Our Whole Wheat Carrot Muffins are full of heart-healthy ingredients — along with whole wheat flour, walnuts, and canola oil, we add one cup of grated carrots for extra moisture. These little powerhouses are great for a quick breakfast on-the-go or an afternoon snack with a cup of hot tea. They’re low in sugar but […]
By itself, our avocado toast makes a delicious breakfast or snack. But we like to go a step further and top it with a salad of mixed baby greens dressed in a light vinaigrette. It’s a healthy, plant-based option that’s perfect for brunch or as a starter for a meal.
Our blueberry cornmeal pancakes are fluffy and light-textured, thanks to buttermilk and a combination of baking powder and baking soda. The cornmeal sets them apart from traditional pancakes, making them great for lunch or a quick evening meal. We love to add blueberries to our pancakes just because they taste so good, but the pancakes […]
Mangos are high in fiber and contain large amounts of vitamin C and beta-carotene. When ripe and juicy, they make a delicious smoothie or fruit sorbet.

This blackberry orange quick bread is so good it can almost double as a dessert. It’s made with extra virgin olive oil for a healthy alternative to classic butter recipes. The addition of orange zest helps balance the flavor of the olive oil and complements the sweet taste of the berries.

Making granola takes a little bit of time, but the results are well worth it. You don’t have to worry about artificial flavors, high fructose corn syrup, or any other additives. I use pure maple syrup to sweeten this granola. Nuts are packed with a wide range of essential nutrients, and I’ve chosen some of our favorites. […]
This roasted pear recipe is a delicious dessert that’s healthy and easy to make. Bosc pears work well here because the flesh is firmer than in other varieties, and they seem to hold up better when baking. I like to serve them with plain Greek yogurt and a little bit of the orange lime syrup drizzled […]
This easy to prepare recipe is almost as simple as opening a package of waffle mix, but it tastes so much better, and it’s healthier because you’re in control of all the ingredients.
