Quick & Easy Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl
Think you don’t have time to prepare a healthy breakfast? Think again! This recipe is super quick to prepare and will keep you satisfied all morning long. Your taste buds will delight in fresh berries packed with antioxidants.
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad Bowl
Bowls are always a great idea, and so easy to put together. This one is made with roasted sweet potato, black beans, corn, spinach, a tomato and avocado salad, and a nice scoop of hummus. This bowl can be enjoyed as is or topped with your favorite dressing.
Almond Butter and Blueberry Sweet Potato Toast
This is a craveable, nutrient-dense breakfast. Sweet potatoes contain vitamins B6, C, and D and are full of potassium, magnesium, and carotenoids (which boost immunity to disease). This powerhouse meal hits an even higher nutritional level when topped with blueberries and almond butter.
This rich and creamy nondairy “cheese” dip is so over-the-moon good you’ll be making it again and again. The bold flavors pair beautifully with salsa. Together they can be served with a side of raw veggies or baked, oil-free tortilla chips for a healthful, crowd-pleasing snack.
Feel free to improvise and add whatever frozen fruit you’d like to these popsicles. Try some blueberries or a handful of pineapple chunks. Yum! On a side note, how cute is my little brother?
Basil and spinach are just meant for each other. This dip is creamy and loaded with greens. It is simple to make and perfect for holiday parties and beyond.
