Are you like me? As soon as warm weather hits, I want to be outside as much as possible. Hiking, running, swimming, biking, and, of course, eating outside. We’ve been eating dinner outside as often as possible lately. (We have to take advantage of the nice weather now before we get driven away by mosquitos!)

Our meals reflect the warmer weather, too! No more heavy comfort food. Light, fresh meals have taken over our menus!

Thanks to some help from Eat Smart, we can have a fresh meal and get it on the table in a hurry! We just recently started using their products and love all of the different salad kits they have to offer. Often we mix one up to go with our favorite grilled meat (like this grilled citrus chicken!) for a healthy, quick and easy weeknight meal!

They are the first brand within their category to make the commitment to clean ingredients and labeling, with plans for all products to contain a “100% Clean Label” by the end of 2018. Eat Smart’s easy-to-understand labels will list recognizable ingredients that consumers can feel good about putting in their bodies and serving to their families.

This gives us healthy options that help us keep ourselves and our family healthy and on track with our fitness and wellness goals!

Eat Smart Salad Shake Ups

We used the Strawberry Harvest Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kit (it contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives) to pair with our grilled citrus chicken. It’s a blend of seven superfoods (including crispy quinoa and almonds!), feta, and an amazing strawberry vinaigrette! We mixed in some sliced strawberries and mandarin orange slices for an extra burst of color and flavor.

(Along with the gourmet vegetable salad kits, they also make these super convenient Salad Shake Ups that let you mix up the salads in the bowl and are perfect for taking with you for a meal on-the-go!)

Topping off the strawberry salad, is an easy grilled citrus chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breast sits in an easy marinade of fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and pepper to soak up flavor and then is tossed on the grill.

The best part of the marinade is that you can put the chicken in the marinade before you head out the door to work and pull it back out for dinner that evening. Or, you can put it in the marinade an hour before you plan on grilling it, and you’ll still get great flavor!

Here’s to easy, healthy summers!
