Berry Mint Kefir Smoothies

Drescription

Kefir is similar to yogurt, full of gut-friendly probiotics. But it has fewer carbs and a more drinkable consistency--perfect for smoothies.

Ingredients

1 cup low-fat plain kefir (see tip)
1 cup frozen mixed berries
¼ cup orange juice
1-2 tablespoons fresh mint
1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Combine kefir, berries, juice, mint to taste and honey in a blender. Process until smooth. (The smoothies will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or in the freezer for up to 3 months.)

Fish & Seafood

Fish Tacos on the Grill

My friend Guillermo is originally from Mexico City and is a great cook. Over the years, I’ve learned a number of authentic Mexican dishes by watching over his shoulder – including pico de gallo, savory sopes and killer huevos rancheros. But there's one recipe in particular that Guillermo taught me early on which I return to regularly for its freshness and simplicity: fish tacos.

Dinner

French Toast without Milk

This French toast without milk is perfect for those who like a more solid French toast. My son's friends really liked this and would ask for the recipe to take home for their moms to make! Serve with butter and syrup.

Pork

Pork Hash Brown Bake

Cheesy casserole of pork and hash browns, ideal for breakfast or a hearty dinner.

Dinner

Zucchini Noodle Primavera

This primavera recipe cuts carbs by swapping out the pasta for zucchini "noodles." This quick vegetarian dinner is chock-full of colorful vegetables smothered in a light, creamy sauce. We like using prepackaged spiralized zucchini noodles to keep this recipe ultra-fast, but if you have a spiralizer and zucchini on hand, you can easily make your own.
