Ingredients
Serves: Prep: 10min |Cook: 4min |Total: 14min
1pound chicken tenders
salt
ground black pepper
1/3 cup prepared Buffalo wing sauce
4 ribs celery, cut into sticks
4 carrots, cut into sticks
2 kirby cucumbers, cut into spears
1/3 cup fat-free ranch dressing
Directions
1. Season the chicken tenders to taste with salt and pepper.
2.Coat a ridged grill pan with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat, or heat an electric countertop griller. Grill the chicken, turning once, about 4 minutes, or until browned and no longer pink in the thickest part. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the Buffalo sauce.
3. Place the chicken on a platter with the celery, carrots, cucumbers, and the ranch dressing for dipping. Serve with a good supply of wooden picks.

Found a site with a topic on using protein and an example to improve your protein shake, it sounds yummy!
http://medical-wiki.com/articles/the-best-protein-shakes-for-weight-loss/
*Get a good quality protein powder. Whey is considered one of the best protein powders in the market. However, make sure to buy the specific Whey product that is designed to lose weight. If you are vegan or have a lighter budget, you can replace protein powder with Soy and Rice protein.
*Select a liquid base. It can be plain water, milk, fruit-juice, Soy milk, etc.
*Get some fruit to add fibers to your protein shake. It keeps you full for longer period of time and slows down the digestion process. Ultimately it results in less calorie-consumption during the day.
*Mix these components together, and add coconut oil to it. Coconut oil has medium chain fatty acids that crank up the body’s metabolism. You can also just throw in some shredded coconut.
*Add yogurt to this mixture. Yogurt is known for not only for its rich protein source, but also is low on glycemic index and contains calcium that facilitates fat loss.
*Blend this mixture well and drink your home-made protein shake for weight loss.0 -
