I’m just a girl who loves food, making food and getting inspired by food I see on social media—especially when the food is being eaten by my favorite hero, the adorkably charming Chris Pratt. He has been posting his snacks on Instagram in a funny, tortured cause he has to get in shape kind of way, which I of course couldn’t help but watch. If you guys are not familiar with his little #WHATSMYSNACK videos then you need to go watch them like now. I’ll wait.
Now that you are all caught up with what I am talking about, the snacks he is posting actually look pretty tasty. I was drawn to the cucumber egg roll. Now I have no real idea what is in his but I figured I could recreate a version and make my own #WHATSMYSNACK.
Without further ado… Here is my Chris Pratt-inspired cucumber egg roll snack.
Cucumber Egg Roll
1 cucumber
1/2 bell pepper
2 hard boiled eggs
1/2 avocado
Trader Joe’s Hot & Sweet Jalapeños
salt
pepper
paprika
garlic powder
Peel the hardboiled eggs and chop them up. Put them in a bowl. Add the avocado and the seasoning and mash it together. add the diced jalapeño and mix well.
Now its time to slice your cucumber as thin as you can. I used a mandolin. You can also use a veggie peeler or if you have super duper knife skills go ahead and slice them.
Julienne the bell pepper.
Take a strip of the cucumber, add a spoonful of your egg mixture, a few slices of bell pepper (place all of this towards the top of the cucumber slice) and roll it up. Stick a toothpick in it and boom, you’ve got a yummy healthy snack. Oh—and a total connection to Starlord himself.
Post your pics of your cucumber egg rolls, and don’t forget to tag @girlsonfoodblog, @summerhairabedian and cutie @prattprattpratt with the hashtag #WHATSMYSNACK!
Later, my healthy nerds.
