Raspberry-Date Smoothie

Raspberry-Date Smoothie Recipe

You’ll often find silken tofu in shelf-stable packages on the Asian foods aisle. We call for Mori-Nu brand because one package will provide exactly what you need for this 3-day meal plan. The squeeze-pack of almond butter is convenient and contains only what you need for this recipe. But if you have almond butter in your pantry, just use 2 tablespoons.

Avo-Berry Smoothie Bowls Recipe

Start your day with a rich, creamy smoothie bowl full of anti-inflammatory foods. Aside from easing inflammation, this breakfast offers you the heart-healthy benefits of avocados’ unsaturated fats, plus more than half your daily fiber in one serving—enough to help keep you full until lunchtime. Keep the berries frozen (both the ones blended into the smoothie and the ones on top of the bowl) for great texture.

Smoothies are a great way to front-load your day with produce and nutrition. Just one serving of this power breakfast offers about two-thirds of the day's calcium and nearly a quarter of potassium in a low-calorie package. Chia seeds amp up fiber and protein, plus they're one of the richest plant sources of heart-healthy alpha-linoleic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid).

Cucumber Smoothies

Cucumber Smoothies Recipe

Yogurt drinks are popular across the Middle East and South Asia. We like ours with puréed cucumber and herbs, plus a spritz of club soda. If the cucumber peels and seeds are tender, they don't need to be removed.
