Creamy Spinach Chicken Salad



Recommended Posts

GEORGIA girl

This is awesome I am making it alot and even my youngest loves it.

Now I hate spinach but heard so much about this I thought I would give it a try. Thumbs up it is fabulous and low carb and low cal...

I'm really glad you like it. I just started eating low carb again and I love the fact that is low calorie AND low carb. I made a turkey wrap with the spinach dip and half of a low carb tortilla yesterday and it was very good. Good luck to you!

Another new (to me) use for it...I spooned it over a salmon steak - added colour to the presentation, and a different taste (pumped up with lemon juice)

We were in Sam's and they made chicken salad with reduced fat and ff ranch dressing (just enough to moisten the chicken) then added some fresh cracked black pepper. It was delicious! I haven't been banded yet but I'm trying to come up with some recipes and I think this one and the spinach dip one will be useful.

For a low calorie, low fat dish my whole family loves is canned chicken with its broth, ff cream of chicken Soup, and drained mixed veggies. It makes a great chicken pot pie dinner. I put biscuits on theirs and eat mine without the biscuits. It's soft and very comforting. Will something like this work with the band for regular food?

I don't know how I come up with some of this stuff, lol! I guess I'm just always looking for easy, practical things to do that's different. I'm crazy about spinach dips (with chips :frown:) and I was trying to find a way to enjoy the taste of it (and make it filling), without the carbs.

I never really got into canned chicken pre-band, but I just love it now. It's tasty and tender enough to go down well. I am always trying new things with canned chicken. The same ol' chicken salad gets boring to me.

Onions, celery, or whatever you like in chicken salad could be added to bump up the flavor even more too! I added some chopped walnuts to mine the other day, and it was delicious! My recipes are hardly ever the same from one time to the next, lol!

Hee hee! We all love to eat! That's we're we all get most of our recipes LOL!!! :thumbs_up: TFS!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
