Creamy, crunchy, and packed with protein. The perfect high-volume, low-calorie meal prep! Fresh, creamy, and loaded with crunch - perfect in lettuce wraps, on a pita, or straight from the bowl. For a lower calorie swap, you can 100% just use Greek yogurt, but I love a little bit of mayo for flavor!
