Yogurt and fruit smoothie
Smoothies are a favorite, especially during summer. This yogurt and fruit smoothie uses only three ingredients: plain non-fat yogurt, frozen fruit (preferably pineapples, blueberries, or peaches), and pure fruit juice. Mix the yogurt with the juice in a blender and keep adding fruit in small amounts till you have a well-blended healthy smoothie. This smoothie is a good source of essential nutrients like vitamin C, A, calcium, magnesium, and iron.

Oatmeal, blueberry, and yogurt pancakes
This quick healthy eating recipe requires oatmeal, yogurt, egg, blueberries, and banana. Put all the ingredients, except blueberries, in the blender and blend until smooth. Then spread the mix on a pan at medium-low heat to prepare pancakes. Add a few blueberries to the top. This easy-to-make, filling, and protein-rich recipe is ready!

Scrambled tofu
Scrambled tofu is exceptionally healthy if made properly. It is high in protein and low in saturated fat. For this recipe, just crumble some tofu and fry it with cheesy nutritional yeast, paprika, turmeric, and cumin. It is a bit healthier than scrambled eggs and serves as a good breakfast option. Besides protein, this dish has all the essential amino acids to help you embrace healthy eating.

Tofu scramble breakfast burrito
If you love scrambled tofu, here is another must-try recipe. This yummy breakfast burrito has ingredients like green chilies, avocado, refried beans, and hints of cumin. And, of course, the tofu scram. Wrap all these in a tortilla and enjoy! If you want some extra greens, add three handfuls of spinach. To make it even tastier, whip jalapeno with vegan sour cream and turmeric to use as a dip or topping.

Omelet in a mug
Omelets are a healthy and easy breakfast option. You can make this one with cut-up cold meats of your choice, or skip them and just add eggs, salsa, and cheese in a mug. Put the mug into the microwave for a minute. Stir, and then cook for another thirty to 45 seconds. Add your seasonings as required, preferably herbs. Avoid butter, salt, or sauces to reduce fat intake.

Veggie fried rice
This ten-minute veggie fried rice recipe has healthy ingredients like brown rice, fresh herbs, garlic, frozen corn, creamy eggs, and ginger. All you have to do is stir-fry these in a pan or wok on medium to high heat. This meal is healthy and rich in vitamins A, C, protein, and iron. But it is suggested to use brown rice instead of white rice.

Oven-baked tostadas
This is one of those healthy eating recipes where you can be flexible with the ingredients and use healthy combinations of your choice. Bake a few tostada shells and place them on a plate. Baking takes only a few minutes and is better than frying. Once done, spread refried beans, diced tomatoes, sliced or diced jalapenos, fresh corn kernels, or any toppings of your choice on the shells. You can prep your toppings while baking to save time. This recipe contains vitamin A, calcium, fiber, and iron.

Broccoli and parmesan soup
This soup is full of vitamins A, B-6, and C and phytochemicals that help manage several illnesses. To begin, drop some olive oil in a saucepan and add garlic, broccoli florets, and vegetable broth. Once the mix simmers, transfer it into a blender to puree the soup. You can add parmesan cheese or skip it to make the recipe vegan-friendly. It is suggested to simmer the soup properly for that optimum flavor. Add a splash of vinegar or a little lemon juice to make the light soup more vibrant.

Egg avocado toast
A quick meal or snack, egg avocado toast is a must-have on your list of healthy eating food options. Just toast some whole grain bread and keep it aside. Then mash an avocado, poach an egg, and place them on the toast. Together, these ingredients provide healthy fats, protein, and carbs. You can sprinkle some parmesan cheese and fresh herbs for added flavor.

There are many things to consider while following healthy eating, like choosing the right ingredients and cooking methods. These nutritious and easy recipes are just a starting point. You will enjoy your meals more if they are visually appealing. So, spend some time on the presentation and try to make every meal special.
