Simple Girl Recipe + Product Giveaway!

First things first, congrats to Paige C for winning my Mighty Nut Giveaway!

In my quest to clean-up my diet and nutrition, I’m always on the look out for new healthy brands. I stumbled across Simple Girl on Instagram and knew I had to visit their website for additional information.

Here is additional information about the company:


“We created our line for those people looking for clean, healthy ingredient lists as their top priority, and we are so excited to introduce you to our amazing new line of salad dressings and BBQ sauces that are not only unbelievably delicious and good for you but perfect for any diet or lifestyle! Our salad dressings, BBQ sauces, and spices are one of a kind! We are proud to have created a beautiful formula from natural ingredients that are:Gluten Free, Vegan, 0 Fat, 0 Carbs, 3 Calories or less, 3 g or less of Sugar!”



Sounds good right?! I reached out to Simple Girl and they agreed to send me a few products to try. I am super excited! Here are the items I received:

Pretty packaging!
I received Carolina Style BBQ Sauce,
Citrus Ginger Dressing/Marinade and Sweet Mustard
and Sweet Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
The first items I tried were the packets of salad dressings. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of those since I pretty much inhaled them during my lunch break, but I’m happy to report both were very good. For reference, my salad consisted of romaine and spinach, cucumbers, and grilled chicken. I did prefer the sweet vinaigrette over the sweet mustard, as I felt the sweet mustard may work better as a marinade.

A few days later I whipped up a quick and easy dinner using shrimp, spinach, cauliflower rice and the Carolina Style BBQ sauce. Again, it was delicious. What I like most about the BBQ sauce is that it has a sweet and smoky flavor. I also love that it has no artificial flavors, 0 grams of sugar and only 5 calories per serving – score!

I’m not the best cook, and I’m certainly not a food blogger,
but this was delicious!
If you would like to recreate this at home, here is the recipe!
