Recipe coming your way in a second! First, let’s recap today’s workout.
After working through the morning at Starbucks, I took a mid-day breather and headed to the gym for a cardio workout. My 50 minute workout looked like this:
- 20 minutes stair master
- 10 minutes elliptical
- 10 minute cardio and abs circuit
- 10 minutes elliptical
Hopping around made the workout fly by!
After my time at the gym, I headed home and immediately threw together a fantastic lunch.
Lunch
There’s something about the flavor of cilantro that simply screams fresh. I adore the herb and the punch of flavor it provides to salsa and other dishes like my garam masala chicken. I know it tastes like soap to some people, but I am a cilantro lover through and through!
This afternoon, I made a delicious lunch that centered around cilantro, avocado and shrimp.
Avocados are on sale at my local grocery store and I bought a bunch earlier this week. So far all of the avocados I’ve used have been perfectly ripe. The avocado I used in this salad added the perfect amount of creaminess to the dish.
