Whether you’re looking for a breakfast booster, coffee alternative or an afternoon pick me up, you’ve found just the right drink to hit the spot! This drink will be a new favorite of yours. It works great as a latte and is even refreshing when blended with ice. 

Benefits of matcha:

  • Can boost energy, mood and metabolism, all while tasting good!
  • Is packed with antioxidants
  • Supports higher levels of concentration

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp. matcha
  • 1 Tbsp. Vital Farms Butter
  • 1 Tbsp. MCT oil or coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp. collagen powder or vanilla protein
  • 1 squirt vanilla Stevia
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • 6-8 oz. unsweetened coconut milk

Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together until blended into a puree.
Tip: Remix your drink by adding ice to make it a little cooler or add another teaspoon of greens powder for an easy way to get those greens in!

Egg Fried “Rice”

This is a simple recipe you can use to improve your vegetable intake. It provides a very satisfying alternative to the typical starch base, using a sweet potato instead of rice!

 Ingredients:

  • 2 Vital Farms Pasture-Raised Eggs
  • 1 medium sweet potato or 2 small/medium parsnips
  • 1 Tbsp. Vital Farms Butter
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut aminos
  • Dash of Himalayan sea salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat a medium-sized sauce pan on medium-high.
  2. Rinse and chop potato or parsnips. Use a food processor to chop into rice-sized pieces. It works best to pulse about five times for about two seconds each time. A subtle shake can help break the pieces up evenly. Depending on the size of your processor, you may need to do a couple runs.
  3. Toss chopped vegetables into the sauce pan and use with a wooden spoon to slightly toast without oil or butter for three minutes.
  4. Add butter to pan and continue to toss for three minutes.
  5. Add seasonings and eggs. Scramble eggs into veggie mixture. Stir for two additional minutes to prevent sticking.
  6. Add more seasonings, if desired.

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Leafy greens, like spinach or kale
  • Hot sauce or broth to sauce pan with chopped veggies
  • Hemp hearts for protein and fiber
  • Fermented vegetables
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Sliced avocado before serving
