Hello, August…we weren’t expecting you so early.

Anyone else stunned that it’s already the last full month of summer? I’m a summer gal through and through, so the arrival of August is always bittersweet.

On the one hand, it’s sunny and gorgeous and the local farmers markets are in full swing. Local farms are finally harvesting all that sweet summer corn we hoard every season. Store bought stuff can’t hold a candle to the farm fresh yummies right now.

August is also the glorious month we actually get a pint-sized respite from The Littles’ year-round sports schedule. There are two blissful little weeks before fall soccer season starts 🎈

We’ll take whatever break we can get because it’s gonna be a wild ride once fall sports and school [and all else] collide.

Now, the bitter in the sweet: August signals the start of a new school year way too soon for me. I’m pretty much never mentally ready for it.

To all my friends who must shuttle Littles back to school this month (especially those who start next week): you all deserve an extra scoop of creamy cookies and cream ice cream. It’s my favorite homemade ice cream in the universe. If you wanna go all out, there’s this DQ Style ice cream cake with all the fudgy crunchies you need.

I’ll balance out the indulgence with this Heathy Guacamole Chicken Salad. It’s not only nutritious but it’s ridiculously easy. It’s a no brainer for BTS days when some of us (me) have a diminished capacity for anything more than a 15-minute dinner deal.

This guacamole chicken salad boasts all the yummy flavors of a freshly made guacamole: avocados galore, lime, herbs, tomatoes, and spices. Add shredded cooked chicken. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper at your discretion.

We love spreading this yummy creation in sandwiches or sliders for a quick ‘n delish meal that’s packed with nutrients:

We also dig spreading it onto baguettes for a crostini type scenario. This would be great for an easy, sharable lunch. Also perfect for snacks and appetizers:

This Healthy Guacamole Chicken Salad is just too yummy when piled high into crunchy scoop chips. It’s the way The Littles like to gobble it up. Plus, these are super cute and make-ahead as a party appetizer:

Here’s to an August full of ice cream cones, walking the beach, and guacamole everything.

Enjoy. ✨

    Healthy and easy to cook. This is good for busy moms for them to prepare foods for their love ones in their hectic schedule the whole day. Yummy Guacamole Chicken Salad! How much do you think it will cost? If you don’t mind.

    I love avocado, but I am a vegetarian. My wife on the other hand is not an avocado fan. I think, this recipe might be something that I could make for her to win her over to the dark side! Which would mean that I could use avocado in other things more often! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

    • Befitting Style

    I’m a lover of avocados so I loveeee guac! It’s soooo good. In love!

      • chewoutloud

    Yes!!! This summer has absolutely flown by!! It’s ridiculous! What I love about this guacamole chicken, besides it looking delish, is that you can eat it plain or really on anything! Great post!

      • chewoutloud

      It’s totally versatile… I thought about writing you could just gobble it up with a spoon all on its own 😉 Thanks for coming over, Shawna!

    • Courtney Andrews

    Looks YUMMY!!

      • chewoutloud

      Thanks! 🙂

    • Nicole V

    Looks really tasty! I’m vegan but it looks like the recipe could be easily modified. Maybe some cooked “fake” chicken or some chickpeas. Either way, looks super tasty! Thanks for sharing!

      • chewoutloud

      You could definitely do beans of any kind in lieu of the chicken. Great idea 🙂
