Dr Oz: Bran Appetit No Bake Recipes
Dr Oz scoured the Internet to find some of the best ideas out there. He found a popular food blogger whose no-bake approach resonates with followers and makes cooking easier. Best of all, they made Gluten-Free recipes for this segment. Check out the Strawberry Microwave Breakfast Bowl, No-Rice Risotto and Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Recipes from this segment.
Dr Oz: No Bake Healthy Recipes
Brandi writes for the food blog Bran Appetit, and she explained that “no-bake just means you don’t have to turn on your oven or your stove, and all of these can be made in minutes, which is great.” That could definitely save time in the kitchen.
From the no-bake cookies of her childhood, she expanded her menu, using healthy swaps and trying savory dishes and even breakfast ideas. Brandi thinks that her easy recipes and pictures of the process make it easy for others to follow along.
But when she first got married, Brandi was overweight and didn’t have much cooking knowledge. She was self-taught and learned it doesn’t have to be hard to make healthy meals. She does the blog and cooks as a hobby, in addition to working a full time job.

Brandi said this dish is one of her favorite breakfasts, which takes less time to make than oatmeal. (I wish that I could cook as fast as the chefs on TV, with their magic tricks.) This has 12 grams of fat and only 225 calories.
