A Week of Healthy, Filling Recipes

Monday

Breakfast

3 Ingredient Oat Pancakes

One of our favorite breakfast recipes, these oat pancakes are both healthy and easy! All you need is one large banana, almond milk, and old fashioned oats. Blend your oats in a blender or food processor to make the consistency more of a powder. Then add your banana and almond milk until the thickness is comparable to pancake batter. Fry them up and you have a delicious way to start your day! Add any of your favorite fruits or nuts as a topping.

Lunch

This Greek pasta salad is the perfect lunch to keep you full all day. Start with some rotini or penne pasta, and add all of your favorite Greek vegetables! We love to add cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, cucumbers, and top with feta cheese. For the dressing, all you need is olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, and minced garlic. Stir it all together and enjoy! We love making this a day or two before so all all of the flavors mix together.

Dinner

We chose a filling and healthy dinner to wrap up your Monday! All this recipe needs is spaghetti squash, ground turkey, garlic, onion, bell peppers, tomatoes, grape seed oil, cheese, marinara sauce and dried oregano. Scoop out the seeds of your squash, then put it in the oven while you cook up some ground turkey. Mix all of the ingredients together using the squash as a bowl, and you have a healthy dinner to finish your day!

Tuesday

https://www.jaroflemons.com/healthy-mac-and-cheese/

Whenever you’re craving a big bowl of mac and cheese…resist the temptation and make this healthier version with butternut squash! All it needs is milk, broth, avocado oil, cheddar cheese, pasta shells or elbows, butternut squash, garlic powder, and broccoli. If you want a savory addition, fry up some bacon to add to the top! The butternut squash is blended into a sauce, which makes it lighter calorie and less filling. This recipe will always be a hit!

Thursday

Breakfast

Egg Bites with Spinach and Prosciutto

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/mini-italian-frittatas-4720584

Try these miniature frittata bites for whenever you need some extra fuel in the morning. You’ll need several eggs, olive oil, leeks, prosciutto, baby spinach, half and half, cheese, and lemon juice. Saute your spinach and prosciutto together in a pan with oil and cook until the spinach is wilted. Separate evenly and divide into muffin tins. Add your mixed wet ingredients on top, bake in the oven, and enjoy!

Lunch

Spicy Salmon Bowl

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/spicy-salmon-bowl–1076219642174784383/

This bowl is amazing if you’re a fellow sushi lover. It calls for raw, sushi-grade salmon, but if that is not accessible to you, it can be substituted with baked salmon. Use the salmon, sushi rice, one serrano pepper, scallions, nori, and any other toppings you like. We love adding cucumbers and avocado to this bowl to add some freshness! 

Dinner

Quinoa Salad with Feta

https://www.jaroflemons.com/easy-quinoa-salad-with-feta-cheese/

For this healthy quinoa bowl, you’ll need quinoa, garlic powder, onion flakes, paprika, grape tomatoes, fresh arugula, and feta cheese. Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Add your toppings and serve warm or chilled! This is the perfect meal prep recipe because it will last several days in the refrigerator.
