HIII friends!!

I’ve been meaning to post a summer roll recipe for a while now, and obviously I’m juuuusttt getting around to posting this after the unofficial end to summer…but that’s just as delicious because it’s been 90 degrees in New York and not turning on the oven is where it’s at!

These Mango, Cucumber and Zucchini Summer Rolls make a great snack, lunch, appetizer and anytime light bite and they are SO easy to make (the best part if you ask me!).

The combination of mango, cucumber and zucchini is a sweet and refreshing combination, because staying hydrated is of the utmost importance always, but especially when you’re battling the heat and humidity! You can totally change up the combo of veggies you have in here, but I just love the simplicity and slight tropical feel of the mango. Or you can add some lean protein, like tofu or shrimp and turn these babies into a complete meal. Aaaand, using brown rice wrappers bumps up the fiber even more (they may be hard to find, but you can order them online here).
