Market Mondays Week 4

Had a great shopping trip yesterday at the market!

I spent my usual $30 and got lots of goodies to use in smoothies, snacks and salads for the week.

Apples-with nut butters, alone, in smoothies

Peaches-salads, smoothies and in Greek yogurt, alone

Tiny black raspberries-salads, smoothies and in Greek yogurt

Celery-salads and to put nut butters on

onions-potato salad

Potatoes-baby reds for roasting or potato salad

Spicy honey brown mustard-in potato salad with Greek yogurt, dip for pretzels, on turkey sandwiches

red leaf lettuce-salad and smoothies

Orange pepper-on salads and for dip

Beet chips-alone or with dip or Greek yogurt

Spinach dip-on grilled chicken or with veggies or chips

and…some red, white and blue candy corn for Max (don’t ask…)

Anyway, I have made a delicious chicken salad, a banana and avocado smoothie and a potato salad so far! Above I listed different things you can make to eat with the different ingredients, I hope you can use some of the ideas I listed 🙂

Here is the Chicken Salad recipe:

Lettuce, Grilled chicken, half of a peach cubed, a handful of raspberries, 2 tsp crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup cucumber toss with 2 tsp. dressing or olive oil and vinegar.

Potato Salad recipe:

15 small baby red potatoes boiled for 15 minutes and cubed into halves or quarters

2 celery sticks chopped

1 small Spanish onion chopped

3 tsp spicy honey mustard

2 heaping tbsp plain Greek yogurt

2 tsp oil of your choice

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Season with salt, pepper, basil & oregano

Mix all together and chill for several hours

Banana & Avocado protein smoothie:

1 ripe banana

1/2 ripe avocado

1/2 c milk of your choice

2 tsp ground flaxseeds, hemp seeds or chia seeds

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

3 to 4 ice cubes-blend

Enjoy!! I hope from reading my blog you realize that it isn’t hard and it isn’t expensive to eat healthy and make balanced meals for you and your family! xoxo
