Are you like I was? In the past I was bad about grabbing a snack or a handful of chocolate chips with peanut butter when I was busy throughout the day. Not the best way to keep your girlish figure or rediscover it if it’s gone!<\/p>\n

Here’s a fast, healthy alternative I like to use now… <\/p>\n

Quick and Easy Healthy Taco Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n

I buy those plastic containers of salad at SAMS, Costco or the grocery store. They tend to keep better than the plastic bags. Then one night while I’m cooking dinner, I’ll fry some extra Turkey Burger and add some of my favorite taco seasoning. I let that cool and put it in a plastic bag in my refrigerator.<\/p>\n

Then when I want a quick lunch, I’ll …<\/p>\n

Heat some of the taco meat in the microwave.<\/p>\n

Put some salad mix in a bowl<\/p>\n

Add some diced tomatoes<\/p>\n

Perhaps add some salsa<\/p>\n

A squirt or two of low-fat Ranch dressing (optional)<\/p>\n

and then top it with the taco meat.<\/p>\n

Heck, I even add a little grated cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n

I know the cheese and ranch aren’t “diet”… but I never dieted to lose weight anyway! Just remember to use them in moderation.<\/p>\n
