A Creamy AVOCADO TOAST
Avocado toast is basically the easiest thing in the world to make, and good for you thanks to avocado's plentiful Omega-3's. But it tastes so luxurious, you'll feel like you're cheating at life when you eat one. It's also, BTW, very chic.
A simple avocado toast is just toast (stick with whole grain for more fiber and nutrients) + avocado (sliced or mashed) + sea salt + red pepper. But that's just the beginning; you can top it with an egg, a drizzle of nice olive oil, or try this avocado + feta + pomegranate toast for a sweet and savory mix. The options are endless. Go crazy. Run free.
Nutritious OATMEAL
Hot oatmeal on a cold morning is a winter survival necessity. It's also a great way to stay full until lunch and an excellent source of soluble fiber, the kind that helps keep your cholesterol levels down. You can make it on the stove, in the microwave, or in a slow-cooker. In warm weather, you can make overnight oats in the fridge without lifting a finger. Get lots more smart oatmeal tips here.
A Filling GREEN SALAD
If you think salads are for rabbits, you haven't met the right one yet. A few tips: Use fresh vegetables — anything canned should be an add-on, not the main event, or you'll end up with a soggy, sad salad. Add a little bit of protein like meat, eggs, beans, nuts, if you want the salad to be a full meal. Make sure you give yourself a good mix of crunchy ingredients, like raw cabbage, cucumber or nuts, and soft ones, like tomatoes, cooked vegetables or beans.
The most important step is to make your own delicious (and healthier) homemade dressing. A simple Dijon vinaigrette always works, but feel free to try something more adventurous, too. If you're looking for a full recipe to get inspired, try this kale and Brussels sprout salad or this Asian chicken salad.
