Mother's Day brunch steeped in flavor

Lemon-Blueberry Breakfast Muffins

A brunch with healthier dishes and beverages is a great way to surprise mom on Mother's Day. The right ingredients — such as hot and iced teas and soft spreads, used instead of butter — can help dial up the nutrition quotient while impressing mom with great taste.

For example, delicious recipes made with tea add both sophisticated flavor and the potential benefits of flavonoid antioxidants to the menu. And swapping butter for soft spreads helps to reduce saturated fat intake without sacrificing great, rich taste.

"Brunches offer a wonderful way to share new dishes with family and friends," says registered dietitian Katherine Brooking. "The key is to serve foods and drinks with nutritional value and great taste, and that's why I like using tea and soft spreads. They're versatile, easy to cook with, and offer a more nutritious alternative for the brunch table."
