]]> Made with fresh fruits, yogurt, and seeds, this healthy parfait makes the perfect breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert. You can mix and match with the fruit you have in the house and what’s in season. Mango, strawberries, melon, and grapes would also work well!

Seeds are a fantastic source of healthy fats, fiber, protein, and essential micronutrients like magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and vitamin E.

Sheep milk yogurt is higher in nutrients like protein and calcium than regular cow milk yogurt, and has a much milder flavor than goat milk yogurt.

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 an apple, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 a grapefruit, skin, pith and segment membranes removed.
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup plain sheep’s yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, linseeds, chia seeds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Honey or other natural sweetener

Instructions:

  1. Prepare all the fruits, assemble in a bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Top with the sheep’s yogurt.
  3. Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and add the seeds. Toast them until they start to pop—be aware of flying seeds!
  4. Top the yogurt with the toasted seeds and add a dusting of cinnamon and drizzle of honey.
  5. Enjoy!

]]> They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but when it comes to feeling full and focused, exactly what we eat matters. Pancakes, for example, have been a breakfast staple in the US for decades, but the high-sugar content and lack of protein in traditional pancakes are a recipe for a blood sugar spike and crash. Fortunately, with a few simple swaps, it’s possible to make healthy, high-protein pancakes that are as nutritious as they are tasty. Read on for our go-to recipe.

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together oat flour, almond flour, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and almond milk.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix. A few lumps are okay.
  4. Leave the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the flours and seeds to absorb the liquid, and enhances the texture of the pancakes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with cooking spray.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving enough space to flip them with a spatula. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface, then flip to cook the other side. Repeat until all batter is used.
  7. Remove from heat and serve with your favorite toppings. Our go-to is a drizzle of maple syrup, some fresh berries, and a handful of chopped nuts.

While we’ll always love a good old-fashioned carrot cake (especially if it’s covered in cream cheese frosting), sometimes we’re in the mood for something a bit healthier. Fortunately, some creators have found ways to incorporate the flavors of carrot cake into nutritious and delicious treats that are every bit as good as the real thing.

Carrot Cake Energy Balls

Traditional cake isn’t exactly known for its portability, so when we’re in need of a snack on the go, we love these carrot cake energy balls. They’re made with fresh, wholesome ingredients like shredded carrots and walnuts and sweetened with dates instead of traditional sugar. Leave them bare or roll in shredded coconut for flavor and additional healthy fat.

Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

Start your day right with this carrot cake-oatmeal hybrid by Minimalist Baker. Along with grated carrots, it contains all of the classic add-ins like walnuts and raisins for a sweet breakfast treat that’s 100% vegan. We love to eat ours warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Carrot Cake Smoothie

We’ll never say no to a smoothie, especially one that’s made to taste like dessert. This recipe by Foxes Love Lemons is a filling option with plenty of fiber from walnuts and two whole carrots. Vanilla Greek yogurt and a touch of honey round it out with some sweetness, while traditional carrot cake spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth.

]]> Eggs are an awesome source of nutrients including protein, vitamin B, selenium, and vitamin D just to name a few. They’re a staple of cooking all over the world, and there are plenty of ways to make them that you’ve probably tried. So if you’re looking for new ways to incorporate eggs into you diet, here are some recipe ideas you may not have tried yet!

Shakshuka

A Mediterranean/middle-eastern breakfast staple, shakshuka is like a stew where eggs are the star. It’s a sauce made of tomato, pepper, paprika, onion, and spices, with lots of flavors and often some serious spice packed in. But the crown jewel is the eggs nestled into the sauce, cooked to your personal preference of yolk-runny-ness. Mop up the whole thing with some nice crusty bread!

Omurice

This Japanese dish whose name is a shortening of “rice omelet” is meant to be made with things lying around the house, especially leftover rice flavored with ketchup and a beautiful omelet on top. It’s often served in style with beautiful technique at restaurants, but you can make it easily at home without the bells and whistles.

Turkish Eggs

This unique and yummy egg dish stars poached eggs swimming in labneh (a tangy middle eastern yogurt), olive oil, butter, and spices. Mop it all up with crunchy crusty bread for a delicious breakfast!

]]> Oatmeal is normally considered a sweet breakfast dish, to which you add fruits, nuts, and a drizzle of a sweet topping such as honey or maple syrup. So how can it be used in savory dishes? Actually really easily, all you need to do is add veggies of your choice, herbs, and spices, and you have a really filling and satiating meal.

Oats are one of the healthiest whole grains, rich in fiber and high in starch, and containing a good amount of protein. Here are some of the tastiest ways to incorporate oatmeal into your savory dishes.

