Citrus Snap Peas and Carrots!

Hello wellness lovers... I hope you are having an amazing week!

Any exciting plans for this weekend? Jon and I are going to Disneyland (again!) Haha... we have annual passes, so we need to use them! We actually haven't been in 2 months...

Anyways, on to today's healthy deliciousness! ♥

The other day I was flipping through the latest issue of First magazine, and a recipe caught my eye! It totally had "spring" written all over it! The original recipe called for butter & honey, but I wanted to substitute coconut oil and agave instead.

Also, I made it without fresh parsley and shallots, because:
a.) I like easy, fast, & simple.
b.) It didn't seem like they would taste that amazing with coconut oil.
b.) I find it annoying to make trips to the grocery store for 1 or 2 items. (I am sure you can relate!)

Citrus Snap Peas & Carrots

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds baby carrots
• 12 ounces sugar snap peas
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon agave
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• salt (I used Himalayan)

Directions:

1. In large saucepot over high heat, filled with (lightly) salted boiling water, cook baby carrots for 4 min., or until crisp-tender, adding sugar snap peas after 2 min. Drain.
2. Heat coconut oil in skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add carrots, snap peas, agave, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Yum! Enjoy over rice, quinoa, or other grain for a light & healthy meal.

I hope you are having a great day! :)
