Quicker Than Takeout: A Satisfying Chicken, Cashew, and Lime Stir-Fry

I was looking for a delicious new recipe to try using cashews, when I came across this recipe over at Thrive Market. A stir-fry is the perfect go-to meal when evenings are busy.  Stir-frys come together easily and a super quick to cook.  This recipe even tastes better the second day so you might want to think about making a double batch so you have leftovers for lunch the next day.  This recipe originally appeared over at Thrive Market.  I am sharing this recipe with permission as part of Thrive Market’s Partnership Program.  It was originally published January 11, 2016 by Merce Muse.  The post includes affiliate links.

And……..make sure you check out the special offer at the end to find out how you can get Thrive Market Cashews for free.  I hope you are enjoying these special monthly offers.  Leave me a comment and let me know if you have tried Thrive Market and if you enjoy these articles from Thrive Market.


 

 

Lime and chile add freshness to a light stir-fry that comes together in just 10 minutes—perfect for a busy weeknight.

 

Cashew-Chicken Stir-Fry

Yield: 1 serving
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced in 2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 chile pepper, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cup snow peas
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons roasted cashews

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Salt sliced chicken breast and throw into skillet along with minced garlic. Coat with the hot oil and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add chile pepper and snow peas and sauté until chicken is cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Turn off heat and stir in lime juice and cashew nuts. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.

Thrive Market Organic Raw Cashews

If you haven’t tasted Thrive Market Organic Raw Cashews, you’re in for a treat. These rich, creamy nuts taste just as good on their own as they do in trail mix. Since they’re certified organic, non-GMO, and never processed with preservatives, you’ll know you’re getting premium quality. Cashews also make an energizing snack, since they’re full of healthy fats and high in protein. Grab yours free now by clicking here for all of the details.  You are going to love Thrive Market!

🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officiall 🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officially a teenager! 🎉

13 years ago, I hit publish on my very first blog post. Back then, my kids were still young, and I was deep in the “mom life” of packing lunches, rushing to practices, and trying to figure out how to keep real food on the table without losing my mind. 🍎🥦

Fast forward to today, and here I am—a grandmother! 👵💖 Life looks a little different now, but the heart of this community hasn’t changed. It’s still about juggling the busyness of life, making space for the people we love, and finding joy in real food (and real moments).

I never imagined that this little corner of the internet would become such a special part of my life for over a decade. Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just found me recently. You are the reason this space is still going strong. 💕

Here’s to 13 years of memories, lessons, recipes, and laughter… and to many more ahead! 🥂

Drop me a comment and tell me how long you’ve been hanging out here—I’d love to know!
Just a little reminder for your day… you really Just a little reminder for your day… you really are amazing! 💚 Keep juggling life, real food, and all the little moments that make you, YOU.
✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨ Young danc ✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨
Young dancers need more than sparkly costumes and strong muscles—they need the right fuel to stay focused and energized all class long. 💃🥗

Balanced meals with carbs + protein + healthy fats are the secret to avoiding mid-class crashes and powering through those long practices. And don’t forget water—hydration is just as important as the food they eat! 💧

👉 In Part 1 of my new series on Fueling Young Dancers with Real Food, I’m sharing simple tips and snack ideas to help dancers shine at the studio.

What’s your dancer’s favorite pre-class snack? 🍎🥜
