Mango Avocado Salsa

One of my favorite summer time foods…Mango Avocado salsa. It is so yum and light and refreshing! (Look for very ripe mangoes, at least partially red exterior and a little squishy)

Mango Avocado Salsa

Delicious and refreshing salsa, pairs well with lime tortilla chips

  • 3 Mangoes – peeled and chopped (ripe works best)
  • 2 Avocados – peeled and chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tsp cilantro
  • 1 squeeze of lime juice
  • 1 pinch salt

  1. Peel and chop mangoes and avocados. Mix together and stir in honey, salt, and lime juice. Top with Cilantro

I don’t typically measure ingredients when I make a recipe – I prefer to go by taste, so you might want to make some adjustments to the honey and cilantro to meet your taste buds!

Pair this with lime flavored tortilla chips and you will be begging for a Margarita and a beach!

Chicken protein bowls

I am loving the ability to make lunch while working from home. I have a new favorite that’s full of protein and fiber, so it keeps me full.

It is a simple recipe, quick and easy to make, and tastes delicious!

Ingredients:

  • Black beans
  • Brown rice
  • Avocado
  • Grilled chicken
  • Lime juice
  • Cilantro

Tips:

Tyson Grilled and Ready Chicken Breasts are an easy swap if you don’t have time to make fresh chicken.

If using canned black beans, rinse them first to reduce sodium.

A small squeeze of lime juice is all you need to give it some flavor.

Add tomatoes, greek yogurt, or garbanzo beans to mix things up.

One Protein bars

Protein bars are my go to snack when I am hungry on the run. They are easy to throw in your car or purse and have on hand. While they are not as good as fresh fruit or veggies, they are better than candy or chips.

One Protein bars have become my new favorite. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious they are and will keep you full with 20 grams of protein and not a lot of sugar.

Fooducate gives them a B+ which is the highest score possible for protein bars.

Birthday cake is my fav, chocolate chip cookie dough is my 2nd fav.

They are gluten free, but do contain dairy so read the label if you are on a specific diet.

Happy snacking!
