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
