Overnight oats make for a quick, on the go breakfast or hearty between-meal snack. They are balanced with just the right amount of macronutrients; plant protein, healthy fats and whole-grain carbs for extra fiber. It’s so simple.

Balance Your Breakfast with Oats
Did you know that 57% of Americans make time for breakfast every day? But that means 43% of us don’t! Eating a balanced meal in the morning helps regulate blood sugar, improves our food choices later in the day and helps us maintain a healthier weight. What you choose to eat in the morning does…

Super Easy Homemade Granola (you’ll never buy it again)

So I gathered the ingredients (oats, brown sugar, maple…

Guacamole Egg Salad on Toast
Here’s a fast, workday, protein-rich breakfast using hard-boiled eggs I made over the weekend. It’s also a great idea to spend a few minutes on the weekend prepping some veggies so you can use them all week. This breakfast took me about 3 minutes to assemble. I toasted whole grain bread (I like Ezekial). While…
