Step-by-Step Instructions + Preparation Tips

Step-by-Step Instructions

1) Avocado & Smoked Salmon Bowl

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a small bowl.
2. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp lemon juice over avocado; mash lightly to combine.
3. Fold in dill, salt, and pepper.
4. Arrange smoked salmon slices on top or mixed in. Add capers if using. Serve immediately.

2) Coconut Chia Pudding with Berries (quick version)

1. In a jar or bowl, combine 3 tbsp chia seeds, 1 cup coconut milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1 tsp erythritol.
2. Whisk for 30 seconds to reduce clumping.
3. Refrigerate 10–15 minutes for a quick set (or overnight for thicker pudding).
4. Top with 2 tbsp berries before serving.

3) Cauliflower Breakfast Hash

1. Heat 1 tbsp butter or oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
2. Add chopped bacon and cook 3–4 minutes until edges crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving fat in the pan.
3. Add diced onion and bell pepper; sauté 2–3 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in riced cauliflower, salt, and pepper. Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and lightly browned.
5. Return bacon to pan, toss with parsley, and serve hot.

4) Almond Flour Pancakes (egg-free using aquafaba)

1. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and optional sweetener.
2. Stir in 1/4 cup almond milk and 2 tbsp aquafaba until batter is smooth. Let rest 2 minutes to thicken.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and add 1 tbsp butter.
4. Pour 2–3 small pancakes worth of batter (about 2 tbsp each) into skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until set and golden. Flip carefully. Serve warm.

5) Greek Yogurt Nut Parfait

1. Spoon 3/4 cup Greek yogurt into a bowl.
2. Stir in 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
3. Top with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and chia seeds. Add sliced strawberries sparingly if desired. Serve immediately.

Preparation Tips

1. Prep once, eat all week: make a batch of chia pudding overnight for 3–4 breakfasts; portion and top fresh daily.
2. Control moisture in cauliflower: press thawed riced cauliflower between paper towels to avoid soggy hash.
3. Keep almond flour pancakes light: cook on low heat and let batter rest so aquafaba forms lift; flip gently.
4. Reheat with care: reheat cauliflower hash in a skillet rather than microwave to maintain texture.
5. Portion nuts: measure nuts to control calories and carbs — 2 tbsp is a good single-serve topping.
6. Swap proteins: use canned salmon or tuna in the avocado bowl if smoked salmon is too expensive.
