8 of the best desserts for your summer BBQ.

A few of my favorite bloggers and the most delish desserts to make for your next summer BBQ! Sometimes, just cutting up a watermelon or serving store bought cookies just doesn’t cut it.  Plus you won’t be killing all the hard work you did at the gym and the dinner table all week. Check out some of my favs here.

  • Energy Slump Security - Are you struggling to get going in the morning or hitting a wall of fatigue in the afternoon? What you eat can have a profound effect on your energy levels. It happens to everyone. Suddenly your head feels tight, your stomach feels hollow and you realize you are way too hungry to function. All you can think of is that you want to close your eyes, put your head down and take a nap. So, you drag yourself into the kitchen to find…. something. Healthy eating goes out the window, I NEED FOOD! Ahhh, the good old mid-afternoon slump.

  • Here is another healthy and delicious lunch that is light enough for a quick lunch, but is also filling. Quinoa is a type of grain that contains a lot of protein and iron, plus can be combined with just about anything. You can have just quinoa and chopped veggies, add in some lean protein, or top a bed of lettuce and veggies with the cooked quinoa. It is very versatile with a mild nutty flavor that goes great with a lot of other seasonings and herbs. Plus, as a whole grain, quinoa and the veggies you mix it with are going to be perfect for burning more fat. If you make quinoa for dinner and have some leftover, add it to a container to use for a lunch later in the week. #Mindbodygram #blogger #foodie #foodblogger #eattherainbow #realfood #cleaneats #vegan #bestofvegan #healthyfood #f52grams #foods4thought #thefeedfeed #veganfoodshare #plantbased #eeeeeats #thechalkboardeats #dinner #lunch #bhgfood #f52gram #huffposttaste #foodgawker #thekitchn #feedfeed #thefeedfeed #buzzfeast #sweetmagazine
