If you enjoy tzatziki, this full-flavored recipe is like a tangy, cool soup version of it. The grated cucumber along with the unique inclusion of tea makes it refreshing and almost spa-like. What’s more, this soup provides bonus health benefits from the green tea, which studies find may help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The most satisfying comfort soup in my opinion is creamy and cheesy. As a kid, Cheddar Cheese and Broccoli Soup was always a staple in our kitchen; however, this version has been slimmed down considerably.
A breakfast bowl is a good way to use extra veggies you have. This very low carb bowl gets a flavor boost from the spices, chicken sausage, mushrooms, and eggs. Drizzle a little lime juice over top for a zesty bite.

Who doesn’t love a great guac? While avocados are so good for us and we can enjoy them on a daily basis, minding the serving size is key. Whenever I make guacamole, I try to complement the avocado with a vegetable to bulk it up and reduce the amount of avocado in the recipe. Cucumber is great because it is refreshing and does not alter the flavor. Zucchini would be great too. Serve with sliced radishes or jicama instead of tortilla chips for a low carb snack or appetizer.