You can make savory oats as a risotto by just switching the rice to oats and cooking everything the same, it tastes just as good and creamy but takes less time to make than normal rice-based risotto.

If you have lots of leftover veggies in your refrigerator that need to be used up, savory oatmeal is a great dish to add them to. You can play around with the recipe and decide what flavors work for you and what spices you can add to make it a little more interesting.

Oatmeal shakshuka is also a dish you should try, most shakshuka dishes don’t contain any carbs and are meant to be served with bread, but by adding oatmeal to your shakshuka you can skip the bread and stay really full.

]]> One of the most commonly eaten breakfasts in the entire world is cereal. It’s a truly unique phenomenon—how culture came to realize that combining milk with this widely recognized, and yet properly commercialized product known as cereal—produces delicious results. But alas, as we mentioned, there is definitely no small level of commercialization involved in cereal, which is why it’s important to ask ourselves: how healthy is it?

It Really Depends on the Cereal

When you really do your proper research and look for truly healthy cereals—such as Shredded Wheat, or Grape Nuts, or Cheerios (the regular kind, not the sweet version), you find that cereal can be very healthy. But there are countless cereals that are loaded with sugar, and there really is no reason to be eating it in the morning. We’re looking right at you, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, and Trix.

It’s important not to get caught up in thinking that sugary cereals have more health benefits than not, because this can lead to bad health in the long run. Stick to the truly healthy ones, and you should be good to go. Some other healthy cereals include Special K, Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, and much more.

]]> Eggs are an awesome source of nutrients including protein, vitamin B, selenium, and vitamin D just to name a few. They’re a staple of cooking all over the world, and there are plenty of ways to make them that you’ve probably tried. So if you’re looking for new ways to incorporate eggs into you diet, here are some recipe ideas you may not have tried yet!

Shakshuka

A Mediterranean/middle-eastern breakfast staple, shakshuka is like a stew where eggs are the star. It’s a sauce made of tomato, pepper, paprika, onion, and spices, with lots of flavors and often some serious spice packed in. But the crown jewel is the eggs nestled into the sauce, cooked to your personal preference of yolk-runny-ness. Mop up the whole thing with some nice crusty bread!

Omurice

This Japanese dish whose name is a shortening of “rice omelet” is meant to be made with things lying around the house, especially leftover rice flavored with ketchup and a beautiful omelet on top. It’s often served in style with beautiful technique at restaurants, but you can make it easily at home without the bells and whistles.

Turkish Eggs

This unique and yummy egg dish stars poached eggs swimming in labneh (a tangy middle eastern yogurt), olive oil, butter, and spices. Mop it all up with crunchy crusty bread for a delicious breakfast!

]]> Oatmeal is normally considered a sweet breakfast dish, to which you add fruits, nuts, and a drizzle of a sweet topping such as honey or maple syrup. So how can it be used in savory dishes? Actually really easily, all you need to do is add veggies of your choice, herbs, and spices, and you have a really filling and satiating meal.

Oats are one of the healthiest whole grains, rich in fiber and high in starch, and containing a good amount of protein. Here are some of the tastiest ways to incorporate oatmeal into your savory dishes.

You can make savory oats as a risotto by just switching the rice to oats and cooking everything the same, it tastes just as good and creamy but takes less time to make than normal rice-based risotto.

If you have lots of leftover veggies in your refrigerator that need to be used up, savory oatmeal is a great dish to add them to. You can play around with the recipe and decide what flavors work for you and what spices you can add to make it a little more interesting.

Oatmeal shakshuka is also a dish you should try, most shakshuka dishes don’t contain any carbs and are meant to be served with bread, but by adding oatmeal to your shakshuka you can skip the bread and stay really full.

]]> One of the most commonly eaten breakfasts in the entire world is cereal. It’s a truly unique phenomenon—how culture came to realize that combining milk with this widely recognized, and yet properly commercialized product known as cereal—produces delicious results. But alas, as we mentioned, there is definitely no small level of commercialization involved in cereal, which is why it’s important to ask ourselves: how healthy is it?

It Really Depends on the Cereal

When you really do your proper research and look for truly healthy cereals—such as Shredded Wheat, or Grape Nuts, or Cheerios (the regular kind, not the sweet version), you find that cereal can be very healthy. But there are countless cereals that are loaded with sugar, and there really is no reason to be eating it in the morning. We’re looking right at you, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, and Trix.

It’s important not to get caught up in thinking that sugary cereals have more health benefits than not, because this can lead to bad health in the long run. Stick to the truly healthy ones, and you should be good to go. Some other healthy cereals include Special K, Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, and much more.
