2. Blueberry-ginger Smoothie

Smoothies, we will never tire of you. Currently, we’re all about this dreamy, creamy blueberry-ginger smoothie recipe. The recipe uses coconut milk and coconut milk yogurt, so it's dairy-free and paleo-friendly. Plus it's sweet, tangy and ever-so-slightly spicy.

3. Green Shakshuka

Sick of scrambled eggs? Time to meet shakshuka, an egg dish that’s popular in Israel for breakfast but equally delicious for lunch or dinner. The OG version is made with tomato sauce, but we love this fun twist: a spicy green shakshuka with spinach and jalapeño. Best of all, it's dairy- and grain-free and deceptively easy to make.

Plus, with 19 grams of protein they’ll leave you satisfied (and not reaching for the potato chips).

7. Gwyneth Paltrow’s Blueberry Cauliflower Smoothie

One of our favorite recipes in Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook, The Clean Plate: Eat, Reset, Heal is her blueberry cauliflower smoothie. (Yep, you heard us.)

“With antioxidant-rich blueberries and protein-packed almond butter, this smoothie is one I often throw together after a workout,” Paltrow explains in her book. “Buy organic wild blueberries, if you can find them.”

The mighty cruciferous vegetable makes the smoothie filling and creamy, like adding a banana—but with less sugar and fewer carbs.

No oven needed.
