What do you think of mixing cottage cheese and mustard into a dip and eating it with fruits, vegetables and chicken sausage?

2 corn tortillas

½ cup canned black beans, rinsed

2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese

2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cups mixed salad greens

¼ avocado, mashed

2 tablespoons pico de gallo or salsa

1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, rinsed

¼ cup slivered almonds

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 small clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

2 cups cooked quinoa

¼ cup Kalamata olives, chopped

¼ cup finely chopped red onion

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed

1 cup diced cucumber

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

In a blender, combine 1 cup coarsely chopped kale, 1 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tsp honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy

Tangy kefir offers gut-boosting benefits, that combined with raspberries, h**p seeds, and a peach may help you lower stress levels. But if you can’t find h**p seeds, add a tablespoon of almond butter for a comparable boost of magnesium, which is key in lowering stress.

Tropical flavors from pineapple, coconut, banana, and lime get a nutritional punch from baby spinach. It’s a health-packed cup for any time of day that’ll feel like a vacay on an island.

Red is our favorite color in this ruby smoothie packed with strawberries, raspberries, and beets. It’ll give you a ton of gut-friendly fiber, and a refreshing sip from the surprising addition of mint.

Who says smoothies are only for sipping? Blend together frozen blueberries, almond milk, almond butter, and vanilla until ultra-creamy and divine. Once you divide into two bowls, decorate with fresh blueberries, h**p seeds, vanilla granola, and more for the breakfast bowl of your dreams.
