Cobb Salad
This healthy cobb salad is far from boring, with blue cheese, ranch dressing, and delicious strips of bacon. You'll be so excited over the deliciousness of this salad that you won't even notice that it has healthy additions — like chicken breasts, tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs.
Pistachio-Crusted Salmon
With nutrients like vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, fish is great for your heart and brain health, and this pistachio-crusted salmon is simple, delicious, and healthy. Ingredients like thyme, rosemary, and pistachio add freshness, while a squeeze of lemon juice at the end adds an extra punch of flavor.
Seared Salmon
This seared salmon tastes even better than it looks, and in addition to the chickpeas and kale, the recipe has other healthy additions such as balsamic vinegar, onions, and baby bella mushrooms. To make it taste even better, be sure to buy salmon with the skin on for extra flavor.
Beef And Broccoli
This slow cooker broccoli and beef recipe is an easy and healthy homemade replacement for your regular Asian takeout. Set aside 15 minutes of your time for prepping the veggies, beef and sauce, and put your ingredients in a slow cooker, allowing the protein and greens to simmer for two hours.
Lentil Meatballs
Lentil “meatballs” are a great vegetarian or vegan dish, and are incredibly nutritious, as a single cup of cooked lentils has 17.9 grams of protein and 15.6 grams of fiber. This recipe calls for two cups of lentils, and has a very similar texture to traditional meatballs, but just a bit more delicate.
