Zola’s Favorite Breakfast Smoothie
On the go? Need something quick that will keep you full and focused while you rush off to work or to do errands? Use your Bullet Blender to whip this up.
Crustless Quiche and Variations
Z3-Vegetarian,Z3-Entrees,Z3-Eggs
This is not a “thick” quiche so you get to have a bigger piece. I made it a thin version so it cooks faster because no one wants to wait long for breakfast!
Huevos Rancheros Zola Style (Mexican eggs with a spicy tomato sauce)
If you like Mexican comfort food this is your go-to. Perfect for brunch or even for dinner. This version is spicy enough to make most noses run but can be adjusted for milder palates.
Low Carb Berry Coffee Cake
For breakfast in the morning or with a cup of tea in the afternoon, this low carb coffee cake hits the spot. I made mine with blueberries fresh from the garden, but most berries will work.
Puff Pastry Quiche
Z3.5-Entrees,Z3.5-Vegetarian,ZS-Holiday,ZSpecialties
I serve this with a side of crispy, oven bacon. LOVE it for brunch or even dinner. It’s easy to assemble and comes out of the oven in short order
Peanut Butter Craisin Granola
Z3.5-Appetizers,Z3.5-Vegetarian
Craving breakfast cereal? Try this instead! Have it with unsweetened coconut milk or as a YUMMY parfait.
Pass Me an Orange
A full two-thirds of Americans start off their day with a glass of orange juice. They think that’s healthy behavior. It’s not the orange that’s unhealthy. Eating an orange is good for you, but drinking large amounts of juice will cause you trouble.
Italian Sausage, Mushroom and Cheese Brunch Casserole
Z3-Appetizers & Snacks,Z3-Eggs,Z3-Entrees,Z3-Pork

Pumpkin Pancakes with Pumpkin Spiced Whipped Cream
Z3.5-Vegetarian,ZS-Holiday,Z3.5-Entrees,ZSpecialties,ZS-Dieter Favorites
Hot off the Griddle. “Zolafied” pancakes. If you want your kids full and focused before school give them these instead of cereal.
Fruit & Protein Smoothie
This is an easy and nutrient dense option for our dieters on the go!
Bacon Avocado Toast
ZS-Holiday,Z3.5-Sides,ZSpecialties,Z3.5-Appetizers,Z3.5-Pork
Making avocado toast is a very free-form exercise. You can build it the way you want to; that's what makes it so easy - and delicious!
Fruit Smoothie
This smoothie recipe is a great breakfast drink for those on the go. It is also a great mid-afternoon snack for those who want to get more calories in ZReboot. It even makes a great dessert!
A Trio of Super-Simple Breakfast Casseroles
Z3-Eggs,ZSpecialties,Z3-Entrees,ZS-Dieter Favorites
I'm thinking of starting a company called “Just Add Eggs.” Well, maybe I'm kidding but this just might be a theme for these breakfast casseroles. I made them all the same way.
Egg Muffins
Z3-Eggs,ZSpecialties,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z3-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go
Easy to make and freezer friendly, egg muffin cups make for a great grab-and-go breakfast. I love switching up ingredients – I’ll do bacon, swiss, onion and spinach one time. Ham, cheddar and broccoli. Sausage, mozzarella, tomatoes and mushrooms. The possibilities are endless!
Peach Parfait
ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z3-Desserts,ZSpecialties,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks
The parfait is a serious twist on a Cooking Light recipe I came across, so I need to give them credit but I also wanted you to know it's light and rather healthy.

Mexican Avocado Toast
This is super easy to make and comes together in about 10 minutes. Just be sure to have everything prepped so you can enjoy the cool guacamole with the hot shrimp on top.
Cocoa-Fruit Superfood Smoothie
Adding the almond butter and peanut butter makes it smooth and delicious. Almost a chocolate peanut butter cup, but exceedingly good for you.
Veggie Drawer Quiche
Everybody needs the perfect recipe that uses up the little leftover bits of vegetables you have in the drawer. Instead of letting them go to waste, you can whip up this quiche. I served it for dinner. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Some people even like it room temperature or cold.
Pumpkin Spiced Whipped Cream
Serve this on your pancakes instead of syrup. Or if you want some syrup just do a teeny bit; like a capful. And use REAL maple syrup. No diet syrup. A bit of the real stuff is better for you.
Mexican Hash
The dish is QUICK. EASY. Brunch for dinner maybe? Or this can be a fun breakfast or lunch, too.
Peanut Butter Yogurt Swirl
ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z3-Appetizers & Snacks,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z3-Desserts,ZSpecialties

Mushroom Spinach Quiche
Z3-Eggs,Z3-Entrees,Z3-Vegetarian
We had this quiche as a vegetarian entrée for a light dinner. My husband loved it so much he had it again the next morning for breakfast.
Broccoli Cheese Brunch Pie
Z3-Entrees,Z3-Vegetarian,Z3-Eggs,ZS-Zola to Go,ZSpecialties
Breakfast. Lunch. Brunch or even a light dinner. You can even serve this as a side dish at a family event. Even the kids who don’t like veggies will like this one.
Seafood Crepes
These crepes are very low carb and EASY to make. You can even make them ahead and store them in the refrigerator or freeze them. I made them at the same time I was working on my seafood and sauce for the stuffed crepes but if you’re not that coordinated in the kitchen, you can make the crepes first and just store them. You do have to keep a close eye on the crepes as they cook. Don’t get distracted. It’s much less stressful to make the crepes and then make the sauce. Both come together really fast so you’ll be out of the kitchen in a jiffy anyway.
How To Really Order Breakfast
Having two pieces toast racks up 29.4 grams of carbohydrates. Wash that breakfast down with an 8-ounce glass of orange juice and you've just added 27.1 more grams of carbohydrates.
Cinnamon Nut Granola
Z3.5-Appetizers,Z3.5-Vegetarian
Most granola you buy at the store has about 35-45 grams of carbohydrates per serving. This one has about 9. Your tummy will love this and you’ll be healthier for it.
Pizza Scrambled Eggs
Our VP of Anger Management, Chris Lytle offers up his latest breakfast creation.
Chicken Crepes with Mushrooms and Broccoli
These are not sweet crepes. These are savory ones to be filled as a lunch or dinner entrée. These make great family or dinner party food. You can make more than one batch for a party.
Raspberry Yogurt Smoothie
As we endeavor to eat healthy but we are still on the run, I thought this quick and tasty smoothie might hit the spot. I often drink one of these at my desk at work.
