Sometimes you just want to start off your Saturday with a hot breakfast. This frittata from The DASH Diet Cookbook is a heart-healthy, low-sodium way to get your protein in the morning. Try it for brunch!
It’s time to get your summer refreshments game on! This water infusion, with its combination of lemon and peppermint, is extremely refreshing. This combination is perfect for a super-hot day or an afternoon pick-me-up. Plus the Lemon Mint Ice Cubes can be used to dress up any water infusion, although they’re paired best with citrus.
One of the hardest things about transitioning to a healthy diet is how hungry you can feel, even after a meal. That’s why I recommend small meals and light snacks throughout the day, but you can also boost your satiety by eating foods that take a little longer to digest. Like avocados, for instance – they’re 72% water and 7% dietary fiber, which is a perfect combination to keep you feeling full. And lean meat like chicken breast has 19 grams of protein per serving but only 102 calories. Your body will get to work after eating these foods, breaking down more while leaving you feeling like you actually ate something.
It’s a well-established fact that I’m a super-fan of super-nutritious, super-powered green smoothies. They’re packed with nutritionally dense goodness, from the healthy fats to vitamins and minerals to antioxidants. But drinking smoothies from a straw can get – well, boring. Sometimes I just miss chewing! Smoothie bowls are a great way to switch up your breakfast. Just pour it into a bowl, top with your favorite ingredients, and eat it up with a spoon! You’ll get an extra dose of nutrition from your toppings and you can use whatever you want. You’ll get the satisfying mouth feel from your toppings, and eating it with a spoon will slow you down so you can savor your breakfast a little more.
Smoothies are a quick, easy, and delicious way to fit extra servings of fruits and vegetables into your day, and they’re great for on-the-go meals and snacks. This is one of my favorite springtime smoothies, because you can get perfect produce this time of year that packs in antioxidants from the berries, vitamins from the spinach, minerals from the banana, and healthy fat from the almond butter. Not only will you feel fuller longer with the healthy fat, but it helps your body absorb and digest minerals from the veggies, making this smoothie a great way to start your day out right!
