No Processed Carbs and Limited Dairy Meal Plan
Quinoa, Red Pepper and Cucumber Salad with Avocado and Lime from Yoga Journal
Quinoa Red Pepper and Cucumber Salad with Avocado and Lime from Yoga Journal
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients: quinoa, garlic, shallot, jalapeno, lime, olive oil, red pepper, cucumber, cilantro, avocado.
This dish is easy to make and tastes so fresh and healthy. It’s great just the way it is but you could also easily throw in some additional add-ins like black beans, corn or tomatoes.
Holiday Roasted Vegetable Salad from Linda Wagner
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients: salad greens (spinach, arugula, kale), broccoli, acorn squash, sweet potatoes, pomegranate, avocado, hemp seed garnish, vinaigrette.
This salad has a lot of flavors going on and is pretty delicious and filling. I didn’t add the hemp seed garnish and used just spinach. It tasted great fresh but did not look like it would make good leftovers so I would recommend just making enough for one meal.
Chipotle Chicken Salad from Prevention RD
Prep Time: 8 minutes Cook Time: 12 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients: cilantro, greek yogurt, chipotle chile, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, salt, romaine, chicken breast, cherry tomato, avocado, red onion, black beans, corn.
This salad is easy to make and tastes delicious. It also makes great leftovers as long as you don’t mix the dressing and the salad together beforehand. For more delicious salad recipes check out this vegan salads meal plan.
Chicken Avocado Soup from Mama Miss
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients: chicken breast, olive oil, salt and pepper, green onion, garlic, tomato, broth, cumin, avocados, cilantro, lime.
Rick and I really liked this soup and it was super easy to make. I added a little extra garlic and cumin.
Cayenne Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa from Martha Stewart
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients: salt and pepper, cayenne, chicken breast, olive oil, red onion, lime, avocado.
These were a big hit with my family, I thought they might be too spicy but even the kids liked them.. I made half with the cayenne rub and half with a cajun spice rub and they were both really really good. I don’t think the rub in the recipe is enough and I would at least double it and see if that works, although the more rub you put on the saltier the chicken becomes so keep that in mind. We will definitely be making this chicken recipe again in the future since it is quick, straight forward and everyone liked it. For more chicken recipes check out this chicken meal plan.

All of these dishes look super tasty. I’m inspired to be healthier just looking at them. I’ve never seen avocado in a warm soup and I want to try it.
Thanks Valentina! I really like avocado in soup, I hope you do too!
This meal plan is amazing. I wish I was going to that conference. I’ve never been to a pinners one before.
