When my sister and I took BodyPump together last Saturday, I went light on the squat and lunge tracks because I knew I had to run in a 10K the next day. Well, today I didn’t hold back at all and *wowzaa* I felt the burn! I have a feeling my hamstrings will be talkin’ to me in the morning.
I absolutely love the way BodyPump motivates me to push myself and makes strength training energizing and fun. It’s the best.
On my way home from the gym, I snacked on several handfuls of Cashew Crunch. So addicting!
That snack helped tide me over until lunchtime.
Lunch
If you love tuna salad and guacamole, I urge you to make this sandwich at home.
Guacamole tuna salad!
It was delicious.

- Cuisine: lunch
Description
If you love tuna salad and guacamole, I urge you to make this sandwich at home.
Ingredients
- 1 can tuna (drained)
- 2 ounces guacamole (roughly 2 tbsp.)
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard (more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sweet relish (more to taste)
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
Instructions
Combine all ingredients into a bowl.
Not too shabby!
I used a packet of Wholly Guacamole as the guacamole base, but you can also use mashed avocado or homemade guacamole. It’s a winner!
With my sandwich I also ate and an apple that I dipped in a heaping spoonful of almond butter.
Sweet + Salty!
Question of the Afternoon
- Pick one: Salsa, Guacamole or Queso?
I love stirring salsa into my guacamole, so the combination is my absolute favorite, but if I had to pick, I’d say fresh homemade salsa with lots of cilantro!
Dee says
Salsa all the way!! And I love your bright yellow shoes! They look so fun to wear 🙂
Meghan @ After the Ivy League says
I would definitely pick guacamole…so delicious, I gotta buy avocados next time I’m at the grocery store!
Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie says
Salsa, guacamole, or queso? All three please! 😀
Elizabeth @ myneonrunningshoes says
LOVE those shoes! I choose guacamole hands down 🙂
Erin kl says
Guacamole for sure! It’s funny though because as a kid I thought it looked gross and never tried it till I was at least 16.
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Love the idea of combining guac + tuna!
It’s a toss up for me between gaucamole and queso!
Rachel @ Undercover Diva: A Sitcom says
Homemade guacamole, no doubt! I make some delicious guac so if anyone is in the Melbourne, FL area (or even if you wanna visit, Julie) head onto my way and we can have a taco/guacamole party 😉
Elisabeth says
Definitely queso dip! It’s always my first appetizer choice in a restaurant or to make at home.
Lindsey says
Salsa!!!
Love Body Pump also but my new gym doesn’t offer it at times that work with my schedule:(
Christina says
QUESO! cheese me please!
Sonja @ The {Happy} Travel Bug says
That’s an incredibly difficult decision! I eat Mexican food at least once a week and have all three of these. I call it my Mexican flag of yumminess! (because I get white cheese dip) Anyway, if I HAD to pick just one, I guess I would go with the cheese dip.
Karey says
Guacemole definitely! Love it! So where I used to live, my gym had body pump and it was also my most favorite class ever (okay so it was a tie between body pump and body combat). Now I live in a little town in Kansas where body pump is not available. So just recently I went to youtube and found a few body pump classes, wrote down the songs and routines and do it at the gym. Not as much fun as doing an actual class but still lots of fun! I hope your trip to Ireland and London is a blast! I hope you love both places as much as I do 🙂 I can’t wait to hear all about your trip! Oh, and when you’re in England you must get sticky toffee pudding with custard sauce. (The custard sauce is a must). It’s my fave!
Tailar says
SALSA! Like homemade pico de gallo style salsa, WITH fresh chunks of sliced avocado in it and seasoned with lime. Not quite guac but still adds a pop of that creamy avo texture;) and I agree on EXTRA cilantro!
Jodea @ chillichocolatelove.com says
Loving that salad! Has to be guacamole for me.
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona says
Guacamole. Every single time.
Anne says
Guac. Guac. Guac. Dang I could eat a whole thing of it. By thing, I mean bathtub.
Aurora says
I absolutely love avocados, so I’d have to say guacamole! But I’m with you on stirring salsa into mashed avocados. It’s such an easy snack! I make it in my dorm room all the time and dip veggies in it!
Amanda says
Salsa! love queso too. but I am allergic to avocado! There goes that healthy revolution!
Amanda says
Oooh, that’s a hard one! I’m torn between all of them but I guess if forced to choose and if calories didn’t count, I’d go with the queso! Yum!
Cori @ olivetorun says
GUAC fo sho!
