Chicken Salad
I made a Garlic Lemon Chicken last night and had lots of leftovers! Therefore I decided to use the chicken and make some homemade chicken salad for lunch the next day. First I started off with 1/2 of a tortilla. I like doing half of the tortilla because a whole one is extremely large!
Add as much Greek yogurt as you would mayo. Then toss in some curry powder according to taste and VIOLA! Delicious and healthy chicken salad.

To round out my lunch I take some leftover pineapple and blueberries.
Then I diced some onion, celery, and dried cranberry and added it to the diced chicken.
Next, I grabbed some Greek yogurt and some cumin. I am not a fan of mayo, never have been. Therefore, I always try and find healthy substitutions for mayo. For chicken salad, tuna salad, deviled eggs, etc I use Greek yogurt instead. It's great because it has no real flavor yet mocks the consistency you get with regular mayo. Also because it is flavorless it will take on whatever spices you decide to use with it. I chose curry powder!!
Five Minute Lunch!
First start off with some random fruit. Whatever you have in the fridge.

Then grab whatever yogurt you have! I have recently become HUGE fan of Greek Style Yogurt. Why? Because it packs double if not triple the protein of regular yogurt without adding that many extra calories, plus I get the all natural version which has no added chemicals!
Add the yogurt on top of the fruit so that you create a nice top layer. Then drizzle some honey and cinnamon over the yogurt. This will help cut the bitterness of the Greek yogurt and add some delicious flavor without added calories.
Take whatever cheeses you have in the fridge and whatever herbs and stick them in a small Tupperware container. I picked basil, fresh mozzarella, and ricotta cheese.
Next make a mini pita pizza!
Some almonds for a snack!
