Roast cubed butternut squash (or potatoes), diced onion, and green bell peppers with avocado oil, salt, and taco seasoning at 400°F for 35-40 minutes. 2. Scramble eggs in a cold pan with butter or oil, stirring gently over low-medium heat. 3. Serve with cottage cheese, eggs, roasted veggies, avocado, and optional toppings like red onions, jalapeños, herbs, and hot sauce.

Would you try this freeze dried fruit cereal?! I tried the viral freeze dried fruit cereal to put it to the test. I grabbed freeze dried fruit from Trader Joe’s, tossed it into a bowl, with almond milk, and grabbed a spoonful. The verdict?? It’s actually REALLY good, with a great texture and it definitely feels like cereal. It’s one of those things you need to eat right away though, because it does get soggy. I’d say this is a solid 8.5/10! #fruit #healthyrecipes #fruitsalad #fruitcereal #keto #recipes #dessertinspo #traderjoes #summer #summersalad #fruitsalad #viralfruit #viralfruitcereal #summerfruits
