Breakfast stack! Bagel with salad mix sprouts, broccoli sprouts and protein mix sprouts with avocado, cottage cheese and everything but the bagel seasoning!

I put sprouts to all salads I eat :) This one is no exception. We call it "Nutty crunch" at home. The recipe is primitively simple (1 portion):

- Cut iceberg lettuce in pieces you find attractive - the juicy crunchiness is a good base here

- Slice half of nice red and meaty bell pepper

- Put sprouted flaxseed on top (FYI: dormant/not sprouted flaxseed contains cyanide)

- Add your favorite dressing (I prefer extra virgin olive oil + apple cider vinegar + honey + fresh or fermented herbs)

This salad covers nearly any nutritionist's dreams: ptotein , healthy fats, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals.

I scooped out the guts of the sweet potato, added sf syrup, psyllium husk , and water to the guts. Mixed it & topped with sea salt & cinnamon. Then layered some banana slices on top & crushed up a cereal bar for some crunch.

What you’ll need:

1 ripe banana

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for protein + creaminess)

1/2 cup milk (dairy or almond/oat—your call)

1/4 cup rolled oats (this is what makes it lunch-worthy)

1 teaspoon honey (optional, depending on sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

A handful of ice

How to make it:

Toss everything into a blender.

Blend until smooth and thick.

Give it a quick taste—add more honey or cinnamon if you want.

Why this works:

The peanut butter + yogurt give you protein

Oats add fiber so you stay full

Banana brings natural sweetness and energy

If you want to switch it up:

Add cocoa powder for a chocolate version

Toss in spinach (you won’t really taste it, promise)

Swap peanut butter for almond butter

This was a fun (& ultimately delicious) experiment based on an idea I got off IG where someone used brown rice paper to approximate a croissant.

Ingredients + recipe (...w/terrible instructions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ):
- charred broccoli (roasted @ 425 for 25 minutes w/salt, pepper olive oil & lemon juice and/or sumac; broil for 30seconds/1min at the end if you like it really charred)
- EVOO + greek yogurt garlic aoli
- griddled turkey (olive oil or grapeseed oil on pan)
- feta
- pine nuts
- 1/2 avocado
- pickled cranberries (adds a sweet-tart acidic zing/tang)
- 3 brown rice paper rounds, dipped in 1-2 whisked eggs to soften the rice paper (placed on a cutting board, laid out slightly overlapping, like a horizontal venn diagram; filling/ingredients placed in a the middle, then roll the brown rice paper into a cylinder and shape it to something bagel-ish...)
- sprinkle everything bagel seasoning (dried garlic, dried onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flaky sea salt) on top of rolled "bagel"
- roast on 400 for 15 minutes or so.

Ate half for lunch and then had the other half with an over-easy egg on top for breakfast. Crispy, savory, tangy & delicious ...

UPDATE: I got some automated message from the Automoderator that my recipe/instructions weren't thorough enough; if anyone ends up being curious, happy to flesh this out a bit more...

This is my go-to plant based recipe when I am craving chocolate pudding or mousse but want something healthy- I blend together half of an avocado, one cup of unsweetened chocolate milk, and 2 scoops of any plant based chocolate protein powder (I like Ka'chava but any chocolate protein powder can be subbed in!). It's so good!

27g protein, 13g of fiber, low in sugar (8g) and it's just under 400 cals.

More almond milk will make it more like mousse and less milk will make it thicker like a pudding.

Quick and simple pickled purple cabbage I've been making lately:

~ 500ml water

~ 100ml apple cider vinegar

~ 200ml pickle juice(from a jar of pickles)

Mix everything together, pour over chopped purpe cabbage, and let it sit in the fridge over night.

That's it - super refreshing , slightly tange ,and really addictive!

By the way , Forgot to add this - a little bit of salt makes it even better!

I bought a frosted duck - it was on sale :) - and I defrosted it, put some salt, and baked! It's nice when baked together with potatoes and onions. Whole potatoes, skin is mandatory! Onions I usually cut in thick slices. I put it on top of a tray covered with grill.

How often you eat duck at home?! My kids loved it :)

I decided to make an experiment and follow my mom's steps. She eats cottage cheese almost every day with whatever she feels like adding to a particular serving.

So I mixed a portion of cottage cheese with strawberries, blueberries and nuts, decorated it with guess what's that orange thing in the middle (it gave my breakfast quite a fancy touch, btw) - no sugar! I paired it with a simple linden tea and it was so light and filling and felt healthy and... made me feel so stupid for eating too many eggs&bacon&toast throughout my life :) I could've done better with my body! Now that I've tasted the wisdom of my anscestors in a breakfast plate, I'm definitely not going back to fried American classics no matter how good they tasted to a younger me :)
