I can’t believe it’s July already! Summer is already in full swing and I love the longer days and warm nights. Many people use the summer months to get into “tip-top” shape as the wide variety of fresh fruits and veggies makes it easier to eat right. But, maybe you’ve been to a bunch of summer bbq’s and had a few too many cocktails and your beginning to feel like you need to get back on track. So here are some healthy and tasty ideas to start this July off right.
Breakfast: I know this sounds ordinary and not so inventive, but I have to tell you, it’s an all time favorite and so easy! Have a slice of whole wheat toast (I love Ezekiel bread ) with smear of peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice), fresh sliced banana and blueberries for a patriotic breakfast! And if you would prefer to make your own batch of strawberry jam to add to your morning treat, here’s a great healthy recipe for Chia Seed Jam.
Lunch: I never get bored of salads. So, here’s a delicious greek kale salad with avocado. Feel free to mix it up and use spinach instead of kale (or add both!) and I love tuna, shrimp or salmon or chicken (what a great way to use your leftovers)! Click here for the recipe.
Dinner: Everyone loves to grill during the summer. So, opt for chicken and veggies on the grill that way you satisfy your whole crowd! Click here for the recipe.
And what about dessert? Well, I always love a big fresh fruit salad. And while there are plenty of healthyish desserts, aren’t you trying hard to get back on track! Let’s save the dessert topic for another newsletter!
Enjoy this week ahead!
