Apple pie breakfast cookies are like having apple cinnamon oatmeal, pie, cookies, and granola all rolled into one on-the-go apple breakfast treat! They taste decadent, but really just have the same ingredients as oatmeal, with some added protein from the egg. It's like taking a bowl of oatmeal on the road. The apple pie flavor is super comforting and easier than making a whole pie. They are so fast and easy to make. You can freeze them and let them defrost as you make your morning coffee. You can also store them in an air-tight container and enjoy them all week long.

We like to use regular old-fashioned oats, but if you like a softer texture, you can use instant oats. The consistency of the dough will be very similar. If you don't have some of the spices on hand, they also taste delicious with just the cinnamon. Using farm fresh apples during the fall season, make these breakfast cookies especially delicious.

It's important to chill the dough before you bake them so that they don't flatten out and maintain their chewy texture. Also, make sure to use real maple syrup! If you don't have real maple syrup, you could use another kind of natural syrup, like agave. The base of this recipe is printed with permission from Amy's Healthy Baking.

The acai is pureed when it is frozen so it becomes like a sorbet. It is typically topped with granola, some kind of fruit, and honey. It's nice to mix it up with different kinds of fruits and types of granolas. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and bananas are super popular fruit toppings. You can also substitute fruits like papaya, kiwi, or mango to make this tropical acai bowl even more colorful. Adding seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds are tasty additions that add some nice texture and nutrition.

There are a few brands of acai puree, and you can usually find them in health food stores. Just be aware that some are unsweetened, and some are sweetened. If you are using unsweetened, adding the pineapple and honey will sweeten the bowl. Add a little more honey you like.

2 pouches frozen acai puree
1/4 cup orange juice, or other juice
1 teaspoon candied ginger

When needing a breakfast-on-the-go, it's easy to grab a power bar or pastry, but those options are high in sugar and fat. These egg muffins made with quinoa and spinach are a wholesome alternative that is easy to put together and can be made ahead and frozen for a quick breakfast or snack at any time. This recipe is also great for Christmas morning or as part of a brunch buffet, especially since the muffins are vegetarian and gluten-free.

A great way to use up any leftover quinoa, this dish is high in vegetarian protein, offering a boost of energy to start the day. Feel free to add other vegetables such as chopped tomato, asparagus pieces, or chopped bell pepper. Or, if you don't need them to be vegetarian, include breakfast sausage or bacon. The shredded cheese can be any flavor you choose, from sharp cheddar to pepper jack to Brie cheese.

Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion (chopped)
1 cup (loosely packed) spinach (4 ounces)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup grated cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Are you looking for a little something extra in your smoothie? You may not have thought about using cinnamon to add some spice to banana or peanut butter smoothies. These drinks are delicious, but the flavor can be lacking in an element that brings some heat. Cinnamon adds that burst of spice that brightens the whole drink.

This recipe, which requires a blender, makes one medium (about 12-ounces) or two small (about 6-ounce) smoothies.

Ingredients
1 cup vanilla soy or skim milk
1 large fresh or frozen ripe banana, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons peanut butter, preferably natural
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon honey, or turbinado sugar, optional
3 large ice cubes

Tortilla Press Hacks
This wrap is super easy to whip together on a weekday morning. You can also make a bunch of these on the weekend and then wrap them and freeze them! They can be reheated in the microwave or toaster oven. Simply scramble more eggs and have plenty of tortillas on hand! Egg whites can also be substituted. There is always a debate as to whether whole eggs or egg whites are better for you! I go for the whole eggs to get the nutrients from the yolks, but either way, packs a ton of protein!

Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
4 Kalamata olives, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
1 white or whole-wheat tortilla
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
