    Who doesn't crave salad during the summertime? Am I right?

    I know I do anyways.

    There's just something about a fresh salad, hot weather, and sunny days that just works perfectly together.

    This healthy chicken salad recipe is to die for! Perfect for weekly meal prepping, or just an entire meal for the family. #mealprep #healthyrecipes #healthydinnerrecipes

    Lately, Alyssa and I have been obsessed with this southwest avocado chicken salad recipe. Gah, we're in love with the crunchiness of the peppers, the creaminess of the avocado, and the hint of spiciness from the seasoning.

    Honestly, just looking at these pictures makes me wish I had some in my fridge right now. And leftovers aren't out of the question either, because this salad recipe makes 12 servings.

    The book is a detailed weight loss guide that shows you step-by-step how to build a weight loss plan specifically for you.

    One of the most frustrating things about dieting is hitting weight loss plateaus. That's why Macros Made Easy also comes along with a spreadsheet to hold you accountable, and track your progress. The spreadsheet will also alert you when you need to make adjustments to your diet so you can continue losing weight, and avoid those annoying plateaus.

    I started tracking my macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake) over 6 years ago - and I've lost over 70lbs because of it! Not only have I lost the weight, I've kept it off too. Plus, I didn't eliminate any foods from my diet to do it- and neither will you!
