If you enjoy Taco Tuesday or a night out at your local Mexican restaurant, then this Healthy Eats is a must make. Of course it’s not chips and salsa, but for GOOD FOR YOU, it’s pretty tasty. Creating the Avocado Mash is simple and it pairs great with your favorite protein and veg for a complete, Check Total Health meal plan approved lunch or dinner!

To assemble (as I wouldn’t even call it cooking):

1. Measure out your portion of white or brown long grain rice (prepared according to package instructions)
2. Warm your rice
3. Take 1/2 of an avocado (ripe is best) and mash it into the rice
4. Squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice and sprinkle fresh or dried cilantro onto the mash
5. Mash a bit longer until lime juice and cilantro are incorporated

The Avocado Mash is so easy to put together and is truly a tasty addition to your healthy meals! The rice counts as your carb portion and the avocado counts as your fat so make sure you are sticking to your allotted portions for both before assembling!

When you eat on the go, with no microwave, finding options that are healthy and taste great can be challenging. This Cold Couscous salad will certainly fit the bill for healthy eating and tasty flavors.

I had some leftover cooked quinoa blend that I mixed in with 2 cups of cooked couscous. Use the wheat variety, not Israeli when it comes to couscous. Chill your grains in the refrigerator while you prepare the herb and lemon sauce to mix with the cold couscous.

In a blender, combine a small bunch of cilantro with a large bunch of flat leaf parsley. Add the juice of 1-1.5 lemons, Penzey’s Mural of Flavor, and a little garlic salt to taste. Chop some green onions, add to the chilled couscous and toss in the herb sauce. Serve cold and measure your portions; this cold couscous salad counts as a carbohydrate on your meal plan! It pairs nicely with some grilled vegetables and chicken.
