Healthy Bites: Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup

I was NOT expecting to love today's Healthy Bites meal idea as much as I did. If you're a fan of the Roasted Tomato & Basil Bisque at Mimi's Cafe, you'll LOVE this delicious Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper soup from Trader Joe's! It has a tiny little bite to it, and I topped mine with some freshly ground pepper for even more heat. It. Was. Delish!

I enjoyed 1/2 cup of white grapes and a large bottle of water along with my soup. Check out this healthy breakdown!

Healthy Bites: Chicken Salad Sandwich

Today's Healthy Bites post can be used for lunch or dinner -- whatever your fancy! I really love this meal and it has been my go-to lunch for several days over the past week. Check it out!

1 slice Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat Bread

Six Bread & Butter Pickle Chips, diced

1/4 cup Light Mayonnaise

1 can Chicken Breast

This is my super simple chicken salad recipe. Drain the canned chicken, add the diced pickles, mayonnaise and some pepper and VOILA! It's done! And this makes enough for at least 5 half-sandwiches. I serve it on Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat bread (thanks for the recommendation, 100daysofrealfood.com) so I only make 1/2 sandwich for a meal... those whole grains keep you full! I eat this sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or vegetables and a big ol' glass of water.

It's divine!!

Now, are you ready for the best part? Check it out!!!

Um, only 286 calories? I just burned that plus 15 more by walking on a treadmill for 45 minutes. Sweet! And notice we're looking at less than 5g of fat and over 16g protein!

Good stuff!
