My mom (known affectionately as Smathy in our household) has a BS in Nutrition. We ate very healthy growing up and here are a few of her healthy eating recipes. Thanks Smathy!
Fruit Yogurt
1 750 g (3cup) container plain yogurt
½ can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 can pineapple chunks, drained
2 bananas, peeled and cut up
2 oranges, peeled and cut up
Combine and serve. Note: I like using Bio-Best yogurt by Astro, which is probably not available in the US, because it is naturally much less sour than other plain yogurts I’ve tried. Greek style yogurt would work well too. If this is too tart for your liking you can add a little sugar to taste.
Fruit Coleslaw
4c shredded cabbage
1 can pineapple chunks with juice
zest of 1 orange
2 oranges, peeled and cut up
1 apple, shredded or in chunks
1-2 bananas, cut up
Combine and serve. You can also add grapes, pears, nuts, coconut, cinnamon or low-fat sour cream to taste.
I have used these two recipes for years and they are always a hit with the family.
Refried Beans
2c dehydrated refried beans 1/8tsp oregano
2c water 1/4tsp cumin
½c onion, chopped pinch of salt
1 garlic clove, minced ground pepper to taste
Reconstitute beans according to instructions on can. Refrigerate until firm. Cook onion and garlic in a small amount of canola or olive oil, add beans, spices and heat thoroughly.
