Recipes used to be a struggle for me until I realized how simple it really is to eat healthy — and by healthy, I mean eating to fuel your body with good nutrition. We don't eat a lot of rice or carbs at our house. That doesn't mean they're bad — it's just not our go-to. Here's how we actually plan meals, night after night, without getting bored or overwhelmed.
Starter Bowls
Sweet potato + salmon + broccolini + Siete taco seasoning
Cauliflower rice + ground turkey + peppers + Siete taco seasoning + avocado
Butternut squash + chicken breast + kale + onion & garlic powder
Breakfast Bowls
Steel Cut Oats Protein Bowl — steel cut oats, cottage cheese stirred in while warm, fresh berries, cinnamon
Greek Yogurt Berry Bowl — plain Greek yogurt, mixed berries, drizzle of honey (optional)
Egg White Veggie Bowl — scrambled egg whites, spinach, peppers, topped with avocado, Himalayan salt, pepper, onion & garlic powder
Snack Ideas
Plain Greek yogurt with berries
Cottage cheese mixed into eggs or egg whites
Hard-boiled eggs with Himalayan salt and pepper
Cottage cheese with sliced cucumber
Turkey roll-ups with a sprinkle of seasoning
Handful of veggies with plain Greek yogurt dip
Sauces & Toppings
Greek yogurt ranch — plain Greek yogurt + garlic powder + onion powder + a splash of water
Avocado crema — mashed avocado + lime juice + salt
Tahini-lime drizzle — tahini + lime juice + water to thin
Salsa or pico — store-bought is fine, great on Mexican-style bowls
Simple vinaigrette — olive oil + vinegar + Italian seasoning
Meal-Prep Tips
Bake 2–3 sweet potatoes or a full tray of squash at once — they reheat well
Grill or bake extra chicken on the nights you're already cooking it
Batch-cook cauliflower rice or wild rice and portion into containers
Wash and chop veggies right after shopping so they're ready to go
Make a double batch of a sauce — most keep 4–5 days in the fridge
Dietary Swaps
Vegetarian: swap the protein for beans, lentils, tofu, or eggs
Lower-carb: skip the starchy base and double up on veggies
Dairy-free: swap cottage cheese/Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative
