Happy Medium — Inspiration That Fits

Curry Chicken Wrap

For lunch this week, I made a wrap inspired by my favorite menu item at Dandelion Communitea. This isn't a vegetarian dish, but you can easily make it one by substituting chicken for walnuts or sliced almonds. Hope you like it!

Curry Chicken Wrap (makes 1 serving)

Ingredients

• 1 giant whole wheat wrap
• 2 Perdue Simply Smart chicken strips
• 1/2 small apple, chopped, or 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 banana, sliced
• 1 small handful argula
• 1 small handful shredded carrots
• Curry dressing (see recipe below)

Curry Dressing

• 2 tbsp lite sour cream
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/8 tsp curry powder

Directions

• Combine dressing ingredients & stir together in a small bowl
• Heat chicken per package directions (about 1 min in the microwave) and cut into small pieces
• MIx chicken, apple, banana, and dressing
• Top wrap with arugula, carrots, and chicken/apple/banana/dressing mixture

Health Month Results

Thanks to February being a short month and having a little bit of timing luck, I managed to finish my Health Month with 1 life point! This means great success and time for a pedicure! Unfortunately, it's way too cold to even think about that right now. I'm excited for Spring.

Fake Chai Tea Latte

It's always hard to get back into the swing of things after a holiday weekend, and the last two days have been no exception. Aside from being in denial about finishing a project at work, PMS has arrived (sorry male readers), and today is my wedding anniversary. I am distracted.

Also, pie withdrawals.

Enter Chai Tea Latte, or really, Fake Chai Tea Latte. It's the only thing chasing away my sugar cravings and keeping me sane right now.

Ingredients

• One cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• One chai tea bag
• Two packets sweetener (I'm using Truvia natural stevia sweetener)
• Dash of cinnamon

Directions

• Microwave milk with sweetener for one minute. Don't add water, and don't add the sweetener after you've already heated the milk. It won't dissolve the right way.
• Steep tea bag
• Top with cinnamon

Uplift everybody and uplift yourself.

Not quite the real thing, but pretty close.
