Hi friends! I hope you’re all enjoying the heat of the summer and eating well. Summer meals for me usually look light, with lots of cold pasta or chickpea salads, refreshing leafy salads, and summer rolls. My usual oats are always my go-to breakfast but I also enjoy banana nice cream bowls with granola and fruit and Greek yogurt bowls. All easy easy. And you know I am enjoying all the summer treats like homemade strawberry shortcake, ice cream, and s’mores nights because *balance* is beautiful and I live for summer desserts.

I simply make this recipe and shape into one big giant cookie then air fry for about 10 min or so.Dinner of mashed potatoes, asparagus, salad, rosemary butter beans, and balsamic tofu.Creamy blended oats with strawberries, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and drizzle of maple syrup. I like to make my oats with soy milk for an extra protein boost.Rice cake snack topped with buffalo chickpea salad, avocado, and cashew ranch dressing.Chickpea oat pancakes with blueberry compote.More buffalo chickpea salad on a GF everything bagel thin (O’Doughs is the brand), red cabbage, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cashew ranch.Living for summer rolls!!
