    ALMOND FLOUR PANCAKES
    A great addition to these pancakes is a slice of ham of two strips of bacon. Also, adding fresh berries is a great way to sweeten the taste up. Because of how dense these are you only need to make a few to get full.

    INGREDIENTS

    1 cup almond flour
    1 Tbsp coconut flour
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup water (consider soda water for slightly fluffier pancakes)
    2 Tbsp oil
    a pinch of salt
    garnish with fresh berries
    INSTRUCTIONS

    Combine all ingredients in a bowl. The batter will be appear a little thicker than normal mix.
    Drop by 1/4 cup onto a lightly-oiled, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. You might want to shape the pancake with the scoop to keep them from being too thick.
    Flip like a normal pancake, about when the bubbles start showing up on the top.
    Put on a plate and add berries.

    BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE
    Here’s a quick morning smoothie for days you’re running behind, or just to mix it up a bit. The shredded coconut may not blend completely, but I don’t mind the texture. Depending on where you get it, you may find finer or rougher flaked coconut. You can put it in the coffee grinder if you want to help dice it even more fine if your prefer.

    Between the coconut and the egg whites, you should get a good balance of protein and fat to mix with the carbs of the berries. Add a little ham on the side to supplement even more, or if you prefer to leave out anything.

    INGREDIENTS

    1 cup frozen berries
    1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
    1/2 cup almond milk (optional)
    1-2 egg’s worth of egg white (optional)
    INSTRUCTIONS

    Fill a blender (or magic bullet or whatever) with about a cup of frozen berries and quickly pulse with a little hot water to break them up.
    Add shredded coconut, egg whites, and almond milk
    Continue to blend until smooth
    Enjoy

    TURKEY VEGETABLE MEATBALLS
    These are an amazing dish with a quick prep time and lots of flavor. You’ll want to make enough for leftovers, but beware, set aside enough for lunch *before* you start eating, or you’ll keep going back for more and suddenly won’t have enough for tomorrow.

    – Update: –
    Or do as carlakimball pointed out in the comments, fry a few up tomorrow morning for breakfast. Yum.

    INGREDIENTS

    1 lb. ground turkey
    Baby carrots
    Red and green bell peppers
    1/2 cup mushrooms
    Fresh parsley
    Scallions
    Garlic powder
    Italian seasoning
    Black pepper
    INSTRUCTIONS

    Start by prepping some red and green peppers, deseeding, and slicing them. Place them with about 6-8 baby carrots and about 1/2 cup of scallions into a food processor and blend until well chopped.
    With the ground turkey in a large bowl, mix in the diced veggies. Add generous portions of the seasoning to keep the meatballs from turning out bland.
    Then, cook in a pan with a touch of oil until internal temperature is above 165. I like to then turn up the heat on the stove and sear the outside of the meatballs to give them a crunchy texture on the outside, but that’s personal preference.
    Again, be careful to set tomorrow’s aside or you’ll catch yourself eating the whole batch.
