1. Creamy Avocado Pasta

3. Banana Oat Blender Pancakes
Dump bananas, oats, eggs, and cinnamon into a blender. Pour onto a skillet. Done. No flour, no sugar—just golden, fluffy pancakes that don’t taste like “health food.”
🥞 Top with berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Boom.
4. Crispy Chickpea Caesar Salad
Homemade Caesar dressing (think Greek yogurt, lemon, garlic), tossed with crunchy romaine and roasted chickpeas instead of croutons.
