Ingredients
-
3 cup Cabbage, napa
1 cup Snap peas
180 gram(s) Bell Pepper, fresh yellow
1.50 cup Lacinto (Dino) Kale
3 serving Onion, White/Red, Fresh (1 Slice- Large 1/4")
2 serving Cucumber, Fresh (1 Cup Sliced)
1 serving Hass Avocado Fresh (1/2 of Avocado)
1 cup Fresh Express Leafy Green Romaine
45 gram Bacon 2 slices
4 oz Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breast
Tips
Use prepared chopped kale and Napa cabbage if available to save time. The kale and Napa cabbage should be rubbed between hands to minimize gaseous effects. Avoid dressing with dairy as it will compromise absorption of nutrients. I prefer Light House Sesame Ginger Dressing. 2 slices of bacon equal 15 grams, lack of a better option I listed the 6 slices as 45 grams.
