Mother’s Day is just around the corner so it’s a perfect time to spoil mom with a delicious and nutritious brunch at home. First, kick things off with a build your own waffle bar!
Sweet and savory waffle bar
Start with whole grain waffles as the base and offer a range of unique sweet and savory toppings like eggs, salsa, smoked salmon, nut butter, jams and produce which you can find at Sprouts Farmer’s Market. Sprouts offers a fresh, friendly take on grocery shopping, where exploration and discovery happen naturally. It can be an exciting treasure hunt for healthy alternatives good for you products all at an affordable price point, whether you are looking for farm fresh produce, bullk foods, fresh meat and seafood or unique attributed products such as plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free.
A sweet pre-made option to include in your mothers day bunch spread is yogurt parfaits with customizable lower-sugar granola
To make this recipe from my book, simply combine 3 cups of rolled oats, 1/3 cup of honey, ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil and with 1 cup nuts and ¼ cup of seeds which you can conveniently grab from the bulk foods section at Sprouts in the exact quantities needed. Toss to combine and bake in a singl layer on a prepaered baking sheet for 20 minutes, tossing half way. Serve with fresh berries over low fat plain Greek yogurt. This granola adds a touch of sweetness, filling fiber, good fats and plant protein.
For savory, protein-packed option, we have a hash brown breakfast casserole
The great thing about this recipe is that it can be customized with your choice of produce and customized to your dietary needs. Sprouts Farmers Market is my go-to for farm-fresh produce because they keep seasonality top of mind and work with local farmers to bring in the season’s freshest, most delicious produce including limited-time varieties you can’t find anywhere else. Place 1 pound of frozen shredded hash browns in a baking dish and combine with 2 cups of chopped veggies such as spinach, bell pepper and onion. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs with 1/3 cup of regular or plant-based shredded cheese 1/3 cup of almond milk, salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables. Bake for 30 minutes at 400 F.
Finally, cheers to mom with a make your own mimosa bar.
Offer a range of 100% juices such as orange, apple and guava alongside fresh fruit and sparkling wine or sparkling water for a mocktail version.
