Ladies, we all know getting in our daily protein whilst momming is a HUGE challenge! look no further than this sneaky trick to get in some extra protein in your salad. We always seem to be hungry. No wonder with the demands our bodies have on a day to day basis. Not to mention if you are breastfeeding a little one! Those hunger pangs are never far away.

Look No Further

This salad has 49g of protein in one serving and its isn’t all from the chicken. It can feel like you are sitting eating a salad forever, chewing away, when your kids are running a muck or or baby is yelling for more attention ;)

Its all in the dressing! So what is the secret you say? If you are dairy intolerant, you will be a little disappointed…have you guessed it? Cottage cheese Although I should probably try making a dressing with tofu for the dairy free folks, what do you think?

Anyway, 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese packs a whopping 14g of protein, teamed with a cup of chopped chicken you are up to 49g in one serving without the burden of all the extra meat in your salad. top it off with a sprinkle of hemp hearts and you are laughing.

There is something about this salad that makes me want more…but luckily it isn’t because I’m hungry, it’s because it tastes so good! If you try it let me know what you think and what you would change. Would be delish with some ground beef too….some chopped tomatoes! the options are endless.
