Breakfast
Muesli is a cold porridge of fruit, nuts, and oats that you prepare the night before serving. In this case, the juices of clementines and frozen raspberries are blended with yogurt to make a soft pudding, which gets some toothsome texture the next morning from bits of toasted hazelnuts.
In a small bowl, mix ½ cup frozen raspberries, ½ cup old-fashioned oats, ⅓ cup unsweetened nonfat yogurt, ½ of a large apple (skin on, cored, shredded), fresh-squeezed juice of 1 clementine or ½ of a navel orange, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Cover and chill overnight. In the morning, sprinkle 1 Tbsp. chopped toasted hazelnuts over.
Lunch
Toss 4 cups spinach with 1½ Tbsp. Smoky Lemon Tahini Dressing. Top with 1 hard-boiled egg cut into wedges. Serve alongside 1 cup leftover Pistachio Quinoa at room temperature, with an extra squeeze of lemon juice mixed in, if you like. If you don't have leftovers, substitute chickpeas or brown rice for the quinoa.
Snack
Thinly slice 1 Bosc pear. Spread 1 oz. goat cheese, divided, on pear slices; drizzle with ½ tsp. honey.
