Green Tahini Power Smoothie

September 2, 2018 by Melina Thompson Leave a Comment

I started making smoothies in the morning a couple of months ago and been figuring out the best recipes that everyone in the family loves. It is just such a quick and easy breakfast snack in the morning, and even if we don’t have time for an actual breakfast at home before we go off to school/work, there’s always time to drink a delicious smoothie. That’s why I’m packing them with as many nutrients as possible and this Green Tahini Power Smoothie is one of my personal favorites, and everyone loves it. It’s made with bananas, spinach, tahini and matcha tea powder, and is therefore high in fiber, folate, antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron. The matcha tea powder adds just enough healthy caffeine for a powerful start in the day….

It’s back to school! I can honestly say – finally! I’m glad to be back in our routine, be done with summer camps, and she is seriously excited. Back to school also means back to preparing lunches and healthy easy breakfasts. My favorites are nutritious pancakes or waffles, like these kid-friendly and yummy – yet healthy, gluten-free and dairy-free – coconut protein pancakes. They are easy to prepare ahead of time for busy weekday mornings and are low-sugar and protein and fiber packed – and keep in the freezer for up to 3 weeks….

These Coconut & Honey Oat Waffles are one of my breakfast staples! So healthy – for a great start in the day – and the combination of honey and coconut is second to none. You might have noticed after I posted the Maca Pancakes with Wild Blueberries the other day, that I opened a new category in my recipe section – Breakfast. I cannot believe I went on for 5 years on this blog without that category! I am an absolute breakfast person, it seriously is the best meal of the day for me. …

Holiday Spice Buns

I am a little late with this post, I actually made these Holiday Spice Buns for Thanksgiving morning this year. They were a hit, to say the least! I decided to start this as a family tradition, because it makes Thanksgiving day breakfast more festive and starts the day off right… and I just love, love love, yeast buns. Well, anything yeast, really. So I did a lot of recipe searching and tweaking before I ended up with these and I nailed it! Soft, fluffy, delicious. I will stick to this recipe for sure and make these again… like for Christmas.
