Summer Recipes

One of my favorite things about summer are all the good food coming into season.

I am looking forward to going home next week for a visit and getting a taste of some of my favorites.
1 // Grilled corn, lime and cotija cheese make the perfect summer bbq dish.

2 // I love making my own granola. It's even better when I can top my morning granola with fresh summer berries.

3 // I have never had a watermelon salad this fancy, but I do love the watermelon, avocado and heirloom tomato combo.

4 // This recipe would be great with spinach or kale. Love the grilled ribbon veggies on top.

5 // My ultimate summer go-to is a green smoothie. My favorite combo is spinach, frozen bananas, mango and almond milk.

Here is my round up of recipe favorites from last summer.

    Big YES to fresh corn (nothing like it!) and I cannot get enough kale salads these days. You're going to be eating well I think :)

    I love almond milk in smoothies! I just discovered a green smoothie mix that comes in a powder form by amazing grass called green superfood cacao infusion. I blend it with almond milk a banana peanut butter and a bit of dark chocolate. It gives me soo much energy I've been able to almost cut out coffee completely. (Which is a big deal for me) lol XO
