Apple Cider Vinegar is awesome because it has so many diverse purposes. It can help relieve constipation, heartburn, nausea, sunburn, and sinus pressure. In addition, it can act as a strengthener and conditioner for hair, deodorizer, and much more! Give it a try, but make sure it is “in the raw”!

Chobani Ranch Veggie Dip! 
Dipping your veggies into ranch can seem very healthy but most ranch dips are around 150 calories for two tbsp. 
Mixing your ranch seasoning in Chobani yogurt (Or any other plain Greek yogurt) gives you protein and is around 20 calories for 2 tbsp!

Here is a super yummy clean recipe to try today!



Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Chicken
4 (6 oz) chicken boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 Tbsp lime zest
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
1 1/2 tsp honey
1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salsa
1 1/2 medium avocados (ripe but semi-firm), diced
2 medium Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion, rinsed under cool water to remove harsh bite
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Directions
Place chicken on a cutting board, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and pound thicker parts of chicken to an even thickness. Transfer chicken to a gallon size resealable plastic bag.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, cilantro, 3 cloves minced garlic and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Pour marinade mixture over chicken in bag. Seal bag while pressing air out, then rub marinade over chicken. Allow to rest in refrigerator 2 - 4 hours (rotating bag to opposite side and moving chicken around halfway through if possible to ensure it's evenly marinating).
Preheat a grill over medium-high heat (to about 425 - 450 degrees). Brush grill grates lightly with oil then grill chicken until center registers 160 - 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and let rest 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl toss together avocado, tomato, onion, garlic and lime and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon a generous amount over chicken and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
