Summer is the time that everyone decides they need to make a change in their lives and some really have the time to do it. When you're faced with minimal time and ingredients, it can be hard to take that first step towards change. Thankfully, Pinterest is a great place to find fast, easy, and healthy recipes to make when you're in a hurry.
1. Breakfast Popsicles
This is such an easy on the go type of breakfast. If you love a refreshing bowl of yogurt in the morning, you are sure to love this. Just mix together some milk, yogurt, and honey, put it into a mold and then add some berries and granola. Freeze it for at least 4 hours eating. In the morning before you go, take one out and eat it as you please.
2. Avocado Toast with Egg
This recipe can be changed in so many ways with the same ingredients. Prefer scrambled eggs? Well then, scramble them. Don't really like mashed avocados? Simply slice it then. Mix and match any style toast, avocado, and egg to your preference and you have a simple breakfast that tastes delicious.
3. Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad with Chicken
This is a great kind of lunch that you can just pack up in a tupperware container and take it wherever you need. It's also a nice lunch to pack in bulk. Line up a few containers and then put some spinach in one corner, slice up some avocados and strawberries, cook up some chicken and lay it out separately. Sprinkle on some almonds, onions, and feta cheese and then mix it up once you need it.
4. Baked Black Bean Taquitos
With this recipe, all you really have to do is mix together a few ingredients, wrap them up in a tortilla and cook it.

5. Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Wrap
This recipe has all of the ingredients complimenting each other so nicely. The way the barbecue chicken, pineapple, and vegetables go together will make you ready for seconds.

You may need to cook extras just in case someone wants more, but there will be enough for each person. Secondly, by cooking it together all of the flavors get to mix together and it becomes one great tastes even though you're eating everything individually.
