Ultimate Green Smoothie
Our number one hack for kickstarting a long day: starting with a green smoothie! If you’re headed out to travel or socialize and aren’t sure where the day will take you, it’s always a good bet to get your nutrients in early. This smoothie is refreshing, hydrating, and packed to the brim with glow-boosting and immune-supporting ingredients–we’re particularly obsessed with the punch the bee pollen packs. Plus, no juicer required!
Best-Ever Guacamole
Not sure how to impress a big group? Guacamole is always a safe bet. You don’t need to pull out a five-course menu every time you host: sometimes chips, a good dip like this, and a margarita are the perfect ingredients for an ideal evening. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this summer staple with a group of your favorite people.
Energy Bites with Dates and Pistachios
To us, energy bites are the ultimate travel hack. Whenever we go on a trip, whether that’s for a weekend or a month, you can count on us and batching and packing these beforehand. They’re sweet but healthy, a delicious stopgap for when you’re spending long days outside and need a little something to tide you over between lunch and dinner but don’t want to feel overly full (or suffer from a sugar crash).
Pan Con Tomate
The easiest-ever summer lunch, pan con tomate is a Spanish classic for a reason. All you need are some good tomatoes (as fresh as you can find), a garlic clove, sourdough, flaky sea salt, and quality olive oil to create a flavor-packed meal that comes together in mere minutes. Just make sure to set aside some time to let the tomatoes drain for the best spread possible.
Tuna Ceviche with Avocado, Red Onion, and Cilantro
Would you believe us if we told you, it’s easy to whip together a ceviche in a mere 30 minutes? All you need to do is combine sashimi-grade tuna with some citrus and onion and refrigerate it while you chop cilantro, chili, tomatillo, cucumber, and avocado. Add salt, mix together, and you’ve got a restaurant-quality meal in half an hour.
Caprese Salad with Manchego, Almonds, and Olives
If there’s one salad that screams summer, it’s a Caprese. We love serving up a Spanish twist on the Italian classic, with our favorite manchego cheese, nutty almonds, crushed green olives for that briny flavor. It’s an unforgettable take on the classic.
