Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle.<\/p>\n

This strawberry-mango chia seed smoothie is a nutrient-packed drink rich in fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds provide a plant-based source of protein and help keep you feeling full longer. You can use frozen strawberries and mango, but you\u2019ll need to add extra almond milk to help it blend smoothly.\n<\/p>\n

Eggs in Purgatory, an Italian favorite, involves gently cooking eggs in tomato sauce (with some regional variations) and can fit neatly into breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our rendition features anchovies for an infusion of savory flavor, and baby spinach to pack in extra veggies. Cracking the eggs in a bowl before you slide them into the pan will ensure that you don\u2019t get unwanted shells in the dish and helps keep the yolks from breaking so they remain soft and runny when they blend with the sauce.\n<\/p>\n
