Healthy Greek Yogurt with Fruit and Almonds

I rarely have time to eat breakfast, so sometimes I create this yogurt recipe the night before and eat in the morning while I'm at work. Fage Greek yogurt is great since it contains no sugar and double the amount of protein than your average yogurt. I try to use seasonal fruit; for the summertime I used blueberries and peaches since they are in season.

Ingredients
7 oz.or 6 oz. Fage Greek yogurt
a handful of blueberries
a handful of strawberries chopped
1 peach, chopped
1 mango, sliced
1/4 cup of raw & unsalted slivered almonds (toast in pan; optional)

Directions
Combine ingredients and enjoy!

Spinach Tofu Olive and Red Pepper Salad

This is a great salad for a light lunch combined with snacks in between meals. Sometimes I add a slice of Ezekiel bread with some Earth Balance butter.

Ingredients
1/3 bag of baby spinach or mixed greens
1/2 package baked tofu
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 2"x 1/4" sticks
3 tbs green olives stuffed with red peppers
1 tsp of olive oil
2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Directions
Combine all ingredients and enjoy!
