Two of my most favorite things are avocado and cucumber, especially in the summer. Cucumbers are so refreshing. They contain a lot of water which will help to keep you hydrated and they taste good so many different ways.
This week, I was searching some blogs for recipes and came across and Avocado Cucumber Smish Smash from Kristen, so obviously I had to try it out! Check out her website for the full recipe, but I will tell you that it only contains 4 ingredients!
It is so simple, refreshing and delicious! You definitely want to give it a try.
I used a whole cucumber and 1 avocado for mine and made a meal out of it on top of a sprouted wheat bagel.
It was really good.
Back up to breakfast…
Thursday night I prepped some overnight oats to enjoy Friday morning and placed them into the fridge to ‘sleep’.
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup yogurt (i used banana mango!)
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 sliced banana
I mixed everything up and let it sit in the fridge overnight. When I was ready for breakfast, I pulled out a delicious bowl of cold oats.
Topped with a super ripe champagne mango and homemade chai granola.
Chia seeds are a miracle worker…they make the overnight oats! It was great and really filling.
Dinnertime rolled around and I was ready for some BBQ-ing! It is perfect BBQ weather today, so we were psyched.
Apps – Hummus, Salsa and Chips
Has anyone tried these chips from TJ’s? They are great!
And, the main course!
Wild Rice Waldorf Salad, Green Salad with CSA lettuce and honey balsamic dressing and a veggie burger for me!
Lots of good stuff. I love Friday night’s at home!
