*We used Primal Kitchen’s avocado-oil based mayonnaise.
**We used Siggi’s 4% plain Skyr yogurt. If you have a dairy allergy, replace this with the avocado-oil based mayonnaise.
***We used Trader Joe’s gluten-free brown rice crackers.
***We used Flacker’s rosemary flax seed crackers.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Drain and rinse the tuna. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and break up any large chunks with a fork. Squeeze ½ lemon on top.
Step 2. Add the mayo, yogurt, parsley, onion, and spices. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Step 3. In a separate mixing bowl, add the diced avocado and squeeze the remaining lemon half over it. Season with salt and pepper, and mash with a fork.
Step 4. Place crackers on a plate. Spread one teaspoon of mashed avocado onto each cracker, then top with tuna. If traveling, keep the tuna salad, mashed avocado, and crackers in separate containers until you’re ready to prepare.

Step 3. Steam 2 cups of frozen broccoli. You can use fresh broccoli or frozen steam bags for ease. Drain, let cool, and chop finely.
Step 4. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, spices, onion-garlic mix, chopped broccoli, parsley, shredded cheese, and lemon zest. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 5. Fill about ⅔ of each muffin tin with the turkey mixture. Top with a little more shredded cheese.
Step 6. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown. Enjoy warm! These bites are easy to travel with; simply store in a Ziploc baggie or Tupperware container.

For the chia pudding:
¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened rice milk
