Caprese Avocado Toast

This is an easy recipe that you can make in less than ten minutes, and it is healthy and delicious. For this recipe it yields two pieces of toast.

Ingredients

1 avocado, lemon juice/lime juice, salt, black pepper (better if it is freshly grounded), 2 slices of sourdough bread toasted (if you prefer another kind of bread you can use this too), 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 cup mozzarella balls, basil, and a balsamic glaze.

Directions

Put the avocado and lemon in a bowl and combine. Some people might want less lemon while others want more. Then add the amount of salt and pepper you prefer. After you have your avocado mixture spread it on the toasted bread.  Then you must cut the cherry tomatoes in halves, and then place them on the toast along with the mozzarella balls and basil. After this your almost done, you can add more salt and pepper if you want it, then add the balsamic dressing glaze on top of the toast for more flavor.

Apple Sandwiches

Apple sandwiches are an easy snack that you can make in less than five minutes that are a cute and scrumptious snack.

Ingredients

The ingredients are based on how many you want to make, but you will need an apple/apples, peanut butter/almond butter, and granola.

Directions

First, cut the core of the apple out of it, and then cut the apple into circle pieces. Next, find two similar size apple circles. After you get two similar sizes add peanut butter and granola on one size of the apple. Then finally put two of the pieces of apple together like a sandwich. This is a quick and very easy snack to make.

Strawberry Pineapple Banana Smoothie

Smoothies are a easy way to have a healthy and tasteful snack especially on a hot day.

Ingredients

1 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup pineapple, 1 banana, 2 cups of orange juice, 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, 1 cup of spinach/kale (optional), 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), and ice

Directions

Smoothies are really easy to be made and there is no specific way to blend them. In my experience I would add the fruit, juice, and yogurt together first and blend that together. Then add the spinach/kale and chia seeds if you want them in your smoothie. Finally, add the ice until the smoothie is at a texture and thickness you want.
