Anti Inflammatory Cherry Spinach Smoothie
This healthy smoothie is not only delicious—it also provides anti-inflammatory foods. It starts with a base of creamy gut-friendly kefir and includes cherries, which can lower the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Heart-healthy fats in avocado, almond butter and chia seeds deliver additional anti-inflammatory compounds, while spinach offers a mix of antioxidants that sweep up harmful free radicals. Fresh ginger adds zing, plus a compound called gingerol, which preliminary studies suggest may improve inflammatory markers of heart disease if consumed daily.
Spinach & Egg Tacos
Hard-boiled eggs are combined with spinach, cheese and salsa for a quick, flavorful breakfast. Mashed avocado provides a creamy element, while a squeeze of lime juice brings acidity.
Chicken Madeira
Juicy chicken is smothered in a rich mushroom sauce, which gets its depth of flavor from combining beef broth and sweet Madeira wine. Easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but elegant enough to serve for a dinner party!
Raspberry Yogurt Cereal Bowl
For breakfast, a snack or a healthy dessert, try using yogurt instead of milk for your cereal. If you're making this as a to-go snack, keep the cereal separate and top just before eating.
Super Easy Chicken Fingers
These strips are so easy to make. They are my family's favorite. They also are good on rolls or bread for a yummy sandwich.
Savory Oatmeal with Chedda, Collards & Eggs
Have you tried savory oats yet? It's a nice change-up from the sweet way oatmeal is typically served, plus you get a full serving of vegetables. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
