What We're Into: July 2016

The longer days and routines of summer make it a great time to try something new. Check out July's "What We're Into" for suggestions on healthy food, healthy content, and fun events around ATX! And please let us know if there is something you're into that we need to try!

Recipe:

Here's a great salad recipe we've been enjoying for years. Cherry tomatoes, crunchy red onion, creamy white beans and avocado are dressed with a zippy lemon vinaigrette (we also like to put this bean salad on top of spinach or arugula). It's super easy and filling - perfect for summer when no one wants to be stuck in the kitchen! Make a big batch and eat it throughout the week.

Books:

Check out this list of 20 Wellness Books Worth Reading in 2016 from MindBodyGreen. This list contains some popular books from this year you've likely heard of, plus some new ones that are worth a read. We've got A Mind of Your Own by Kelly Brogan, M.D. and The Prime by Kulreet Chaudhary, MD on our summer reading list.

Podcast:

We love NPR's Invisibilia, where the invisible forces of our lives like thought and emotion are explored through personal stories and scientific research. We found the July 1st episode The Problem with the Solution, about trying to "solve" mental health issues, both fascinating and moving. Check it out.
