Juicing has help me so much on my journey. There are so many different types of healthy juices you can make with natural friut. Everyone should play around with it until they find their perfect blend. I replaced a whole meal (breakfast or lunch) with a healthy juice.
My Current Favorite:
- 5 Large Strawberries (30 calories)
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach (24 calories)
- 1 whole banana (105 calories)
- 1 cup of water (0 cal.) Or 1/2 cup of low fat yogurt (77 cal.)
- Total: 236 calories pair it with a slice of wheat toast

So this recipe is inspired by the minimalist baker! Check her website she has amazing recipes. I basically lurk on the healthy recipes on pinterest but try and be "creative" make my own twist to them
Chunky Monkey Overnight Oats:
(made in a mason jar for good measure)
1/2 cup, plain unsweetened almond milk (or whatever milk you please)
3/4 Tablespoon, chia seeds
2 Tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
1 Tablespoon Maple syrup
1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats (I use Bob's red mill)
* I also added about half of a container of vanilla non-dairy yogurt adjust your oats as needed if you do this (: it gives it a super creamy yummy texture...
The next morning when I go to eat...i slice up a banana on top..you could also be fancy and top with a sprinkle or nuts or coconut.
amazing and SUPER filling..not to mention..its a good serving of carbs, fruit, and protein!0 -
Other overnight oats stuff....
1/2c oats
1/2 yogurt
then add serving of fruit and milk (to thickness that you want it)
super easy way of doing it
Banana Bread Overnight Oats: Add 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1-2 tbsp crushed walnuts with the dry ingredients. Use sliced banana as your fruit of choice.
Piña Colada Overnight Oats: Use coconut yogurt and coconut milk. Add a few drops pure vanilla extract, and use diced pineapple as your fruit of choice.
Raspberries’n Cream Overnight Oats: Use raspberry yogurt, and replace the milk of choice with either canned coconut milk or nondairy creamer. Use raspberries as your fruit of choice, and stir in some raspberry jam at the end if desired. The same idea can be applied to strawberry, cherry, or blueberry overnight oats.
Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats: Add 1/4 tsp cinnamon or apple pie spice. Use diced apple as your fruit of choice, and add 1-2 tbsp raisins if desired.

A new breakfast recipe I found...
1/4 cup onion chopped
1-2 garlic cloves minced up
1/2 cup cubed cooked yam
3 eggs or tofu scramble
1 oz skim cheese
you sautte the onions and garlic with a little bit of olive oil. add the potatoes. and add the eggs. the recipe says you can bake it but i don't see why you can't just make it in one pan. hahaha maybe im lazy but! anyways, I'm excited to try it. Letcha know how it goes.0 -
I own a coffee/smoothie shop and am all about the smoothies when I'm starving and haven't gotten enough fruits or veggies in. Of course having the shop makes me much easier for me to have all kinds of ingredients to play with.
Basic smoothies for us involve:
1 cup liquid base (could be milk, almond milk, coconut water, whatever!)
1.5 cups frozen fruit or veggies (I do frozen so I don't have to add ice and it's nice and thick)
Mix-ins! (My favorites are ground flax, chia seeds, cinnamon, pb fit powder, and amazing grass superfoods supplement powder)
I have started doing this smoothie lately to get a punch of fruits, veggies, fiber, and green tea benefits:
1 can of sencha green tea shot (6oz)
2oz coconut water to make the liquid a full cup
1/2 cup frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen spinach
1/4 cup frozen kale
1tsp chia seeds
And it's only 164 calories!1 -