Avery @ Southern Belle Living Well says
Ummm would it be super duper gross if I sad that I think it’d be delicious to mix ’em all together for dipping? Cause, well…yeah. That literally sounds fantastic right now
kylie says
guacamole forevs!!! haha that tuna salad guac combo sounds to die!!!
Katie says
All 3 are so tasty, but I’m going to have to go with Guac! I get it every time I get the chance!
Naomi says
Guacamole!
Miranda @ Miranda Runs says
I don’t know what “Cashew Crunch” is made of, but mmm it looks delicious!
Anna {Herbivore Triathlete} says
Salsa is good but guacamole can be added to pretty much anything in my opinion! I love mashed avocado toast.
Jennifer @ Chocolate Chips & Tricep Dips says
Definitely salsa!!!
Morgan says
So excited to hear about your trip!!! Have fun 🙂
(Un)intentional Happenings says
You seriously want me to make that decision… I guess it depends how many beverages I have had before and if I am making the healthy choice. Oh and true statement I don’t think either are healthy when I eat everything in site. Where is my self control?!?
Lindsay says
Mmmm I LOVE tuna and guac. Sometimes I do just avocado with a little salt and pepper. Delish!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
Guacamole! I could eat avocado everyday. And do most days!
Danica @ It's Progression says
Homemade salsa definitely wins for me! And yes, the fresh cilantro in it is a must.
Brooklyn says
I’m new to body pump and just wondering what weights you use!
Suzanne @ Fit Minded Mom says
I could eat homemade guacamole everyday, all day so for me, the winner is easy!!! I love the green stuff.
Sandra M says
I just bought the Les Mills Pump from Beach Body (i LOVE my trainer/beachbody consultant) I am sooooooo in love with the workouts! I have 5 kids and i homeschool so going to the gym is really not an option for me. Loving these workouts! ( i have 10 dvd’s) Someday……
Bek @ Crave says
Hm it’s a hard choice between guacamole and salsa!
Becky says
Definitely guacamole!!! I absolutely love avocado, and anytime guacamole is in front of me I seem to eat it very quickly! But I also love salsa, and like you, I enjoy mixing my guacamole and salsa! However, my fiance is the biggest lover of cheese I know, so his favorite is without a doubt queso!
Serena says
I can’t wait to get my salsa garden growing!
mailoha albaladejo says
the garmin 305 watch has been discontinued. would you happen to know of any other great watches besides the garmin 305? thanks!
AJ says
I never really had guacamole until my friend in Texas made it for me when I went to visit him. It was AMAZING! Now I love to make it at home, I’ve never tried a store brand because I love homemade so much! I love queso too, but its definitely not as healthy.

Krista @ Tiny n Fit says
I LOVE guac- especially the HUGE bowls they give you at a Mexican restaurant up here called Guapos! Stir in some spicy salsa, lots of cilantro, and a dash of cumin- it really makes the guac! I also sometimes add a little plain greek yogurt in for more creaminess!
Megan says
Guac all the way!! One of the reasons I can’t wait for our honeymoon in Riveria Maya in two weeks!! 🙂
Kelly says
Guac for sure.. I love body pump.. It is so intense and you get to work all your body parts in one hour. Love it!!! 🙂
Sommer says
I have been doing body pump for almost two months now! I have been using around 15 to 20 pounds on my barbell for work outs. I am not feeling as sore as I usually do should I up my weight? How much do you use?
Monique @ burpeestobubbly.com says
omg I LOVE Queso, but since it is so bad for you, I try to stray away from it. Salsa, on the other hand, bring.it.on. 🙂
Karla @ myhighonlife says
I am so making this!! Always looking for easy and new recipes to make especially for lunch at work!
I have been dying to try bodypump. It’s offered frequently at my gym but Im afraid of being the ‘new girl’ who has no idea what is going on. =/
Jeanie @ Breakfast for Dinner says
I <3 GUACAMOLE!! I love salsa too, and when I get the chance I will mix the two on the same cracker of chip. Queso is great tasting, but I try to eat dips that have more nutritional benefits. I love to dip things, and tend to use more than I should; so at least if I make a good choice I am adding nutrients to my daily repertoire . Just writing this makes me want any all of these dips 🙂
Renae @ MissFit Mixed Chick says
QUESO QUESO QUESO!! I AM A CHEESEHEAD. And cheese is one thing I will never ever try to give up on a diet because I will be eating cheese for the rest of my life…
alright…sorry…I sound like a stalker of cheese. :]
Erin says
Salsa, definitely!!! What is included in the Cashew Crunch? I’ve never seen this before!
Jolynn says
Salsaaaaa!
