The DASH diet (AKA the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is one of the best eating patterns to support your heart health and help lower blood pressure. These breakfast ideas follow the DASH diet by featuring nutritious ingredients like produce, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean protein. With low counts of saturated fats and sodium and high counts of potassium, these meals are aligned with our heart-healthy and high-blood pressure recipe parameters, too. Recipes like our Summer Skillet Vegetable & Egg Scramble and Chocolate-Banana Protein Smoothie are tasty choices for a filling and energizing morning meal.

Homemade Plain Greek Yogurt
![3758635.jpg](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/3D5Biw_HmvJ3f4-EnAGq3DINUzk=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/3758635-8f162783cbf84ec385e122727ecbe396.jpg)
Learning how to make Greek yogurt at home is simple with this easy homemade Greek yogurt recipe. Start by making homemade yogurt by heating milk, combining with a little bit of already-cultured yogurt and letting it sit in a warm spot until the milk turns into yogurt. Making protein-rich Greek yogurt takes one more step than making regular yogurt: straining the yogurt to thicken it. You can add the leftover liquid--also known as whey--to smoothies, or you can use it in place of buttermilk in baking.
