Avocado Banana Berry Smoothie

I love eating avocados since they are delicious and a healthy fat. I changed up my morning smoothie routine this week by trying an avocado smoothie. Here was my recipe: Ingredients: 1 small avocado 1 cup frozen berry mixture (or fresh) 1/2 cucumber 1 small-medium banana 12 oz of almond milk The banana and frozen berries helped to sweeten up the drink. If you don’t use frozen berries, you might want to add ice. Enjoy!

Roasted Kale Sprout, Broccoli with Avocado Toss in my Kitchen

I came across Kale Sprouts while shopping at Trader Joes and decided to give them a try in the oven. They came out amazing! Here was my recipe. Kale Sprouts Preheat oven to 425 degrees Toss Kale Sprouts in 2 table spoons olive oil with salt and pepper. *I used to decorate my roasted vegetables with a lot of different seasonings (garlic powder, onion, lemon pepper, cayenne), but I’ve learned too much seasoning can drown out the roasted flavor that I like so much. Now I keep it simple. Once tossed and coated, place in a single layer on a baking pan. Bake for in the oven for 10 minutes or until the edges of the sprouts become crispy.
