Wiped after your afternoon run? Follow the formula! Below you will learn how to build the perfect skinny smoothie, every single time!

A Few Simple Steps

First, choose your fruit. Do you like the vibrant tang of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries? Maybe you prefer a tropical infusion of banana and pineapple. It’s your call. Mix up your favorite fruits. Then, select a liquid. Do you prefer the smoothness of coconut milk? Maybe you need a dash of caffeine from iced coffee. Some of you like the refreshing addition of clear water. Remember that you’ll be adding a creamy texture later, so if you choose a lighter liquid, feel free to complement it with a creamier ingredient.

Now, think about which nutritional powerhouses you’ll need for the day. Choose your veggie and your energy boost while thinking of what you’ve been lacking in your diet lately, or what might help you to feel better as the day goes on. And, of course, that extra dash of sweetness and flavor make all the difference. Choose your natural sweetener and dash of healthy flavor to finish off your perfect smoothie!

Roasted Red Pepper Salmon Burgers

Are you in need of a quick and nutritious meal that is not only good for you but tastes great too? If so, you’re in luck! These rich and flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Salmon Burgers are just as easy to prepare as they are scrumptious. 

When you think of burgers, salmon might not be the first thing that comes to mind (if it even comes to mind at all). Once you try this awesome recipe, your opinion of burgers will never be the same. Salmon is actually an exceptionally meaty fish, making it the perfect texture for a hearty burger. Throw in some added flavor from red pepper and other spices, and you’ve got yourself a new favorite go-to burger recipe. 

Why We Love Salmon

These Roasted Red Pepper Salmon Burgers are incredibly simple to make. In fact, they can be ready to go in fewer than 20 minutes! You’ll start by mixing the salmon, roasted red pepper, yogurt, egg whites, onion, bread crumbs, and seasonings together in a bowl. This mixture will make up the burger patties. Once the oven is preheated, place the patties on a baking sheet and cook for 8 minutes on each side.

Once your patties come out of the oven, spread an even layer of clean-eating mayo on one half of your whole-wheat bun. You can use store-bought clean mayo, or make this incredibly delicious plant-based avocado mayonnaise. Then, top each burger with a little bit of lettuce and tomato, and your delicious dinner is ready to enjoy!
