Helping you live a healthy life, naturally.
Every time Spring rolls around, I crave salads. I know… salads are kind of a weird thing to crave, and had you told me ten years ago that I’d love them I wouldn’t have believed you. I think the problem was that I wasn’t make the right kinds of salads. They just seemed so darn bland….
So I’ve been thinking of ways to liven up my zoodles (zucchini noodles).
SIDEBAR- I’m obsessed with my new, stainless steel spiralizer, which I switched out from my old plastic one. Don’t get me wrong, it worked just fine, but as soon as I saw a stainless steel version (aka one that doesn’t produce the same amount of environmental waste), I decided to invest in it and give my other to to my SIL whose been looking to purchase one anyway.
Anywho… back to livening up my zoodles. I made a bunch extra, and since I already had a marinara version the other day, I decided to take an adventurous, Mediterranean turn.
Hummus anyone?…
Mmm guacamole.. Honestly, what’s better than super easy guac on a Taco Tuesday kind of night?
This guacamole can be customized to be super creamy (just mash the avocado more), or chunky (leave little chunks instead of mashing all the way through). AND it’ll only take you five minutes to make with 5 ingredients or less!…
Almond Milk
If you haven’t made almond milk yourself yet, you’re missing out! Making it on your own tastes a million times better and fresher and *BONUS*: it’s also not loaded with chemicals, additives, and preservatives! Although, if you have an almond allergy, then it’s totally understandable 🙂
Almond milk is usually a lactose-intolerant, milk-loving person’s dream come true. It’s a great substitute to cow’s milk for anyone who can tolerate almonds, really….
Buckwheat Groats & Carrot Porridge
I love me a warm, ooey-gooey, comforting breakfast. They’re so perfect for mornings where you just want something sweet. But let’s remember, I’m a veggies girl through and through and I will sneak those babies into just about every meal I eat. So when I think about what I want to eat for a healthy breakfast besides the usual eggs (because those are usually my go-to for having a veggie-filled brekky), I have a hard time figuring out how to add more nutrients.
So how do you get vegetables into sweet breakfast foods?!?
