Directions

  • Take one slice of whole grain bread and toast it. 
  • Top toast with avocado, and make it a bit smashed. 
  • Add garbanzo beans, tomatoes, feta cheese, and fresh basil leaves (dried is fine if fresh isn’t an option). 
  • Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and add salt and pepper to taste. 

Directions

  • Take ¾ cup of yogurt
  •  Top with berries, nuts, chia seeds and cinnamon. 

Directions

  • Add ½ cup bone broth to ¼ cup lentils in a container, and put in the refrigerator overnight (you can do the same with the rolled oats OR you can skip this step if your time is limited!). 
  • Add lentil and bone broth mixture to a pot and boil until lentils are tender, then set aside (tip: you can also use an Instapot for quick cooking). 
  • Cook oats with 1 cup bone broth in a separate pot, and set aside once cooked.
  • Next, in a non-stick skillet, heat avocado oil. 
  • Add mushroom, kale, and garlic to the skillet, and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until mushrooms are browned and kale is wilted. Add oats, lentils, mushroom, kale, and toss in chili powder. 
  • Drizzled with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. 
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Top with poached, hard-boiled, or pan-fried egg if desired for extra protein!
  • Pro tip: choosing to soak your lentils and oats overnight will speed up the cooking process!
