BEAN SALSA

This is the simplest bean salsa you will ever make!  Serve with pita chips, veggies, sweet potato chips...throw it on top of a salad...whatever you want!  OR just get a spoon and dive in!


Mix together 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 3 tablespoons greek yogurt. Then add in:
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion finely diced
1 avocado cut in chunks
2 tomatoes cut in chunks (I take the seeds out so it does not become liquidy)
2 cups frozen corn that is thawed and drained

Mix gently and season with salt and pepper.  ENJOY!!

CREAMY AVOCADO ZOODLES

Use a spiralizer to make zoodles out of 4 zucchini. Then saute them on the stove and add ground pepper (no oil) just a little cooking spray if the pan needs it.  I did it in 4 batches because I wanted to get some nice color on the "pasta"

Then for the sauce...which if you like fettuccine alfredo, this is right up your alley!
In a food processor blend together 1 medium ripe avocado, pepper and salt to taste, 1/4 cup fresh basil, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.  Blend until smooth.

Mix it all together and serve!  You can sprinkle just a little Parmesan cheese on top if you want (like a teaspoon).  Makes 4 servings.

21 Day fix: 1 green, 1 blue.

ENJOY this amazing meal!!

CHOCOLATE BITES

In a blender:

1 avocado
1 banana
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
handful of oats

Once all blended together gradually add coconut flour to the blender to thicken it up.  Once all incorporated and thick, use a cookie scoop to put on a foil lined baking sheet or plate.  Place in freezer and BAM you have chocolate bites!  I store them in the freezer when I want a little treat!

CHOCOLATE AVOCADO COOKIES






































Healthy cookies that are chocolate?  YES!  And
seriously you can not taste the avocado...it is simply for the texture.

1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 medium avocado
1 egg (or 2 egg whites)
few dashes of salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup coconut sugar (or whatever sugar you wish)
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

Blend all ingredients in a blender together, you will have to scrape the sides a few times till a smooth consistency is obtained.  You can then stir in chocolate chips if you want as well!

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until done.  So soft...almost cake like cookies!!  ENJOY!
