Carrots and chard are chock-full of vitamin A, which is important for healthy eyes and skin. Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain, which helps prevent bloating and is great for post-workout recovery. Chia adds protein and healthy fats.
Ingredients 3 cups Swiss or red chard 1 ½ carrots, cut into chunks (You can lightly steam the carrots to make a creamier smoothie) 3 cups water 1 cup almond milk (I used lactose free milk at my sister’s - it came out good!) 3 cups (375 mL) pineapple 3 tablespoons chia seeds 5 scoops of collagen powder (at least 20 grams of protein) Instructions 1. Place chard, carrots, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth. 2. Add remaining ingredients and blend again. I used frozen pineapple to make the smoothie cold, or you can serve over ice. I love this delicious, portable breakfast. You can change it up by using the fruits and nuts you have on hand. It doesn't get much easier to have something delicious to eat on hand when you have a busy morning.
Ingredients 2/3 cup rolled oats 1 tsp chia seeds 1 tbsp pumpkin seed (or 10 almonds) 1 cup almond milk 1/2 cup frozen blueberries or strawberries 1 tsp maple syrup 1/2 tsp cinnamon Mix all ingredients in a jar and let sit overnight. Gracias por la paciencia!

At my most recent holiday gathering, I had some delicious new healthy spreads I wanted to share with you all. I put out some seite chips (which are made of cassava) and pickled veggies that were both a hit. But my favorite- and one that received a lot of compliments- was definitely the stuffed mushrooms. Here's the secret: I used mini portobello mushrooms. In a non-stick pan I sautéed onions, garlic, the mushroom roots, and 1 yellow zucchini with salt and pepper. I mixed with them with baked sweet potatoes and about 1/4 of a cup of parmesan cheese. I sprayed them with a little avocado oil and cooked them for 12 minutes on 390 degress in my air fryer! It made 24, and they were gone before you could say "Happy Holidays." And healthy... shhh. Try them, and enjoy the holidays guilt free! This is a game changer for hard boiled eggs. Place eggs on a trivet in your instant pot/ pressure cooker. Add 1 cup of water and cook for 5 min on high. Release for 5 minutes and- voila- perfect eggs! If you soak the cooked eggs into an ice water bath for a few minutes, they will peel easily.
I can’t believe I haven’t made this before! |
