Healthy & Happy BBQ

Tomorrow is July 4th which is pretty much synonymous with barbecuing. I am going on vacation in 2 weeks {wahoo!} so I don’t want to stuff my face with cheeseburgers and pasta-salad drenched in mayo.  You can easily have a healthy AND happy BBQ by substituting in some healthier options. Here are some of the things I will be eating tomorrow!

Black Bean Burger W/ Chipotle ‘Mayo.’ Find the recipe HERE.

This veggie burger tastes amazing, and the ‘mayo’ is actually made with Vegenaise. Win-win.

Quinoa Salad. Find the recipe HERE.

Reap all of the health benefits that quinoa offers, and enjoy this light dish covered in veggies! This is a great replacement for that old pasta salad.

Kale Chips.  Find the recipe HERE.

Bye-bye greasy potato chips and hello to nutrient filled and delicious kale chips.  They are especially good when topped with fresh salsa.

Sugar-free Strawberry Sorbet. Find the recipe HERE.

Ditch the cake and ice cream and indulge in some fresh strawberry sorbet.  All the flavor, no guilt.

Baked Avocado Fries. Find the recipe HERE.

Have a craving for crunchy french fries? Forget about those and feast on some crunchy avocado ‘fries’ that are baked to a crisp.
