2 great summer recipes, I am back to getting Fit and sharing my healthy recipes

Ok,

so it has been months since I or anyone else has shared a recipe they enjoy, especially a healthy one so I am back at it.  My goal is to continue to lose the weight and get healthy while we all continue to share our favorite healthy and some not so healthy recipes.

So here are the first 2:

Chinease Chicken Salad

2 versions to this recipe, here is the original.

1.2 cup fat free mayo
1 tbsp soy sauce (reduced sodium)
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 lb. cooked chicken, shredded about 3 cups
1/2 c. snow peas cut in half
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced sweet red bell pepper
1/2 cup scallions, sliced
4 pieces of bibb lettuce

whisk together mayo, soy and ginger. 

mix remaining ingredients (minus lettuce) together, then mix in dressing, serve over lettuce

serves 4, 4 ww points

version 2 - I do not like Fat free mayo so I replaced that with fat free greek yogurt, it was great and same points

Here is the next recipe that I am in love with.  Joey helped.  The original called for 1/4 cup sugar and it was too sweet so I have played with it and an 1/8 cup is perfect.  add additional sugar if needed and strawberries are not sweet enough.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream - no ice cream maker needed

1 lb fresh strawberries (frozen) or 1 lb. frozen strawberries

1 c. fat free greek yogurt
1/8 c. sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
strawberries for garnich

1.  in a food processor with the knife blade, puree 1 cup of berries til finely chopped. transfer to a metal bowl, preferably one that has been in the freezer chiiling for an hr or more.

2.  in the food processor, puree yogurt, sugar, vanilla, until smooth.  pour into metal bowl and mix well.  cover and freeze for 1 hour, until firm but not hard.

Joey loved helping with the ice cream, what a great activity and then a treat to eat with your kids while teaching them to be healthy.
