1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions: Here’s how to prepare each recipe:
Breakfast Smoothie:
Blend the banana, spinach, almond milk, chia seeds, and berries until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Healthy Avocado Toast:
Toast the bread to your preferred crispiness. While it's toasting, slice the avocado in half and scoop it out into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with sea salt. Spread the mashed avocado on the toast. Top with red pepper flakes or a poached egg for extra protein.
Veggie Stir-Fry:
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Add the soy sauce, garlic, and ginger powder and stir well. Serve over quinoa or brown rice for a balanced meal.
Homemade Energy Bars:
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, and chocolate chips. Stir until fully mixed. Press the mixture into a lined baking dish and refrigerate for about 2 hours to set. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Breakfast Smoothie: Serve immediately after blending to enjoy the fresh taste. You can store any leftover smoothie in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
Healthy Avocado Toast: This is best served immediately for the freshest flavor. You can prepare the avocado ahead of time but should store it in the fridge with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Veggie Stir-Fry: Leftover stir-fry can be refrigerated for 1-2 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water to retain moisture.
Homemade Energy Bars: Store these bars in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
