]]> Blueberry muffins are a popular breakfast option for many due to their convenience and deliciously sweet flavor. While we can’t deny that they are tasty, the truth is that this is because blueberry muffins are essentially cake in disguise. It’s okay to indulge in moderation, but the high sugar content can cause a sugar crash that leaves you feeling drained and sluggish. If you love blueberry muffins but are looking for breakfast ideas that help keep you full and energized, read on to discover some blueberry muffin-inspired recipes made with nutritious and filling ingredients.

Blueberry Muffin Breakfast Cookies

These cookies by Minimalist Baker have all of the fun fruity flavors of traditional blueberry muffins but are packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and focused all morning long. The recipe is vegan, but can also be made with eggs if you prefer to up the protein content.

Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

We love this smoothie by Nutrition Squeezed as a refreshing way to start the day or whenever we’re in need of an afternoon pick-me-up. It’s made with frozen blueberries along with seeds and oats to provide your body with the energy it needs, whatever the time of day. She recommends adding frozen zucchini or even cauliflower for extra fiber and nutrients.

Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars

Store-bought protein bars are fine in a pinch, but they’re often filled with lots of hidden sugar and don’t exactly tend to be budget-friendly. This recipe by Erin Lives Whole is based on the protein bar brand Perfect and includes instructions for over 10 different flavors. Our favorite is, of course, the blueberry muffin, which is made with dried blueberries and white chocolate along with protein powder and cashew butter.

]]> If you’re looking for delicious plant-based recipes that are healthy, flavorful, and easy to make, Jenné Claiborne of Sweet Potato Soul has you covered. This vegan chef-turned-food blogger is known for her mouthwatering dishes that feature fresh, whole ingredients, all made with what she describes as “a generous sprinkling of soul.” From hearty stews to vegan seafood, her recipes are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. Here are a few of our favorites.

Meaty Tofu Chili

Even serious carnivores are sure to love Jenné’s take on this classic comfort food. Her secret is to prepare ground tofu using an air fryer, which gives it a chewy, meat-like texture that stands up beautifully to a warm and hearty tomato-based sauce.

Sweet Potato Bisque with Crispy White Beans

Out of all of Sweet Potato Soul’s namesake recipes, this bisque is one of the best. White beans substitute heavy cream to create a rich and velvety base that pairs perfectly with the candy-like flavor of sweet potato. Top with some garlic and rosemary-infused crispy white beans for added crunch.

Vegan Fish Tacos

This recipe uses store-bought vegan filets to create a fun and flavorful ‘fish’ taco that’s as good as the real thing. The filets are topped with homemade salsa and some spicy adobo mayo for kick, while fresh veggies and a squeeze of lime juice help to keep things light.

]]> As grateful as those of us who follow a vegan diet are for all of the plant-based alternatives that have entered the market in recent years, there’s one category we’ve noticed could use a few more options. Non-dairy milks abound in most stores, and we’ve lost count of the number of realistic burgers there even are at this point. When it comes to seafood, however, choices are much more limited. While there are a few brands making mock fish products, they’re often expensive and difficult to find. Fortunately, with a few simple ingredients it’s easy to make fresh and delicious plant-based “seafood” at home. Here are a few of our favorite recipes.

Vegan Shrimp

This recipe by Monica at The Hidden Veggies uses King Oyster Mushrooms marinated in a seaweed broth to create a shrimp alternative that’s surprisingly realistic. Add a sprinkle of paprika for that pink shrimpy color and no one will be able to tell the difference.

Vegan Lobster Rolls

With lobster meat, mayonnaise, and a buttered bun, traditional lobster rolls aren’t exactly vegan-friendly. This recipe by Labeless Nutrition calls for hearts of palm seasoned with fresh herbs, Old Bay, and vegan mayonnaise instead. It’s a perfect summer sandwich ready to eat in just 15 minutes.

Vegan Crab Cakes

For an option with a bit more protein, we love this vegan crab cake recipe by Vegan Huggs. Hearts of palm and kelp granules provide a crab-like texture and flavor, while chickpeas provide 13 grams of protein per serving. Top them with some vegan tartar sauce for good measure.

]]> In order to have a healthy balanced diet, it’s important to add fruits and vegetables to your meals. They are full of vitamins and minerals, filling, and can boost your health and fight diseases (especially in cold and flu season.) It’s hard to make sure you are getting enough vegetables throughout your day, but here are four easy ways to help you.

Soups

There is nothing better than a big pot of soup to warm you up in the winter. It is easy to make and you can add any vegetables that you have in your refrigerator. It is also the best way to use up any veggies that are a little wrinkled and don’t need to be wasted. You can add any herbs and spices and put some toasted bread on the side for a filling healthy meal.

Veggie Noodles

Zoodles are a great alternative to spaghetti and they are just as filling and healthier way to eat your bolognese. All you need is a spiralizer and some zucchini, carrots, or sweet potatoes and you have yourself a delicious meal.

