On-the-go protein!

I'm sure that I am not the only mom being pulled in every direction. Between sports, ballet, school obligations, work, working out...it can get hard to get those healthy meals in there! But I have discovered a secret that has really helped me this week. Grilled chicken breasts! I grilled a whole pack of them 2 days ago, and then put them in the fridge. Yesterday I warmed one with some steamer bag broccoli, 10 minute boil-in-bag brown rice, and 2 tablespoons of light teriyaki sauce. Who needs take-out!? Today I warmed, sliced it and put it in a wrap with one of my FAVORITE "approved" condiments, Mango Salsa! Oh...my...yumminess!!! So, when you have time, grill some protein up in a big batch, and then you can have "on-the-go protein" at your fingertips too, without blowing your calories or your budget!

Here's my wrap, this time with a flour tortilla, but only cause I need to pick up some more wheat ones. I would not normally eat the white ones, but still, 2 of these was only 400 calories!!!
