When the fickle spring weather takes a dip, nothing comforts quite like a casserole – and this one, filled with ancient grain goodness and seasonal veggies, is sure to hit the spot. It makes delicious use of leftover spinach and artichoke hearts, as well as one of our favorite gluten-free sources of plant-based protein.

Lightened-Up Creamy Avocado Basil Pesto, Ambitious Kitchen

Quick, easy and always a crowd-pleaser, Ancient Harvest Supergrain Pasta tossed with fresh pesto is one of our go-to weeknight meals. We love this version of the Italian staple that replaces the traditional olive oil with ripe avocado for an extra dose of plant-based nutrition and a rich, creamy texture.

Avocado Protein Chocolate Cookies, Cookies to Kale

Looking for yet another way to use up leftover avocados? Try baking them into these chocolately cookies that taste like dessert but pack enough nutritional power to act as breakfast. They’ve got quinoa flour and protein powder along with goji berries for a superfood kick – and they can easily be made vegan, if you’d like.

Now, what to do with those leftover cucumbers? We recommend juicing them for a cooling, refreshing treat! These tasty variations include something for everyone. We’re particularly fond of the one with lime juice, as it gives the drink a sweetly tart taste.
