Recipe: homemade Greek yogurt

Berry Feast: Crushed blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, honey, ginger and nuts

Whether for breakfast, dessert, or a snack, this combination of berries with honey and thick yogurt is practically unbeatable—and a pinch of freshly grated ginger makes it even better. Fresh or frozen berries are mashed and heated to release their juices. Start by placing a handful of blueberries in a saucepan over medium heat, mashing them with a fork and cooking until the juices release. Stir in the blackberries and simmer until softened. Finally, stir in the raspberries, a pinch of finely grated ginger, and honey to taste. Add to the yogurt and top with toasted almonds, pistachios, or walnuts. Garnish with thin slices of crystallized ginger, if desired.

Carrot cake: grated carrots, chopped dates, toasted coconut flakes, cardamom, cinnamon and maple syrup

Enjoy your favorite carrot cake flavors without the cake itself! Cardamom is especially delicious paired with toasted coconut and Medjool dates. For dessert or breakfast, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle generously with cinnamon.

Superfoods: Goji, chia, ground flax seeds, and blueberries

Goji berries and blueberries are rich in antioxidants, flax seeds contain omega-3 acids, and chia seeds boost endurance: this combination is perfect for a morning meal. For a boost of healthy fats and an extra energy boost, drizzle with coconut oil.

Cherry Oatmeal Cookies: toasted rolled oats, chopped hazelnuts, dried cherries, cacao nibs, and fresh cherries

This interesting oatmeal cookie variation has a wonderful flavor thanks to toasted oats and hazelnuts. Fresh or dried cherries can be used, plus honey or maple syrup to taste. Cacao nibs impart a pleasant dark chocolate flavor, but you can substitute a few chocolate chips or your favorite chopped dark chocolate.

Energy Boost: Matcha, Raw Cacao Chocolate Sauce, Kiwi, and Blackberry

This breakfast or midday snack will help you stay alert and focused. Matcha tea is rich in antioxidants and promotes mental clarity without the negative effects of caffeine. Paired with wholesome raw cacao, it will prepare you for any challenge. Make homemade chocolate sauce with almond butter (or another nut butter), raw cacao or cocoa powder, honey, or maple syrup to taste, and thin with water to your desired consistency. Pour the sauce over yogurt in swirls and use a small strainer to sprinkle matcha powder on top. Kiwi and berries add a tangy-sweet flavor and vibrant color.
