A savory-sweet breakfast salad with tons of super foods and a simple lemon vinaigrette. Just 20 minutes and 10 ingredients required. So healthy and flavorful, and perfect for spring and summer!
Ingredients
- 2 small sweet potato ((can sub 1 large for 1 small // cut into 1/4-inch discs then halved // organic when possible))
- 1 Tbsp avocado or coconut oil ((or sub water if avoiding oil))
- 1 pinch each salt and pepper
- 4 cups mixed greens and/or endive
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((or sub water if avoiding oil))

- 1 cup blueberries ((or other seasonal fruit // organic when possible))
- 1 medium ripe avocado ((chopped))
- 4 Tbsp (60 g) hummus, divided
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds ((optional))
- Fresh chopped parsley ((optional))
Instructions
- Heat a larger skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil (or water), sweet potatoes, salt, and pepper and stir to coat. Arrange in a single layer to ensure even cooking and place a lid on top to steam.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes. Then uncover and flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking. If browning too quickly, turn heat down to medium-low. Continue cooking until golden brown on both sides and tender – about 10-15 minutes total.
- In the meantime, prepare dressing by adding lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a small jar or mixing bowl and shaking or whisking to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon for acidity, oil for creamy texture, or salt and pepper for overall flavor. Set aside.
- To serve, divide greens between serving plates and top with roasted sweet potatoes, blueberries, avocado, hummus, hemp seeds (optional), and parsley (optional). Serve with dressing on the side.
- Enjoy immediately. Leftovers will keep (stored separate from dressing) for 2-3 days, though best when fresh. I like storing my salad dressing at room temperature (up to 2 days).

- ½ teaspoon Frontier Co-op garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained, or 3 cups cooked black beans
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 10 eggs
- 3 tablespoons cream or neutral-flavored milk of choice
- ¼ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

- Pinch of Frontier Co-op red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese or cheddar cheese, optional
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- Your favorite salsa
- Roasted breakfast potatoes, optional
Instructions
- To make the pico de gallo: In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Stir to combine, and set the pico de gallo aside to marinate while you make the remaining components.
- To cook the black beans: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion and a sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the cumin and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained beans and water. Stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, remove the lid and use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash up about at least half of the beans. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, stirring often, for 3 more minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the salt, pepper and lime juice. Taste and add more salt, pepper, lime juice if necessary. If the beans seem dry, add a very small splash of water and stir to combine. Cover until you’re ready to serve.
- To cook the eggs: In a medium mixing bowl, scramble the eggs with the cream or milk, salt, a few twists of freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. In a 10-inch non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet, warm 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Swirl the pan so it’s evenly coated with oil. Whisk your egg mixture one last time and pour it into the skillet.
- Scramble the eggs by pushing the mixture around until it’s about 90 percent set. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the cheese, if using.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the beans and scrambled eggs evenly into 4 bowls. Stir the pico de gallo again, and use a slotted spoon or fork to divide the pico de gallo into the bowls, leaving the watery tomato juice in the bowl. Top each bowl with a few slices of thinly sliced avocado, and serve with your favorite salsa, and optional roasted potatoes on the side.

21. Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Bowl
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Bowl is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.
Recipe details: Prep: PT5M · Total: PT5M · Yield: [‘1’, ‘1 bowl’]
This peanut butter banana smoothie bowl is creamy, nutty, and so easy to make! It’s a healthy recipe that tastes just like soft serve ice cream. Enjoy it for breakfast or as a nutritious dessert!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup nondairy milk (such as almond or coconut)
Instructions
- Add ingredients to the blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Note: Adjust the amount of liquid as needed, but I highly suggest keeping it to 1/4 cup or less. Remember more liquid creates a thinner smoothie while less liquid creates a thicker smoothie. If you want it to be super thick and creamy, try to use the least amount of liquid as possible. If you have a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix blender), you can get by with no liquid at all.
- Transfer smoothie to a bowl. Add any desired toppings and enjoy with a spoon.
