MACROS: 44g p / 60g c / 7g f ; 476 cals
Ingredients:
8 oz protein pasta
10 oz shredded chicken
1 cup cottage cheese; blended
1.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 bag frozen corn; cooked
1 lime; juice/lime zest
1/4 diced jalapeño
3 heaping tsp Trader Joe’s Elote seasoning
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4th teaspoon chili powder
dash of salt & pepper
1/3 cup reduced fat feta cheese
a few sprigs of cilantro, chopped
Directions:
Prep your pasta according to package and drain. Steam your corn in the bag (you can also use canned corn!) and chop up your jalapeno and cilantro.
In a large bowl, combine all of your seasonings, lime juice and lime zest, blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cilantro, diced jalapeno, corn, shredded chicken, and cooked pasta. For the chicken, I used pre-shredded rotisserie chicken.
Mix well until pasta is completely coated in dressing and seasonings. Divide equally into containers (you can weigh out the total pasta and then divide by 4 to get the weight of your equal portions and add into air tight meal prep containers. These are the meal prep containers I like to use!
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
