Loaded ToastBy Life and Health NetworkThe only knife-and-fork toast you’ll ever eat.Overnight Chia-Oat PuddingBy Life and Health NetworkChia seeds are fascinating little bundles of Omega-3s. When they’re soaked in water, a gelatinous coating forms around the seed, very much like tomato seeds. I like mashed banana in this because it thickens the mixture while adding a lot of volume. If the pudding is too thin for your liking, you can add more chia seeds and let it sit for 10 more minutes.Blueberry-Oatmeal PancakesBy Life and Health NetworkDue to the addition of oats in this recipe, these pancakes are a little denser and heartier than the Simple Pancakes. Make a big steaming stack and serve them with a mug of warm tea for a cozy winter breakfast.Oven-Baked Hash BrownsBy Life and Health NetworkCrispy-crunchy and a perfect accompaniment to any sit-down breakfast. If you don’t have the time to peel and shred potatoes, get a bag of frozen, pre-shredded hash browns at your local market and skip the first couple steps.Gravy on ToastBy Life and Health NetworkThink: biscuits & gravy. Then, think: gravy on toast? That’s much healthier. I think I’ll go with that instead! Trust me, you won’t miss the biscuit with a good slice of artisan bread and this thick, savory nut gravy. It’s the kind of breakfast that will warm you up on the chilliest of winter mornings.Portobello SandwichBy Life and Health NetworkPortobello mushrooms make a great meat substitute. And they are low in calories, a good source of protein, B vitamins, minerals and have good anti-inflammatory effects.Sweet Potato BurgersBy Life and Health NetworkThe soft sweet potato blends with the stiffer garbanzo bean to create a firm, yet tender burger, perfect in a bun or as an entree.Tangy Herb Salad DressingBy Life and Health NetworkThis versatile dressing can be used on salads but also works great as a dip.Chili Cheeze Baked PotatoBy Life and Health NetworkA plain baked potato only has 160 calories with only 1% of calories from fat. They rate high in satiety, meaning they help fill you up, so you may eat less. Potatoes also contain proteinase inhibitors, which may suppress appetite. How you prepare a potato is important. So toss the sour cream and butter and top with a tasty 3-bean chili!
