Sweet and Salty Oat SconesBy Life and Health NetworkThese little round scones are a softer and chewier adaptation of oatcakes, a traditional Scottish hard crackers or biscuits that are served with jam, dip or on their own.
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.
Neapolitan Chia-Banana ParfaitBy Life and Health NetworkThis is as much a dessert as it is a breakfast. Seriously, when’s the last time you had dessert for breakfast, and didn’t feel guilty about it? These parfaits taste like a decadent frozen dessert, but only involve layers of overnight chia-seed pudding, frozen banana cream, and an array of mix-ins (or you can also plop everything in a bowl if you prefer not to layer them).
Summer Peach CrispBy Life and Health NetworkThere’s nothing like the old-fashioned goodness of a fruit crisp or cobbler. Enjoy this diabetic-friendly recipe guilt-free!

Peanut Butter & Banana BlondiesBy Life and Health NetworkA cookie bar with a ton of peanut butter flavor, this blondie has a healthy twist with the blended chickpeas.
Fresh Watermelon-Mango SaladBy Life and Health NetworkFew things are lovelier or more refreshing than a salad of freshly cut fruit. The only way to make an already-great fruit salad better?  A drizzle of bright, lightly sweet lime-agave dressing.
Mango & Coconut RiceBy Life and Health NetworkOne of the pleasures of home cooking is discovering that favorite, longed-for foods are quite simple to prepare. You don't have to go to a Thai restaurant to enjoy this comforting Asian classic.