Add More Vegetables to Sauces

While you’re cooking sauces for your general meals, like marinara sauce, you can easily add some veggies to the mix, such as onions, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach.

Vegetable Omelet

You can add just about anything to your basic omelet to make it more filling. So instead of cheeses, why not try to add some more veggies? Mushrooms, spinach, and bell peppers are all good options for an omelet.

]]> Winter is definitely upon us and with its arrival tends to come cold and flu season. While maintaining a healthy diet is not the only factor involved in staying well, it certainly does contribute, and vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients involved in keeping your immune system strong. Many of us grew up hearing that we needed to drink orange juice to get enough vitamin C and while it’s true that citrus fruits are one of the best sources, there are plenty of ways besides OJ to get enough. Minimalist Baker has us covered this season with some of these sunny citrus recipes perfect for even the dreariest day.

Blood Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

This smoothie is just like the popsicles we loved as children, but healthier. Blood orange juice and coconut cream make for a delicious and healthy smoothie packed with vitamin C. Even the color of this smoothie looks appetizing. 

Roasted Fennel Brussels Sprout Salad

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Fennel get a seasonal makeover with the addition of cranberries and orange slices. This salad is delicious and packed with nutritious ingredients. 

Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots

If you feel a cold coming on, be sure to make these shots ASAP. Lemon is high in vitamin C and the ginger and turmeric have anti-inflammatory properties that served together will have you feeling better in no time!

]]> Everyone loves potato chips, and rightfully so—there’s something so nostalgic about their salty crunch. They’re not the healthiest of snacks, though, if we’re being honest. Most of the time they’re deep-fried in oil which creates transfats that when consumed often, can lead to health issues. While you can certainly still enjoy potato chips once in a while, for daily snacking there is a better option. Baked kale chips are a crispy and tasty DIY snack that you can customize with any seasonings you like. We love this garlicky cheesy recipe for munching and snacking on all day long.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large bunch of kale
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
  • Pinch (about ¼ teaspoon) of salt

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Tear kale into bite-sized pieces, removing thick stems. Rinse pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel – make sure no water remains.
  • Add kale to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle seasonings onto kale and mix thoroughly to make sure leaves are evenly coated. 
  • Spread seasoned kale over the baking sheet, ensuring that pieces are not too close together. If there isn’t enough room, bake in two batches or use a second sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, turn the sheet to ensure even baking and return to bake for 10 more minutes. 
  • Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes, enjoy!

While you’re cooking sauces for your general meals, like marinara sauce, you can easily add some veggies to the mix, such as onions, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach.

Vegetable Omelet

You can add just about anything to your basic omelet to make it more filling. So instead of cheeses, why not try to add some more veggies? Mushrooms, spinach, and bell peppers are all good options for an omelet.

]]> Winter is definitely upon us and with its arrival tends to come cold and flu season. While maintaining a healthy diet is not the only factor involved in staying well, it certainly does contribute, and vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients involved in keeping your immune system strong. Many of us grew up hearing that we needed to drink orange juice to get enough vitamin C and while it’s true that citrus fruits are one of the best sources, there are plenty of ways besides OJ to get enough. Minimalist Baker has us covered this season with some of these sunny citrus recipes perfect for even the dreariest day.

Blood Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

This smoothie is just like the popsicles we loved as children, but healthier. Blood orange juice and coconut cream make for a delicious and healthy smoothie packed with vitamin C. Even the color of this smoothie looks appetizing. 

Roasted Fennel Brussels Sprout Salad

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Fennel get a seasonal makeover with the addition of cranberries and orange slices. This salad is delicious and packed with nutritious ingredients. 

Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots

If you feel a cold coming on, be sure to make these shots ASAP. Lemon is high in vitamin C and the ginger and turmeric have anti-inflammatory properties that served together will have you feeling better in no time!

]]> Everyone loves potato chips, and rightfully so—there’s something so nostalgic about their salty crunch. They’re not the healthiest of snacks, though, if we’re being honest. Most of the time they’re deep-fried in oil which creates transfats that when consumed often, can lead to health issues. While you can certainly still enjoy potato chips once in a while, for daily snacking there is a better option. Baked kale chips are a crispy and tasty DIY snack that you can customize with any seasonings you like. We love this garlicky cheesy recipe for munching and snacking on all day long.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large bunch of kale
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
  • Pinch (about ¼ teaspoon) of salt

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Tear kale into bite-sized pieces, removing thick stems. Rinse pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel – make sure no water remains.
  • Add kale to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle seasonings onto kale and mix thoroughly to make sure leaves are evenly coated. 
  • Spread seasoned kale over the baking sheet, ensuring that pieces are not too close together. If there isn’t enough room, bake in two batches or use a second sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, turn the sheet to ensure even baking and return to bake for 10 more minutes. 
  • Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes, enjoy!
