Stir fry recipes are awesome because you can toss in as little or as many veggies as you want. We kept this stir fry fast and simple since I was really wanting asparagus.

Asparagus is one of those foods that are a pain to buy in the store. You need to clean and cut the asparagus and depending on the season, you might get woody asparagus. Nothing ruins a meal faster than that!

In steps Thrive Life asparagus! It's washed, chopped, and ready to go! It also comes in smaller spears which is something I personally love. With Thrive Life asparagus there's no more throwing away wilted or moldy spears. You've been there, right? I know I have and it's never a happy time. Thrive's asparagus is freeze dried fresh and lasts up to a year once the can is open.

I chose Thrive's seasoned chicken slices for this recipe. They are all white meat with a little salt added. This chicken is cooked, sliced and ready for you and there's no need to defrost frozen chicken. Just add to some water or toss in a recipe like I did to refresh (rehydrate).
