I'm not the greatest cook in the world, but I am trying to change the way I eat for the better. I am looking for light, easy recipes that are great for the summertime. Any suggestions are welcome!

A great thing to have is some grilled pizza topped with fresh veggies. Takes just a few minutes and you have great pizza. I'd check out sites like marthastewart.com or other recipe sites for some good eats!
A quick and yummy dessert would be a strawberry/ or whatever berry shortcake is always good.
Fresh cut up fruit is good too

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMC22
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

I really like smoothies. Gotta have smoothies during the summer. I make mine by blending 1/2 c mixed frozen berries, 1/2 c frozen strawberries, 2 peeled kiwis, about 1 c milk, 2 tbsp wheat germ, 1 tsp fresh ginger. Voila! I like to use soy milk in mine, particularly Silk Soy milk Enhanced. Makes it nice and nutritious. And you don't even have to use this particular combination of fruit. I've also used frozen raspberries, 1 frozen banana, and pineapple. Just keep the measurements the same.

Sandwiches are always good, and fresh, healthy- just don't fry them in butter or something. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables... just put any fruits you like in a bowl and call it "fruit salad". Barbeque chicken is delicious, summer squash is so tasty... Search around online and you'll find tons of great stuff... you won't miss the french fries... trust me!

I just love iceys and stuff... just add coke or your favorite drink and some ice in a blender and blend!
I also love fruit such as peaches, plums, nectarines, grapes, cherries, pears, and more.
And of course, water. I especially love water because you dont need to make it... it comes built in with our planet!
I'm a simple eater when it comes to summer lounging.

Pita pockets. You can put anything in there. Try turkey and avocado. Lettuce, spinach, snow peas, chicken, sliced bell peppers, bean sprouts, etc. I used to live on them and they're delicious. You can eat them hot or cold. They have fiber too.
