It’s no secret that I love avocados and green tea!  I’ve been whipping up a post workout green tea and chilled avocado soup on a pretty regular basis and wanted to share this super easy recipe with you to try as well.  The mint in my usual green tea adds an extra kick of energy for me, and I love anything avocado so this soup is awesome served hot or chilled.  I can put this together in about 5 minutes or less so it’s definitely a quick meal for when you want replenish and get a solid dose of antioxidants and vitamins.

Lipton Green Tea

I’ll start off by making some iced Lipton Matcha Green Tea with Mint.  I usually prefer tea iced (and especially after a workout I like something refreshing) so will steep my tea bags in a smaller amount of hot water to activate the tea, and then toss in a bunch of ice once steeped to cool it down.  I picked up this Lipton Matcha Green Tea with Mint during a recent Safeway trip and had to try it out.  We’ve been growing organic mint in the window sill and I’ve been throwing it into everything!  I’ll also use a classic Lipton tea bag too if I want an extra boost of energy.  This recipe was my inspo for this easy tea.

REFRESHING AVOCADO SOUP

While my tea is steeping I’ll start prepping my avocado soup.  It’s a very easy recipe so I eyeball all of the ingredients.  If I’m making just one serving for myself, I’ll scoop one avocado into a small blender, add about one cup vegetable or chicken broth, add a handful of sliced cucumber, and a few mint leaves (why not, it’s here in the kitchen!).  You can add salt and pepper if you’d like but I find that the broth gives it a perfect amount of seasoning.

Blend everything together until smooth!  If you’re using hot broth, make sure you blend safely with a towel over the blender to avoid any hot liquid splashes.

I actually best prefer this avocado soup chilled so I’ll use room temperature broth and then pop it in the refrigerator to chill.  It’s also amazing hot on a cold day!

Serve your avocado soup up in a bowl alongside your minty-matcha goodness tea from Lipton and you have one of my favorite post-workout meals that is delicious, vitamin packed, and so good!

Have you ever tried avocado soup before? You have to give it a try!  

If you’re headed into your local Safeway, save $10 instantly when you spend $30” on Lipton or other Unilever items like Hellmann’s and Knorr!

    What a beautiful kitchen you have! I also have the same blender you do but need to use it more often so thank you for an inspiring recipe to try. I am also trying to grow avocado tree in Phoenix so wish me luck! 🙂

    I am always trying different lipton teas and this is a favorite of mint. That sounds like such an interesting soup – I have never tried anything like it.

    What color! The color reminds me of spring and St Patrick’s Day. I have a relative that loves avocado, this would be right up their alley.

    Wow I have not tried avocado soup before, but mint tea is certainly a good treat. I will have to try to make this combo up and see how I like it.

    This is a very unique approach. I will have to share this with my dad; he just started working out again after many years of gym dormancy.
    I also heard that, believe it or not, chocolate milk is a good post-workout drink.

    I think it’s awesome to be able to make this especially during the warmest days of the year. I’d love to keep the recipe and have this one served chilled. I’m sure my husband will love it.

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
