Summer meals that make you feel good

You deserve to feel good about what you’re eating throughout the day. Here are a few meal ideas for you and your friends to try as Auburn summer weather is approaching.

Breakfast:

I’m sure you’ve heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s true. Start the day right with these breakfast ideas.

Avocado Egg Toast: Packed with protein and perfect for when you’re not avoiding something sweet. Take a ripe avocado, slice into pieces, and smash it on the toast with a fork. Cook the egg (scrambled, poached, fried, any way you like!) and place it on top of the fresh avocado.
