How to Make Mango Salsa Chicken Bowls

I love making a huge batch of the mango salsa so we can enjoy it with chips as well. It is a delicious snack that is very nutritious! There are a few ways you can make these bowls. Up until the last minute before making these bowls, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to use grains like quinoa, couscous or brown rice or lettuce. It would be great with both! Use what you feel like or whatever you have on hand.

Also, if you don’t feel like grilling the chicken or are vegetarian, feel free just to use the black beans. That is how we would eat these bowls much of the time as we do not eat a ton of meat. It would be amazing with steak or pork though as well. You can top the bowls with a dressing, like a southwest dressing or whip up a little lime vinaigrette with lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. You can boil your corn on the cob or grill it when you grill the chicken. If you don’t have corn on the cob, frozen corn or canned corn would work well too.

I want to chat about vitamin D. You would think that as a dietitian, my nutrition is perfect but sometimes I need help maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D.* I would imagine this is because I live in Michigan where we don’t get sunlight much of the year. Also, I have been slacking on taking my supplements on a regular basis. 

Vitamin D is not in a ton of foods besides fortified foods and the food it is in like fish and beef liver, I do not eat those foods. Therefore, a supplement is the way to go to help support my vitamin D levels. I started myself on the Terry Naturally Vitamin D3 supplement in 5000 IU. Vitamin D supports strong bones and the immune system.* 

Vitamin D is important for your bones and teeth to utilize and process calcium and phosphorus as it is absorbed in the intestines. Clinical trials also show that optimal levels of vitamin D are important for healthy brain function. I definitely want to support good mental health so I’m working on increasing my vitamin D levels.*
