant varieties are not keto friendly. The mayonnaise and other ingredients they use often contains added sugars and they add plenty of dried fruits and grapes in them.
