Today’s Tasty Pick: Refreshing Cucumber–Avocado Energy Bowl

Whew! How is it already Thursday? Hey heeey, fam!

How did we wake up today—on the right side of the bed or somewhere between “I tried” and “don’t ask”? And listen… is the festive season actually festiving or are we all just pretending? Because honestly… should we even go there?

Anyway, my people, guess what we are whipping up today? So I woke up this morning with a cute little healthy snack idea for us. At first I was like, “Hmm, will the fam even vibe with this?” But then I thought—ah, why not? We are adults, we can try new things… occasionally.

So today, fam, we are making a Refreshing Cucumber–Avocado Energy Bowl.

Yes, keyword: ENERGY.

Because this festive season? Yoh. Whether December is giving hugs or giving us flames, we need energy. After all, ENERGY is the ability to…? (I will let you finish that one. Go on, be poetic. Hahaha!)

So let’s not waste another second. Let’s make our snack, gather our strength, and survive this day like the absolute champs we are!
