Here's another no-ice-needed smoothie. This one is made with vanilla yogurt, frozen pineapples, strawberries, and peaches, and fresh apples, strawberries, and raspberries.
Fun fact: One large orange can provide 100% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C. Get your daily dose with this refreshing Peach-Orange Smoothie! It's a combination of citrus and sweet fruit flavors, and makes for a great snack or a quick, on-the-go breakfast.
I've been loving yogurt and fruit smoothies lately! They're a great way to boost your intake of probiotics (which help improve digestion) and antioxidants. Strawberries are deliciously in season, so today I made a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. It’s so easy – you only need 3 ingredients! Read on to see the recipe.
We’ve all heard the saying, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” It makes sense that we should start our day with food that fills our bellies after a night’s sleep, nourishes our bodies with a variety of nutrients, and gives us the energy to begin our workday. The best breakfast choices are whole-grains, fruits/ vegetables, low-fat dairy, and lean protein. This week is National Breakfast Week, and I’ve got an omelet recipe that includes eggs for lean protein, part-skim mozzarella cheese for low-fat dairy, and tomatoes and broccoli for a serving of vegetables. Add a small glass of 1% or skim milk to complete your dairy serving, and slice of whole wheat toast if you want to get in a serving of grains, and you’ve got yourself a tasty, healthy, balanced breakfast.
French toast, bacon, eggs, and potatoes are the classic makings of an all-American breakfast. Start the New Year right and serve them all this New Year’s Day morning! Here’s a collection of my best breakfast recipes (click the links below to view each recipe):
Easy Overnight French Toast Casserole Right here is a pile of perfectly made home fries. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was THE BEST dish of roasted potatoes I've ever had, and that's a big statement. The bacon had the perfect chewy-crunch, and the potatoes were crispy, tender, and seasoned just right. Serve these up with eggs and big cup of coffee for breakfast, or as a side to any dinner. You'll love, love, love these.
An oven baked omelet is the perfect breakfast if you're making eggs for a crowd. Simply sauté whatever veggies you like, pour into a baking dish, top with cheese and eggs, and bake! My family loved this fluffy, tasty omelet, and I loved that I didn't have to spend time at the stove making omelets one by one, worrying that the ones prepared first would get cold and then overcooked from being reheated...you get the idea. You can make so many variations of this omelet (I have some suggestions listed at the end of this recipe), so experiment with ingredients to find your favorite.
Baked French toast is always one of my favorite things to make for breakfast, especially when I have visitors. It's so easy to put together - you can assemble the dish in 10 minutes the night before, and then just pop it in the oven in the morning. The French toast itself is scrumptious from soaking overnight in the egg custard, and I think the best part is the brown sugar and cinnamon streusel topping. There are so many ways to serve this dish - top it with maple syrup, crumbled bacon, fresh fruit and whipped cream, confectioner's sugar, or enjoy its sweetness all on its own.
It seems like banana and egg pancakes have become really popular lately, especially for those who are trying to eat healthy, stay fit, cut down on their intake of grains and refined carbs, or eat gluten-free. I like these pancakes simply because they’re delicious! They’ve got a light, fluffy texture, a slightly sweet taste, and they’re the perfect breakfast food because they combine my love for quick & easy recipes, eggs, bananas, pancakes, and the flavor of French toast all in one little 3-ingredient package. I could go on about how great they are, but don't just take my word for it- you'll want to give them a try for yourself.
