Egg and Avocado Baskets

July 9, 2017 By Jessica Leave a Comment

These Egg and Avocado Baskets are a no-hassle, delicious weeknight dinner that’s low-carb, gluten and dairy free. Need inspiration for Meatless Monday? BAM, we’ve got you covered. With just a few ingredients, you can create this stellar entree for two in less than an hour.

Recently, my husband and I have been looking into healthier dinner options that won’t leave us with the 8PM snack cravings (ice cream, anyone?). We like to eat a full plate, so low-carb recipes allow us to indulge in massive quantities of food without adding to the bulge (or guilt).

Whole30

I’ve partnered with Clean Juice Bar to showcase a delicious recipe that is good for the soul, good for the body, and (you guessed it)… good tasting.

Clean Juice opened their first location right around the corner from my house in June, 2015 and I have been slightly obsessed with them ever since. In the past two years they have expanded to 63 franchises in 10 states; I am so excited to support them and be a part of their inspiring journey.

Spaghetti Squash makes an appearance at our house year-round.

It’s a very versatile vegetable that you can use with almost any ingredients that you have on hand. Make sure to check out our other Spaghetti Squash recipes here!
