This avocado and chickpea salad has enough protein to power your day, and enough fibre to clean you out and make you feel great. It’s packed full of plant-based nutrients that your body needs on a daily basis.

An Easy, Light, and Healthy Salad

The best part about this salad is that it doesn’t mush all together when you mix it. It remains creamy and crunchy all at the same time.

It’s made with fresh, wholesome ingredients that make you feel like you’re not actually eating a salad because of how filling it is. Talk about satisfying!

This past Canada Day long weekend I served this salad on the patio for our family and it was a complete success. Everyone was excited about how nutritious it looked and raved about how good it tasted.

You’d be surprised how a few simple ingredients goes such a long way.

#AD The living room is the heart of our home, and #AD The living room is the heart of our home, and so is our television. We live for all of the cozy movie nights together as a family, or the simple everyday uses, like asking “Hey Google” to tell us the weather or to play a favourite song, not to mention navigating through apps like it’s nobody’s business! (our old TV lagged like crazy and would completely freeze).

It was time for an upgrade — our new @HisenseCa TV exceeds our expectations and is everything we wanted and needed for our family. It’s affordable, functional and convenient, and the quality is outstanding. They really hit it out of the ball park by making a luxury TV with all of the essential features at an affordable price. The picture is crystal clear, it’s easy to mount, quick start-up, and looks perfect over our fireplace!

A few specs of the 65U88G Android 4K QLED Premium:

-Access to a huge selection of apps (400,000 TV shows and movies in Canada)
-Native4K UHD Resolution
Dolby Vision + HDR10
-Chromecast & Google Assistant built-in
-120Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time
-Hisense proprietary ULED technology meets Hisense QLED (Quantum Dot)

Let’s settle a debate. Android or Roku? Which model would you choose?
