This bowl is named Vitality Bowl for a reason! It’s replete with iron (dates), B12 and vitamin D (fortified plant-based milk), calcium (tahini and sesame seeds), zinc (oats), and omega-3s (hemp seeds). It’s also packed with prebiotic fiber from the banana and cacao nibs, if you choose to use them. Make this delightful smoothie bowl even tastier and more nutritious by swirling in your favorite nut butter and/or adding some colorful berries.

Picture this — a delightful apple pie aroma captivates your senses and gently nudges you in the morning as you move to start the day. And, all you need to do is walk into the kitchen to serve yourself a bowl of this comforting and nourishing breakfast. It’s waiting for you because you prepped it the night before! Amaranth and teff take the place of oats to add variety and inspiration to your recipe repertoire. Enjoy all that their nutty flavors, plenty of nutrition, and a fun texture to start your day.

Looking to put that Instant Pot to use? We couldn’t think of a better way to use it than this recipe from Ocean himself! Not only can you add all of the ingredients and walk away (no more oatmeal boiling over!), but you can also feel good knowing that this savory oatmeal is full of ingredients — think turmeric, kale, oats, garlic, and more! — that support optimal health.

If you enjoy a savory breakfast, this one's for you! It’s also for you if you like recipes that are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, because this bowl is delicious any time of day. It calls for millet, but feel free to experiment with any organic whole grain you like. It’s also packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients thanks to the variety of colorful vegetables. Honestly, it’s almost too pretty to eat! Pro-tip: Make it the night before so the dressing has time to marinate the grains and veggies, creating even more delicious flavors (it’s great hot or cold!).

If a warm, comforting cereal is your breakfast jam and you haven’t yet tried teff then we highly recommend giving this Apple Cinnamon Teff Porridge a go. Teff is naturally sweet and nutty on its own, therefore you don’t need much in the way of added sweetness to make this porridge delicious. Add apples, cinnamon, dates, and walnuts for more naturally sweet and nutty flavors and, if you’d like it a bit more sweet, just a touch of maple will do.

Lavender contributes a floral flavor while lemon adds some brightness and poppy seeds lend a little crunch to these lovely Lavender Lemon Poppy Scones. Get ready, because the aroma will make them hard to resist straight out of the oven!

Even if you’re not a fan of winter, these edible, naturally sweet snowballs are something you’ll most likely enjoy making and then eating as a mid-afternoon snack or after-dinner treat. Because coconut is reminiscent of snowflakes, these bite-sized snacks also create a sense of cheer as a display on your kitchen table. Cranberries are chock-full of vitamin C and fiber while coconut is packed with manganese, copper, and even more fiber!

Was your favorite childhood sandwich a good old pb&j? Well, envision the same yumminess, but instead of white bread with processed nut butter and sugar-filled jelly, you get energizing oats, satisfying nut butter, and antioxidant-rich strawberries chia spread. This protein-packed, fiber-filled snack can help to keep you fueled throughout the day. Even if you weren’t a pb&j kid, you might just become a pb&j adult!

These buckwheat chia pancakes will swoon flapjack aficionados and convert those who typically shun pancakes for breakfast. Their light texture, nutty flavor and nutritious ingredients redefine pancakes as you know them. Bonus that they also make a delicious snack in the afternoon or energizing fuel before exercise!
