Sweet Kale & Chicken Salad

This Sweet Kale and Chicken Salad is as vibrant, nutritious, and delicious as it looks! I have made this as easy as it can possibly be for you to meal prep and you will more than likely thank me later! It consists of pre-packaged chopped salad mix with toppings and dressing, and Realgood Food Co Lightly Breaded Chicken Strips. It has never been easier to get all the fresh nutrients in your meal combined with a fantastic amount of protein. This is the perfect meal if you are trying to lose body fat, or in helping you to fill your plate with more nutritious foods to live a healthier lifestyle. What is even better, is it tastes amazing!

I understand not all of my readers will have a Costco nearby, or will even be able to purchase this 2pk of this specific kind of salad mix. That is why I will put every ingredient in this particular salad mix so you can also build it on your own if need be! Or you can use any chopped Kale salad mixes you find at the store to substitute for it! It will taste just as good I’m sure! 

Here are the ingredients in the Sweet Kale Chopped Salad Kit from Costco:

7 superfoods: broccoli stalk, cabbage, kale, chicory, brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds
Poppyseed dressing
2 – 14 oz bags
I use both of the bags to make 5 meal preps for Monday through Friday lunches.

This salad kit is also:
Gluten free
Triple washed
Good source of fiber
No colors, flavors, preservatives, and sweeteners from artificial sources
No high fructose corn syrup
Keep refrigerated

Realgood Food Co’s Lightly Breaded Chicken Strips are made from boneless chicken breast’s with rib meat. They are gluten-free and grain-free and contain 23 grams of protein per serving. The breading has a crispy texture and a savory flavor, which is so yummy! These chicken strips are free from artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives, which makes them a healthier option when compared to other frozen chicken strips. They are so easy to prepare and can be baked in the oven or cooked in the air fryer. These chicken strips are perfect for a quick and delicious meal and are an excellent source of protein!

What makes a super food salad better than just chopping up some lettuce? Super food salad mixes incorporate a variety of nutrient-dense foods into your diet in a very easy and convenient way. These mixes typically include ingredients such as kale, spinach, cabbage, brocolli stalk, nuts, and seeds, which are all considered superfoods due to their high nutrient content. By consuming super food salads, you can benefit from the increased intake of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, which can support overall health. Additionally, superfood salads can be a tasty and satisfying way to enjoy a nutrient-packed meal while also able to help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of different types of chronic diseases.
