Cherry Cheesecake Smoothie is silky smooth with the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Antioxidant-rich cherries paired with creamy plant-based yogurt, nutty hemp seeds, and miso paste come together to make a vibrant plant-based treat that tastes like a dessert lover's dream!

Frosty, cool, and sweet, featuring the iconic pairing of espresso and chocolate, this smoothie is sure to be on your favorites list. Banana, dates, cacao powder, walnuts, and hemp seeds all provide important trace minerals such as magnesium, iron, potassium, and copper. Oats, dates, and cacao are also excellent sources of B vitamins, which help to support cellular energy production, making this an ideal smoothie for when you need some pep in your step.

One of the beautiful things about this wrap is that you can use any veggies from your fridge or growing from your garden to make it your own. Beginning the day with leafy greens, like kale, collards, or romaine is the perfect way to jump-start your morning with nutrition. Once you spread the hummus on your green wrap, start adding your favorite veggies — and get ready for some creamy crunch to stimulate your palate and a variety of nutrients to energize your body!

Morning oatmeal gets a playful perk of color and flavor with the addition of raspberries! Add fresh or frozen raspberries or other berries of choice. This simple recipe is satisfying and nourishing!

Sneaking some fiber into your family’s diet isn’t difficult when you use nutrient-dense, fiber-rich whole grain flours like buckwheat, which easily transforms into fluffy-on-the-inside, crispy-on-the-outside waffles. Buckwheat flour contains a whopping 12 grams of fiber per cup including prebiotic fiber and resistant starch that have been shown to feed healthy bacteria in the gut. Enjoy these waffles for breakfast, as a snack or as running fuel for long training sessions.

Cover your nutritional bases first thing in the morning with these scrumptious Blueberry Poppy Seed Pancakes. Get omega-3s from flax meal; fiber, protein, and iron from buckwheat; calcium from poppy seeds; and vitamin C from blueberries. What’s more, these fluffy pancakes also have an optimal blend of macronutrients plus lots of fiber that will help to balance blood sugar and keep you satiated throughout the morning.

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!).
