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.

We swapped the eggs for hearty and flavorful chickpea dumplings and turned the veggie factor way up.

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.
