Gotta Feed the Hungry Before it Turns Hangry!

Other than liquid pep (aka caffeine), I roll on empty all the way to lunchtime every day. Don’t yell at me!

My tum-tum doesn’t seem to hint that it’s hungry all morning. I can’t help it!

But the thing is that when it does get hungry, it goes from hungry to hangry in about 7.59 seconds, which when roughly translated in the truth-o-meter comes to about 15 minutes.

FEED ME!

And so I do.

Mandarin Chicken Salad

I almost always have bagged salad in the fridge because I’m not about to wash, spin, dry, and chop a head of lettuce every time I want some.

Psssht with a side of no way.

I want a healthy meal, but I want it to be easy and quick.

Helloooooooo, salad kit, and hey there, Fresh Express, cuz quality is as Fresh Express does.

Spill forth your fresh greens into my bowl, please!

Fresh Express Italian salad mix

So basically y’all, I take some pre-cooked chicken strips and heat them in a skillet for a few minutes with a slap dash of seasoning o’er the top.

Then I fix up a right pretty bed of lettuce in a bowl, and sprinkle on some mandarin orange slices, toasted almonds, sliced carrots, a few chow mein noodles and a drizzle of ginger soy dressing.

And then I CHOW DOWN on my guilt-free and nutritious salad! All within minutes!

  1. Nom nom. Love that it’s so filling and healthy. Only problem I’d have is the temptation to dowse it with dressing :)

  2. I have been eating a ton of salads since I started weight watchers. I love easy. My hubby makes a mean salad. I don’t. I am all about the easy salad.

  3. I use it all the time! I usually just make a basic salad by adding in tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons.

  4. That looks fantastic!! I love salads!
    I’m like you. My tummy says UGH in the mornings, so I stick with my coffee and that’s all until lunch or sometimes a mid-day snack instead…

  5. I’ve never had Fresh Express salad before. I’ll have to look for it next time I’m in the grocery store. Me and hubby have been eating lots of salads since the new year.

  6. Mmmm! That salad looks delish! I want some!

    … Wait. Who said that?! Who am I?!?!?

  7. That looks great!!!

  8. Fresh Express is a great way to ensure you take some of the work out of making salads. My husband is trying to lose some weight and eat healthier, I’m totally going to try this out.

  9. That looks tasty, but now I have to look up what hangry means, lol.
