1. Eggs
Eggs are a great source of protein and are super filling, and they can be made sooo many ways! So, grab a few and get cracking.
2. Stir fry
The possibilities are literally endless- choose between rice or noodles, then whether you want chicken, beef, and/or vegetables, and finally what sauce will top it all off. With all these options, you’ll be set for a lifetime… or at least a few weeks.Â
3. Pizza
I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself, “Why would I make pizza when I can just call Domino’s?” Good question, and I have a great answer. Making pizza yourself is not only cheaper but also healthier. Instead of pizza crust, use a whole wheat tortilla as the base. Top it off with part-skim mozzarella and loads of veggies, and you’re good to go!
4. Oatmeal
Instead of using the ready-made packets from Quaker, use the standard old-fashioned oats and make them with soy or almond milk. Top off your oatmeal with some fresh fruit, nuts, and/or cinnamon for a yummy and healthy breakfast choice.
5. Roasted Vegetables
Although you can choose whatever veggies you’d like, my recommendation would be asparagus, carrots, and zucchini. They all roast extremely well in the oven, so just drizzle some olive oil over them and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and you’re set for a nutritious dinner. Also, they all are fabulous for you in their own way. Zucchinis are nutrient dense and good for your overall health; carrots are rich in Vitamin A, thereby helping to reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease; and asparagus is packed with fiber and antioxidants, ranking among the top fruits and vegetables for its ability to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals, which can help slow the aging process.
