BREAKFAST

Spinach-Potato Scramble with Parmesan: 

In a skillet coated with 2 teaspoons olive oil, sauté 2 cups baby spinach and 1 cup shredded potato until golden and tender. Whisk together 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites; add to skillet. Top scramble with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper; serve with 1/2 cup grapes.

Nut Butter, Banana Toast

Try this superfood twist on classic PB and toast with 1/2 a banana (sliced) and a sprinkle of chia, which is packed with vitamins and minerals (like six times more calcium than milk!).

Avocado Toast with Egg

Sometimes simple is just better. Top two lightly toasted slices of whole-grain bread with smashed avocado and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Layer on two sunny-side up eggs for a healthy dose of protein, and you've got a well-rounded breakfast. Stack 'em in a tupperware container for easy transport or cook the yolks a bit more and make the whole thing into a sandwich.

LUNCH - I’m usually not home for lunch, so it ends up being a protein shake
