Quesadillas were originally on the menu for dinner, but I needed a vegetable side dish to go along with them. So I spent my yoga class dreaming up a Mexican-inspired coleslaw. My mind is supposed to be clear and focused on yoga and I’m thinking about food. Shocking, isn’t it?

Maybe it was the clear yoga mind, or maybe not, but regardless, this dressing was creamy, bright and full of lime flavor. Perfectly refreshing after non-focused hot yoga. We served it alongside quesadillas but it would be amazing as a topping for fish tacos or nachos.

Avocado & Lime Coleslaw

• 4 cups chinese cabbage, shredded
• 2 Tbsp red onion, minced (if desired)
• 1 cup + 1 Tbsp. cilantro
• 1/2 avocado
• juice of 1 lime
• 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
• water to thin dressing as needed
• salt, pepper

Combine cabbage, red onion and 1 Tbsp of minced cilantro. Set aside.

Combine remaining ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Add water as needed. Toss with cabbage mixture with dressing and let refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Afternoons always call for something salty or something sweet – but always something. As of late, I’ve been on a sweet kick and as much as I love a good soy chai tea latte, I’ve got a close contender that is much lower in sugar, calories and $$. Is it exactly the same? Of course not, but you can have this every day!

• 1/4 packet of NuNaturals Stevia (to preference)
• 2 Tbsp coconut creamer
• 1 Celestial Seasonings Vanilla Ginger Green Tea Chai bag
• 1 Tazo Organic Chai tea bag
• 1 1/2 cups hot water

Combine all ingredients for that perfect afternoon tea break.
