5 Easy & Healthy Meal Ideas

Beef Lettuce Cups

If you’re looking for a quick, versatile meal that helps clean out your fridge, these Beef Lettuce Cups are a game changer. They’re super easy to whip up – just cook up your ground beef (or swap in any leftover meat you have on hand) with whatever veggies are lurking in your fridge, like bell peppers, onions, or carrots. Toss it all together with a little soy sauce and seasoning, and you’re good to go! You can customize the filling based on what needs to be used up, making this the perfect solution for those busy days when you want something fresh and flavorful without any waste. Plus, it’s a fun, healthy twist on dinner that never gets old!

Protein Pasta

Protein pasta has quickly become my go-to Sunday dinner – it’s the perfect easy, relaxing meal to prep for the week ahead. There’s really no set recipe for this one, which is what makes it so great! I start with a protein-packed pasta, like Banza or Brami, then toss in my favorite sauce – whether it’s marinara, pesto, or something creamy – and whatever protein I’m feeling that week. I usually go for chicken or ground beef, but you can switch it up based on what you have. Then, I throw in any veggies I’ve got on hand, like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers. It’s such a flexible dish, and the best part is that it’s quick, satisfying, and can be customized every time! Perfect for winding down and getting ready for the week ahead.

Hot Honey Chicken Wrap

I recently teamed up with Noosa to create a Hot Honey Chicken Wrap, and it’s honestly become one of my favorite meals! The star of this wrap is the Noosa Hot Honey yogurt, which gives the perfect balance of sweet and spicy to the chicken. I marinate the chicken in a mix of the hot honey yogurt and spices, then cook it up and wrap it all in a warm tortilla with some fresh veggies. It’s the ultimate combination of heat and flavor, and the creamy yogurt makes it super satisfying. If you’re craving something bold and unique, this wrap is the perfect way to shake up your usual lunch routine! It’s quick, delicious, and packs a punch in every bite.

Snack Plate

A Snack Plate has become my go-to at least once a week because it’s not only delicious but also super easy to pack in a bunch of nutrition. It’s like an adult lunchable, and honestly, what’s not to love about that? I fill my plate with a mix of carbs, protein, and fats, and I get to snack on a variety of tasty things. Here’s what I typically include:

• Carbohydrates: almond flour crackers or pita chips, fruit (I love to do apple or berries), sweet potato chips, rice cakes, veggie sticks, etc.
• Protein: hard-boiled eggs, turkey or chicken slices, cottage cheese, hummus
• Fats: almonds or mixed nuts, guacamole, cheese (cheddar, goat cheese, or brie), olive tapenade

It’s the perfect balance of flavors, and the best part is that you can easily switch up the ingredients depending on what you have on hand. It’s a snack that keeps me satisfied and energized, and it’s fun to mix and match different foods each time!

Miso Salmon Bowl

This Salmon Miso Bowl is one of my absolute favorites for a quick, flavorful meal that feels a little bit fancy but is actually super easy to make. It’s packed with umami from the miso sauce, and the salmon is perfectly seared and glazed with a rich, savory-sweet sauce. Plus, it’s a well-balanced bowl that’s filling without feeling too heavy.
