Recipes
Nut Butter, Banana, and Chia Seed Toast
Try this superfood twist on classic PB and toast with 1/2 a banana (sliced) and a sprinkle of chia, which is packed with vitamins and min-
erals (like six times more calcium than milk!).
Tomato Toast With Cheese
Here’s a healthier take on a classic breakfast sandwich: Take 2 slices of a hearty whole-grain bread, spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of cheese, and sprinkle with basil, kosher salt, and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Add 1-2 hearty slices of fresh heirloom tomatoes (blotted with paper towel to remove excess liquid) and enjoy.
Overnight Crock-Pot Egg Casserole
Wake up to a house smelling like sausage and ef- fortlessly put breakfast on your plate, all thanks to the beauty of a slow cooker. Layer the vegetables, sausage, and cheese in the Crock-Pot, then top with a mix of eggs and cream (you'd be fine using regu- lar or nondairy milk too for a lighter option), and you're just one sleep away from a delicious meal.
Berry and Yogurt Smoothie
Here’s a simple and de- licious smoothie for the morning rush. Blend frozen fruit (banana and berries work well) with Greek yogurt and a liquid of your choice (milk, juice, coconut water—whatever you like). Freeze overnight and thaw throughout the day to enjoy in the afternoon or blend up in the morning.
Savory Oatmeal With An Egg
Take oatmeal to a whole new level by making it savory. Pre- pare as usual with milk or water, but add a pinch of salt and pep- per instead of any cin- namon or sugar. Then top with an over-easy or poached egg and sprinkle on a little cheese for an extra tasty kick.
