This sounds delicious!
awesome
I did not expect that much protein.
Is it just the chicken, cottage cheese, and nutritional yeast? That's freaking awesome!
Looks so good!
I literally made this 30minutes before you posted. I finished eating 2 servings all alone. THE BEST SALAD I'VE EVER EATEN. PERIOD. that sauce was so good I was licking the blades on the blender. I will definitely be making it again.
Thatās wild macros šš¼
GOATED AS ALWAYS BRO
Inspired my dinner tonight, thanks!
Can you do a version with out the bell peppers, I literally died when you said yellow peppers and then red. š
Thanks for the recipe man
Ist the nutritional yeast mandatory?
You can eat cold right even the chicken?
What brand pasta?
Thank you! š
Do you need to peel off the red pepper skin to avoid the burnt parts or do you use all of it?
Good looking meal brother much appreciated
This recipe is a banger.
I tuned the sauce with a bit of tomato paste and basil and it was fucking tasty.
Instead of regular pasta, I used red lentil fusili which has 26g of protein per 100g
Also swapped the raw peppers for green onion and cucumber.
I had the biggest bowl of food since I'm loosing weight, with great macros.
I'm definitely making it any other week
Dinner for tonightšš½ Thank you my manšš½šÆ
Looks fantastic, I'll be making this tomorrow. I inputted the exact ingredients that I'll be using into my calorie counting app and it came out to 515 calories per serving so it's pretty spot on. I think my extra is coming from the feta not being fat free and slightly more chicken but these calories I'm perfectly happy with.
What pasta are you using to get these macros?
I made the BLT pasta salad tonight from your video with the avodado, cilantro and yogurt sauce and it was bomb. Gonna try this one next
