Consider an exciting and delicious alternative to morning granola with this nourishing Buckwheat Muesli.

Note that, while this recipe comes together very quickly, it does require presoaking the buckwheat.

Looking for a healthy morning egg substitute that captures the texture of eggs? Enter mung beans! These split beans make a great substitute for eggs due to their texture and protein. They also have zinc, magnesium, and lots of fiber — something eggs cannot claim. P.S. For all of you nutrition wiz kids, as you probably know, soaking split mung beans and cooking them on the stovetop will help to decrease the phytic acid that can interfere with the absorption of minerals.

Shakshuka is a popular and flavorful dish with cultural ties to North Africa and is just as beloved throughout the Middle East. Traditionally made with poached eggs that are simmered in a rich, spiced tomato sauce, each place has slight variances to their version of the dish, but peppers, eggs, and tomatoes are commonly used. We swapped the eggs for hearty and flavorful chickpea dumplings and turned the veggie factor way up. Simmered in a tri-color pepper and spinach tomato sauce with plenty of herbs and spice, this shakshuka is the definition of healthy comfort food. Although this dish requires a bit of preparation, it's an ideal meal to make for weekly meal prep as this shakshuka gets better the longer the flavors meld together.

Loaded with plenty of rich flavors and textures, Beet and Turmeric Freekeh Bowl is truly a nourishing delight. This dish starts with a fragrant base of organic freekeh, delicately spiced with earthy turmeric and onion powder, and seasoned with just a hint of black pepper (if you’d like).

Adding to the crunch and nuttiness are walnuts, while a splash of lemon juice brings a refreshing citrus zing. Choose your favorite sprouts to garnish, adding a fresh and crisp finish. This bowl is a delightful exploration of tastes and textures, combining traditional ingredients like beets and turmeric with the unique, nutty flavor of freekeh.

Ful medames, also simply known as fūl, is an Egyptian stew made with cooked (then smashed) fava beans, olive oil, and cumin. Other optional ingredients include parsley, garlic, onion, and lemon juice. Ful medames are traditionally made in and served out of a large metal jug and are often eaten for breakfast. However, there are many ways to enjoy this dish, including as a side to leafy greens, as a dip for veggies, or as a spread in a wrap.

This breakfast dish is not only big on flavor, but it’s also big on nutrition. Lentils and walnuts are both packed with protein and fiber, plus walnuts are one of the best sources of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. Then, the icing on the cake (or, in this case, veggie sausage in the greens!) — it’s wrapped in a delicious collard leaf. This veggie-packed breakfast rollup may require a few more steps than your usual breakfast choice, but we promise it's completely worth the effort!
