  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chia seeds (optional)

  2. Berry Yogurt Parfait: In a glass or bowl, layer 1 cup Greek yogurt with a handful of frozen or fresh mixed berries. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup over the top. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chia seeds or granola for crunch. Repeat layers if container is tall. Enjoy immediately or chill for 10 minutes.
  3. Overnight Oats: Combine ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup milk or milk alternative, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon honey in a jar or bowl. Add ½ cup frozen berries and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, stir and top with sliced banana or nuts.
  4. Banana and Spinach Smoothie: In a blender, combine 1 ripe banana, 1 handful fresh spinach, 1 cup milk or milk alternative, and ¼ cup Greek yogurt. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
  5. Cheesy Veggie Toast: Preheat oven broiler or toaster oven. Toast 2 slices whole grain bread lightly. Top each slice with chopped spinach or kale, 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of pepper. Place under broiler for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep heat low when scrambling eggs to avoid rubbery texture. Overnight oats should chill fully for best creaminess. Use frozen berries and pre-washed greens for convenience. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions are easy to make. Store overnight oats up to 3 days in fridge; parfaits best eaten same day. Reheat eggs gently to avoid drying out.
