Man Approved Healthy Living Recipe - Grilled Chicken Mango Flatbread with Allergy Substitutions

You know, one of the hardest tasks I find to having a healthy lifestyle or just any particular lifestyle, is living it while living with people that don't share in it.

For me I avoid dairy, gluten, soy, and have a general dislike of meat. I also attempt to be gmo free, organic, and dye/additive free....while living with a man that has the taste buds of, well, a typical man.

My husband loves meat, cheese, and bread. Luckily he doesn't have a sweet tooth, but he does have zero appetite for vegetables, which is our hurdle. So, my solution; I just take his likes and I edit them a little, always leaving room for substitutions that are easy for me! 

Yes, this lifestyle is asking a lot of anyone, especially children, guys, and anyone that still scoffs at today's health trends. 

Not everyone cares to be picky in what they eat or buy...you know those that say, "since when did bread kill anyone" or "in my day we drank straight from the cow." Well, our soil is different today, our meat sources eat and live through much different circumstances, and our immune systems don't have the same natural defenses because our soil is depleted of vitamins and minerals, and our pollution is a whole new mess ....and well, GMO.

So how do I not cook multiple meals and shop for each person that has to eat in my house?

Easy! I stick to basics, which by the way is SO much easier in the summer when local produce is easily accessible. You can't try to get too fancy, and I add a little at a time as taste buds change. It was getting too inventive and specialized that had me defeated and hurting my own diet.

Here is our latest successful full on veggie dinner, husband approved! I hope you enjoy, and look forward to more man and diet friendly recipes! 

For my dish I just removed the flat bread.

Grilled Chicken Mango Flatbread

One grilled chicken breast seasoned with garlic, onion, pepper, and cumin

Thinly sliced mango

Tomato thinly sliced

Avocado thinly sliced

Green pepper thinly sliced

Baby spinach

Shredded red cabbage

Top Greek flatbread or whole wheat tortilla, or even corn tortilla with choice of:

Lime juice

Cream cheese

Ranch dressing

Apple cider vinegar (good with the lime juice!)

If you're not short on time smash the avocado, add lime juice, and a little pepper and salt and you have your dressing.

These are all items I have chopped in containers in advance and just grab from the fridge! I do all the chopping during a meal when I first use these ingredients, I don't even carve out a "prep day." Ain't nobody got time for that!
