Breakfast
The flavor of sage is a beautiful complement to blueberries. Try sprinkling a little chopped sage over the berries in your morning oatmeal.
Cook ¼ cup ground hot cereal (such as Bob's Red Mill 10 Grain Hot Cereal Mix) according to package directions; add ½ cup blueberries, 1-2 tsp. chopped toasted almonds, and ¼ tsp. chopped fresh sage (optional).
Lunch
Warm 3/4-1 cup leftover Chickpeas with Leeks, Spinach, and Smoked Paprika. Serve alongside a salad of 2 cups arugula, 2 sliced pitted Medjool dates, and up to 1 Tbsp. Sherry Vinaigrette. If you don't have leftovers, toss drained chickpeas or white beans into the salad instead.
Snack
A dead-ripe fresh mango is more delicious than any frozen fruit. But if you can't find one, use frozen mango, which will make a thicker, slushier shake. If your mango isn't ripe, just add a squeeze of honey to the lassi.
Combine ¾ cup mango chunks (frozen or fresh and very ripe), ½ cup Greek yogurt, ¼–⅛ tsp. ancho chile powder, scant ⅛ tsp. salt (optional), and ¼ cup water in a blender; purée until smooth.
