My son loves smoothies, but they’re one of the harder foods to fit into his diet because of the high carb load. The solution: I make my own with less sugar by freezing pre-weighed fruit and yogurt, ready to be emptied into a blender for a quick morning meal.
Give your kids the treat of a fruit smoothie and sneak some veggies into them without them even knowing it. This one’s full of nutrient-dense ingredients like avocado and spinach paired with juicy pineapple and mango.
Berries are great for our kiddos with type 1: They have a low glycemic index and are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. Coconut water lends yummy flavor without all the sugar of fruit juice.
Overnight oats are a quick way to prepare breakfast the night before, while easily incorporating your favorite fresh fruits, dairy, protein, and more—without the added sugar and artificial ingredients of most instant oatmeal options.
Sometimes between activities and work schedules it simply doesn’t work to get everyone around the table at the same time in the evening. So how about getting that quality time in at the beginning of the day instead? Get started with these delicious breakfast recipes that can all be prepared ahead of time.
Did you know that waffles aren’t the only thing you can cook in a waffle iron? Get more use out of yours by making these incredible waffled eggs. They have the same fun shape as waffles but without all of the carbs.
This egg casserole is the epitome of simple but provides a wholesome, protein-packed meal to start your day. It requires just a few simple steps to assemble the night before; the slow cooker does the rest of the work for you while you sleep, and in the morning you have a delicious, nutritious breakfast waiting for you. It doesn’t get any better than that!
