Indian Breakfast Salad - Power up with this fast, tasty & nutritious delight!

My family has enjoyed this recipe for many years. I'm told it is served as a side dish in India, but it makes a quick, yummy breakfast as well. 1/2 tsp. butter 2 tbs. slivered almonds (you can also use sliced) 2 medium bananas, thinly sliced 4 tbs. low-fat plain yogurt (or make this Greek yogurt for more protein as we often do, but it does make it thicker, rather than a more "pudding" texture.) 3 tbs. light sour cream 1 tbs. honey 1/8 tsp. ground cardamon or 1/4 tsp. ground c

POWERFUL anti-inflammatory seasoning mix

Inflammation in the body contributes to everything from arthritis to wrinkles. Why take a bunch of pills?

Yogurt Parfait - Power Meal Tastes Like Dessert!

Greek Yogurt 5.3 oz --I like Fage 2% as modest fat assist us in feeling full and staying that way.

Blueberries ½ cup -- antioxidant powerhouse, anti-inflammatory and “prebiotic” sets the stage for healthy probiotic growth -- the power pair. Walnuts ¼ cup (0 glycemic load, 191.25 cal, anti-inflammatory and great source of Manganese) -- it also adds crunch.

Sound like too much to do in one sitting? Try doing it as pre-made smoothies. I fill a blender once a week with fresh dark greens, an orange veggie like carrots, sweet potato or squash and fruit (comp
