Why I love Strawberry, Chicken & Kale Salad Recipe

I love today’s Strawberry, Chicken & Kale Salad it’s loaded with fabulous nutrition and tastes like you bought it at a deli! It also has one of my favorite varieties of cheese. You’ve simply all got to give this healthy combo a try!

AND, remember our Raspberry Balsamic Dressing?  Well, it goes magically with our Strawberry, Chicken & Kale Salad.  They’re a match made in heaven if I do say so myself!! 🙂 

Trader Joes’s says about Creamy Toscano Cheese soaked in Syrah: 

Creamy Toscano Cheese Soaked in Syrah– begins with a Wisconsin-crafted cheese that seamlessly blends the nutty flavor of an aged Parmesan with the creamy texture of a farmstead Cheddar.  In a twist that’s exclusive to Trader Joe’s, each wheel is soaked in our very own Coastal Syrah.  The wine imparts subtle blackberry and plum jam flavors to the cheese, creating a marriage of flavors that’s destined to make you say “I do,” over and over again.

Miss Nichole from Pure Clean Fitness : 

One of the greatest things about working out is finding that limits are not set in stone, they can be pushed and they can be broken. Weights that seemed impossible one day become liftable. Speeds that seemed a bit insane are now within reach. And workouts that seemed daunting become your bread and butter. This is one of those workouts.

Today we are doing a Tabata style workout with a weighted ball. Tabata is hard, it is supposed to be. You have to learn to embrace the hard, seek after the hard, and you will find that hard is fun. Hard is how we get better. Hard it how we make changes.

 

Quick reminder: Tabata is 20 seconds all out with a 10 second rest for 8 rounds (4 minutes). The 20 seconds is meant to be all out!
