Happy Happy beginning of the week, y’all! We’re back with a super easy recipe post, that’s so simple, you’re going to be all… why are they sharing this again? Can I get a blog-time reading refund?
If you’re anything like us, you’re probably back on the wagon from Valentines. Kind of. Maybe. Enter girl scout cookies in the form of thin mints… shhhh.
So in between bouts of pure bliss that is enjoying Thin Mints protein shakes and veggie wraps, we thought we’d share one of our very favorite go-tos for eating healthy. It’s so basic, it’s kind of embarrassing, but oh so good it made us wonder why we weren’t sharing it. We’re always one to stumble across good salad recipes and think… yes. We must try that. And the easier the better right? No gourmet preps here. So, without further ado… one of our fave go tos: Grilled Chicken Blue Cheese Salad!

Of course you can add or subtract anything to your liking, but this salad is so hardy + simple {and the blue cheese is so good, you won’t be needing dressing} this is all you need:
• Spinach • strawberries • apples {We like to add blueberries or blackberries when in season} • Grilled chicken • sliced almonds + a touch of granola • crumbled blue cheese
Simply grill up your chicken {or bake it} we just add a little olive oil and throw it on, and when it’s ready, slice and add all your ingredients to your liking in the bowl.
Tada! Your very own grilled chicken blue cheese salad.
It’s a great meal to prep for work, or on the go, because it won’t get soggy over time if you keep it refrigerated. One of those great little meals that help you stay healthy while being low maintenance all at the same time. We feel like recipes like this are hard to come by.
You don’t need much blue cheese for that great flavor. We actually want all of the cheese. Always. But just a heads up, it’s heavy on the calories side so keep an eye out- but we feel like you can have a little more if you’re being so good with your salad. ;} It’s a great sub for dressings when it mixes in with the fruit on top of your spinach to make this delish, fresh mix. Yummy!

As always, let us know if you try it. We’d love to hear. Have an inspired day!
I would totally say that I plan on making this, but I still have yet to get back on that really un-fun bandwagon called “resolution” or something like that… I guess I should pin it, should the day come, that my scale yells at me “GET IT TOGETHER” 😉 Looks delicious!
