Healthy Winter Recipes – From Cigna
Eggs-traordinary California Avocado Breakfast Muffins
These are a perfect way to start your day with protein. Runners need protein after a run and these are great for busy mornings when you need to take something on the go!
Crockpot Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili
Eating healthy is all about being prepared to resist temptation, right? Using a crockpot makes this recipe awesome. I love that I can prepare the chili before a long day and come home to a warm meal at night.
Pumpkin Cranberry Granola Bites
I always need a quick source of energy in the afternoons. These are perfect to keep in the fridge as an afternoon treat. I love that they include my favorite seasonal flavors too.
Quinoa Black Bean Crockpot Stuffed Peppers
Did you know that Quinoa is a fantastic source of protein? The ancient grain is a popular “superfood” that picks up the flavors from spices and broth.
