Avocado snack




Once spring hits avocados become a large staple in my diet and lasts through spring and way into summer. That time of the yeat has arrived! Yesterday, after taking my 400 hour practical Pilates test (which I did really good on! Woo!), I made this delicious little snack! It was super easy and let’s admit … pretty darn healthy for snack time!
I got the idea off Pinterest and after seeing a picture I went to the store and bought what I thought was pictured. Avocados. (Duh!) Cheese… I bought cream cheese. And some thin meat… I bought prosciutto. Since I was making it at my Mom’s house, I knew she’d have whatever spices my little heart could desire. When I got home, I looked up the recipe. The cheese was supposed to be goat cheese… Oops! And the lemon I bought to squeeze in my water… Looks like I might need to share it a little with my avocados!
It all worked out and the result was completely delicious! I can’t wait to make them for Kevin and eat them every single day for the next 12 weeks!

Don’t they look delicious?! Here’s what I did!

  1. Sliced an avocado into sixths (Ok I meant to cut six… I forgot on the second half and cut it into sevenths…)
  2. Sprinkled lemon juice on the slices.
  3. Put a little cream cheese in each seed crevice.
  4. Sprinkled salt, pepper, and chili powder to liking.
  5. Wrapped it in half a prosciutto slice.

And there you have it! Please try it and tell me you love it as much as I do!

Happy Friday!
