Good Morning!
This morning I decided to have one of my all time favorites.
1 slice Whole-Wheat Toast with 1/2 Tablespoon Almond Butter and 1/2 Banana sliced and a cup of FAGE Total Greek Yogurt 0%

It always tastes soo good, like I am having desert for breakfast! But the illusion is that it couldn’t be more healthy for you or a better boost to start off a lazy morning.

Lunch Time!
Spinach Salad with an Edamame combo and Garlic Hummus
Ingredients:
1 Plate of Local Organic Spinach Salad
1 Tablespoon of Garlic Hummus
2 Tablespoons of Edamame combo
1 Tablespoon of Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/2 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
* I bought this pre-made, but you could easily make your own! (includes Edamame, tomato, onion, and black beans)
Preparation:
1. Wash your salad! Then place it on a brimmed dish
2. Top with Edamame combo and Hummus
3. Dress with Vinaigrette and Olive Oil
4. Cut and toss with a knife and fork so all the leaves are coated with both hummus and dressing
5. Enjoy!!
Today’s Breakfast:
Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Salsa!
Ingredients:
1 Large Organic* Egg
1 Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon of Fresh Salsa*
*I used Land-O-Lakes large, brown, organic eggs and My Brother Bobby’s All Natural Salsa. Any variation can be found at your local health food store or grocery store that sells organic options.
Preparation:
If you would like to make your own fresh salsa, here is a great recipe!
Salsa
1 bunch cilantro (1/2 cup cilantro leaves)
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Make the salsa: Hold the cilantro under running water to wash off the dirt. Pinch the leaves off the stems, coarsely chop the leaves, and put them in a small bowl with the remaining salsa ingredients. Toss thoroughly until everything is blended together. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
