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!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
