Jennifer Garner is making the most of the perfect camping weather. In her latest Instagram post for #PretendCookingShow, the actress is seen enjoying the great outdoors while preparing a simple breakfast for her children.
In the video, Garner begins by making hash browns. Using her KitchenAid Go Cordless System, she dices potatoes effortlessly even while camping. She also shares a recipe for a five-ingredient smoothie that’s easy to make and hard to mess up.
Here’s a breakdown of Garner’s simple, nutritious breakfast:
Preparing the Hash Browns: Garner quarters her potatoes and processes them in the KitchenAid. She then places the chopped potatoes in cheesecloth to remove excess moisture, which helps with browning.
Cooking the Hash Browns: She divides the potatoes into two batches—one with cheese and one without. Both are seasoned with onion powder and cooked on a hot, oiled grill pan. Garner advises letting the potatoes cook without moving them until they are crispy and browned.
Making the Smoothie: While the hash browns cook, Garner prepares a smoothie with just five ingredients: banana, strawberries, ground flaxseed, peanut butter, and almond milk. She adds ice to make it cold and refreshing, then blends it using her cordless blender.
Serving: After flipping the potatoes and seasoning them with salt and pepper, Garner plates the hash browns and adds chives, sour cream, and ketchup. She also serves a seasoned sunny-side-up egg for extra protein.
Garner’s breakfast is both simple and nutritious. Potatoes provide satisfying carbohydrates, while eggs offer complete protein and support for bone health and muscle growth. The smoothie adds fiber from the fruit and flaxseed, benefiting digestive health and heart function.
