Weight Watchers® Friendly Chicken Avocado Salad

Now that the New Year is here, do you have goals to be a better you? Perhaps you want to set aside more time for self-care? Or, maybe you would like to have a better exercise schedule? Maybe you even are looking to eat less calories.
Does that sound familiar to you? To be honest, those 3 things are my personal ambitions for the New Year. I want to be a better me, a more relaxed me, and the best version of myself. Typically, the way I personally find the most success in overall wellness is to eat better.
Eating foods that are wholesome, rich in vitamins, and low in bad fats are key for my body to feel better. However, it is not easy! Let’s face it, if it was we’d all be in perfect shape.
In the past, I have had great success in reaching my goals with Weight Watchers. While there is a great commitment to achieving maximum results with the program, I fell off the boat in the past.
Life just simply got in the way, but this year is going to be different because, well it has to be. Through trial and experience, I have found that the key to eating well is to be prepared. You must have the right kinds of food on-hand and in sight. For me that means having a refrigerator stocked with fruits, veggies, lean meats, and low-fat cheeses.
Why cheese you wonder?
Well, the truth is, I think I could achieve my ultimate body goals if I didn’t love cheese so much. I am a “cheese, please kind” of girl. I love it…alone, in my salads, and on my sandwiches. Cheese just has a way of making everything better. Sadly, most of the kinds I enjoy do not love me back and are high in calories and fat.
While at Stop & Shop, I recently discovered that Weight Watchers has a line of string cheese that I wasn’t aware of.
Did this mean I could enjoy cheese in a guilt-free manor?
YES!
Weight Watchers® Jalapeno Flavor Light String Cheese is mega good!!
Like a kid, I love to peel away the cheese stick and enjoy the little flavorful flairs of cheese. The Jalapeno Flavor features tiny jalapeno and bell pepper bits and is super tasty! I love it alone, or in a meal like the Weight Watchers Friendly Chicken Avocado Salad I am sharing today!
In case you love cheese as much as I do, Weight Watchers string cheese, sticks, singles, shreds, and spreads are all part of their offerings! The string cheese and snack sticks are only 1-2 SmartPoints® per serving!!!

While the Weight Watchers Jalapeno String Cheese is good as a quick and satisfying snack, it can also be used in recipes!
When I am eating wholesome, I depend on colorful and flavorful salads to keep me full. This Weight Watchers Friendly Chicken Avocado Salad is a perfect example! Made with cucumber, tomato, avocado, grilled chicken, cilantro, and lime, this salad becomes, even more, satisfying with a Weight Watchers Jalapeno String Cheese sliced on top.
