This is one of my favorite lunchtime or dinner salads. It comes together so quickly because I generally have pre-cooked sweet potatoes in my fridge ready to go. Earlier in my wisdom journey when my CLBM still had a long way to go, I would typically use Wizzy E Protein Option 1 (garnish chicken amount) for this salad since it involves two carb sources. Adding a full serving of chicken on top of two carbs didn’t work for me back then. Now that I have built back a lot of CLBM, I can include the full serving of chicken along with both carbs and burn it all up! Sometimes, I still use Option 1, just for funsies, though. I’ll put a generous half serving of TH Optimized Collagen in a coffee to have on the side for my extra protein needs or just chug it with a teaspoon of TH ESSENTIAL before my meal to get things over and done with. Check out the Protein Nerd Notes at the bottom of the recipe for other ways to get your extra protein if choosing Option 1.
Sweet Potato, Black Bean, & Chicken Salad
Description
This quick and flavorful salad is a go-to for lunch or dinner, thanks to pre-cooked sweet potatoes. In the past, with lower CLBM, Wizzy E Protein Option 1 (garnish chicken amount) worked best to balance two carb sources. Now, with increased CLBM, a full serving of chicken is easily burned as fuel. Sometimes, Option 1 is still a fun choice, with extra protein from TH Optimized Collagen in coffee or TH ESSENTIAL before meals. See Protein Nerd Notes for more protein-boosting ideas! This recipe is part of the Wisdom Recipe Collection.
This recipe can be used as an E or XO, depending upon the nut butter amount.

Note
Protein Nerd Notes
The 4-6 ounce serving of chicken will provide your full Protein Nerd Level 3 requirements – done deal! That’s Wizzy E Protein Option 2. If you choose Protein Option 1 instead (2 – 3 ounces of chicken) you’ll still need to get the rest of your protein in via another way. Perhaps via a serving of optimized collagen in a coffee or tea on the side or perhaps start your meal with the Side Protein & Fiber Chocolate Milk or the PYY Booster using the extra tablespoon of TH Optimized Plant Protein Powder. Or you could drink a ½ serving of TH ESSENTIAL with water on the side of your meal or chug a half scoop of TH Optimized Collagen plus 1 tsp ESSENTIAL before your meal in a little water and chase with more water.
