Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake
My thick and creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake is not only nutritious, but super delicious! Full of healthy ingredients, this protein shake recipe for two may be really good for you, but it tastes like a chocolate milkshake! Although this is a plant-based recipe, it can easily be made with dairy milk and whey protein powder. This also makes a great on-the-go meal replacement for one!
Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon
Our Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon is a very quick and tasty, savory breakfast. Accompanied with a side salad, it also makes a wonderful and healthy light lunch. Creamy avocado slices are combined with thick sliced smoked salmon and briny capers, which are layered on toasted European-style whole grain bread. We finished it with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice and our homemade Quick Pickled Onions for a European style tartine (open faced sandwich).
Ricotta Toast with Kumquat Marmalade
Our Ricotta Toast with Kumquat Marmalade is a sweet and savory treat that will delight your taste buds! This quick and easy 5 ingredient recipe is so simple, and takes only five minutes to put together. We took the ordinary ricotta toast recipe and pimped it up by using our delicious Kumquat Marmalade that has no refined sugar. This nutritious breakfast and afternoon snack has an extra tart and sweet flavor that we think you will love. If you’ve never had ricotta toast, then you are in for a treat! Can be made gluten-free.
