½ white onion, sliced

2 limes, juice only

1 T fresh cilantro, chopped

salt, to taste

The lime juice will help to keep the avocado from browning but can’t prevent it completely.  If storing, cover with plastic wrap, pressing out as much air as possible and refrigerate.

Guacamole (4 P+)

This is another food that everybody has their own recipe for.  I always make my guacamole with a lot of lime and salt.  Say what you will, I always get complimented on my guac!

The hard thing about this recipe is, since the vegetables always vary in size and taste, there isn't an exact recipe.  This is what I usually start with and work from there.

Energizing Protein Shake (6 P+)

I like to drink these every morning.  My son has to be a part of it so I blend coconut water, a banana, and a handful of frozen berries.  I fill up his cup and then add the rest of the ingredients to the blender to  finish my drink.

Ingredients:

1 banana

4 oz coconut water

8 oz coffee

8 ice cubes

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

2 T sugar free vanilla coffee syrup

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.  Serve over ice.

Notes:

Throw in a handful of berries or other fruit.

Puree fruit and freeze it in ice cube trays so it’s ready first thing in the morning.

Substitute skim milk for the coconut water for a creamier drink.

If you’d like it even creamier, substitute vanilla yogurt for the coconut water.
