Recipes that take 15 minutes or less:

Chia Seed Pudding

This one is one of my favorites! You prepare this the night before and then top it with any of your favorite fruits when you’re ready to enjoy. You could also top it with chocolate chips, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, goji berries, etc.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 TBSP of chia seeds (2 Tbsp if you’re looking for a lighter meal, 3 Tbsp for something slightly heavier)

• For every TBSP of chia seeds use 1/4 cup of milk (I prefer almond milk)

• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 TBSP maple syrup

• Cinnamon (to your liking - I love a ton)

Combine your ingredients together, mix well, then refrigerate for two minutes to allow the pudding to thicken. After two minutes take out the pudding and mix again, this prevents it from separating. Be sure all your ingredients are mixed well. Refrigerate overnight and once it’s time for Suhoor simply top it with any fruit you have on hand! My favorites are: strawberries, pomegranate seeds, blueberries, but anything works, as you can see above I used mango and it was phenomenal.

“Deconstructed Hummus Sandwich”

I was inspired by Paper and Stitch on this one! I feel like it’s a modern take on the classic hummus sandwich- meaning you’ll be sure to get some funny looks and sarcastic comments if you decide to share this with your parents lol! It’s super easy to throw together, and is perfect if you’re like me and your suhoor usually conists of snacking on the couch with your favorite new Arabic show.

Ingredients:

• 1 Container Hummus (I used store bought because I’m lazy, but you can make your own obviously!)

• 1 Bag of Pita Chips (You can switch this out for pita bread if you’re not a fan of the chips)

• 1 Cucumber diced

• 1/2 Cup of halved cherry tomatoes

• 1/4 Cup of sliced black olives

• 1/4 Cup of chickpeas (cooked and drained)

• Drizzle of Olive Oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

Spread the hummus onto one half of your board in a nice, thick layer. Then sprinkle on the chickpeas, cucumbers, olives, and tomatoes. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the pita chips on the other half of the board. Take it to the couch, lay down, and enjoy!

Muesli (Cold Oats)

Okay, this is one of those things where you really can’t knock it before you try it. Muesli! What is it? This page does a great job explaining it but to shorten it up- it’s basically just a mixture oats and nuts! Maybe even fruit. The best part about it is you can enjoy it right away and you don’t need to make it ahead of time. It’s packed with fiber and will give you the right amount of energy to conquer the day. Tweak this recipe to your liking! If you don’t like an ingredient, don’t add it! That’s the beauty of Muesli.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of oats

• Pinch of coconut flakes

• 2 dates

• Pumpkin seeds

• Sliced Almonds

• Goji Berries

• Cinnamon

• 1 tsp Chia Seeds

• Water

• Honey or Maple Syrup

I wanted to offer a variety of ingredients for you to include to your Muesli. Only add the ingredients you like! Start off by adding your oats to a cup, then add in your coconut flakes, cut up dates, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, berries, cinnamon, and chia seeds. Then add water enough to cover and until you reach the desired consistency. Add your sweetener of choice and enjoy!

Banana & Date Protein Smoothie

Who doesn’t love a good smoothie for Suhoor? This one is sure to keep you feeling full the next day, and it is super quick to make!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz of your milk of choice (I used whole milk)

• 1 banana

• 2 dates

• 1 Tbs peanut butter

• 1 Tbs chia seeds

• 1 scoop protein powder

Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend! Enjoy!

French Baguette Sandwiches

French Baguettes. My weakness! Some days, I just want to keep it simple and have a sandwich. You can include any protein you want with your favorite veggies and then you have what I like to call- the most savory, delicious French baguette sandwich. I like to bake my own French baguettes using this recipe by the Food Nanny, but you can always use store bought (fresh is best though lol). Here’s what I like to include in my sandwich:

• Protein- turkey or chicken

• Jam

• Arugula

• Pickles or banana peppers

• Feta cheese

• Tomatoes

• Mayo

• Balsamic glaze (KEY!)

Recipes that take more than 15 minutes:

Pancake Board

Pancake boards are so easy and fun to make especially for the family during Suhoor. I like to prepare my Pancake mix ahead of time and just whip up the ingredients when I’m ready to eat! Another great way to save on time and prepare ahead of time is to make the pancakes then freeze them. Pop them in the microwave to reheat and they’re ready to be eaten! This is the recipe I use and LOVE! Your pancakes will come out so fluffy and I also appreciate how it makes the perfect amount. Arrange your pancakes on your board and serve with some of your favorite toppings!

Homemade Old- Fashioned Biscuits

There is nothing better than starting your day off with a warm biscuit. I love to use The Food Nanny’s recipe. These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but you can always make them after Iftar and enjoy for Suhoor. They’ll still taste good in my opinion. Top them with your favorite jam and some butter! You can also cut them open and stuff with some chicken sausage for more protein. They’re delicious either way!

Cheese Boards

Personally, I can enjoy a cheeseboard anytime of day lol. The girls and I love cheeseboards! You can get super creative with them and adjust them to your liking. I always love to pair my chest with fruits and crackers. Sometimes I’ll include Mike’s Hot Honey or some jam to add some sweetness. Below are some of my favorite cheeses. You can find them at your local grocery store but I prefer to get my cheese from Kroger, Sprouts or Whole Foods.

• Parmesan Reggiano

• Goat Cheesee

• Gouda

• Brie

• Manchego
