Smoothies, we will never tire of you. Currently, we’re all about this dreamy, creamy blueberry-ginger smoothie recipe. The recipe uses coconut milk and coconut milk yogurt, so it's dairy-free and paleo-friendly. Plus it's sweet, tangy and ever-so-slightly spicy.

3. Green Shakshuka

Sick of scrambled eggs? Time to meet shakshuka, an egg dish that’s popular in Israel for breakfast but equally delicious for lunch or dinner. The OG version is made with tomato sauce, but we love this fun twist: a spicy green shakshuka with spinach and jalapeño. Best of all, it's dairy- and grain-free and deceptively easy to make.
