With summer fast approaching, I have been thinking about my favotite things to eat in the summer that are quick, easy, delicious, and do not need an oven. I hnjoy my hope you enjoy my list of my all time favorite summer foods!
1) My ULTIMATE favorite snack is a frozen banana topped with lots of melted chocolate, which you then top with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries! Seriously the best thing ever I could eat this every day.
2) Fruit kabobs! Mine include chocolate covered strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, pineapple and blackberries! Super tasty as well when they are very slightly grilled. However i wouldn't recommend grilling the chocolate covered strawberries, it turns a messy pretty quickly.
3) My favorite summer drinks (non-alcoholic)- Pina Coladas and Strawberry Daquries! If you dont know how to make these, they are all very simple., and both mixed in blenders.
Pina Colada for two:
1/4 of a 46oz can Pineapple Juice
1/4 of a 15oz can cream of coconut (not coconut juice)
1/4 of a 15oz can pineapple slices
ice
*Blend together with ice until fairly thick, and add marachino cherries!
Strawberry Daquri for two:
2oz fresh lime juice
6oz fresh strawberries
2tsp sugar
1/2tsp pure vanilla extract
ice
*Blend together Lime Juice, Strawberries, Sugar, and Vanilla until smooth. Add ice and blend again until smooth and thick
4) For some reason i cannot eat this unless it is summer, it just doesnt feel right. But once summer time hits it is my favorite breakfast and also really simple. 9 grain toast, topped with cream cheese and fresh sliced strawberries.
5) Avacado Mango Salsa:
1 avacado, pitted, peeled, and diced
1 lime, juiced
1 mango, peeled, sliced, and diced
1 small red onion
1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
1 Tb chopped fresh cilantro
salt to taste
*Place the avocado in a serving bowl, and mix with the lime juice. Mix in the mango, onion, habanero pepper, cilantro and salt.
