People always ask me how do I manage to maintain a clean eating lifestyle while doing many other things on a daily basis. The answer is simple: Meal Prep. It might surprise you, but I don’t like to cook 3 meals from scratch every day of the week. I don’t have time for that. So I rely on meal prep. I also rely on easy healthy recipes.

I like to save time and to have healthy dishes in the fridge all the time. In this way, I have no reason to eat something that’s not healthy or good for me.

If you are like me, you’ll love these meal prep recipes. All these healthy meal ideas are perfect for people who are busy but want to eat healthy.

Finding healthy dishes that are tasty and loved by the entire family can be a tricky journey. However, I believe it’s possible. And I have 50+ recipes that support my theory. No need for complicated steps and compromising on taste, simple healthy recipes can be amazing. And easy.

TOOLSET FOR EASY HEALTHY RECIPES

Before we get started with the tips and recipes, let me introduce you to the trusty tools I use for these delicious healthy recipes. I can count on these any time I want to cook easy healthy recipes for my family.

Meal prep containers for storing the healthy meals you’re about to meal prep; Stockpot for steaming potatoes and other veggies; Mixing bowl for most of the easy healthy recipes; Large skillet to cook meat and veggies for healthy dishes; Spiralizer, kitchen grater or vegetable peeler to make zucchini or other veggie noodles; Rimmed baking sheet for roasting veggies and cooking other easy and healthy meals in the oven; Slow cooker and instant pot for super easy and simple healthy recipes; Blender, food processor or immersion blender for homemade sauces, dressings, and soups; Casserole dish for delicious healthy recipes made in the oven; Mason jars for healthy lunch recipes.

I told you that I struggled with finding delicious healthy recipes. I am serious. I did struggle a lot when I began my clean eating journey. Not anymore. Because, after testing many healthy meal ideas, I realized simple healthy recipes are the best. As long as you use the right ingredients and you embrace meal prepping, you don’t have to struggle with your meals anymore.

Opt for fresh ingredients – fresh veggies are the best in simple healthy recipes – the taste and flavors of your healthy dishes will definitely be better if you use fresh veggies Chicken breast is a healthy lean protein, but if you don’t want to get tired of it, you have to make it taste amazing – make marinades, experiment with spices, and use your slow cooker to prep and cook chicken. I know grilling chicken is very easy but there are other options that are just as easy but also more delicious. Use natural ingredients and stay away from processed, refined ingredients. Natural ingredients are healthier and they will make your healthy dishes taste better too. Make a plan and try meal prep recipes – meal prep recipes will allow you to have easy healthy meals in your fridge all the time. Opt for low-carb options in your favorite dishes – cauliflower is a great rice alternative and zucchini noodles work great instead of pasta. If you do this, you won’t have to part ways with your favorite comfort foods, you’ll just make them better.

Simple Healthy Slaw

healthy slaw recipe

Let’s talk about this healthy slaw recipe. It’s proof that sometimes, the most humble of ingredients can make for the best recipes.

Take cheap cabbage, with all of its potent antioxidants, and toss it with carrots, the humble root vegetable that is packed with beta carotene. Drizzle in a simple, garlicky lemon dressing (no mayonnaise or vinegar here). For extra texture and savory flavor, add some freshly toasted seeds to the mix. Toasting them makes all the difference.

Ta da! You have a colorful coleslaw that’s bursting with fresh flavor and amazing health benefits.

This slaw is one of my favorite simple side dishes, so I’m sharing it today with updated photos in the hopes that it recaptures your attention. It keeps well in the fridge for up to four days, so it’s a very easy way to add a burst of color and fresh flavor to your meals.

Of course, this slaw goes great with veggie burgers and grilled mains in the summertime. It would also be fantastic with my vegetarian chili, sandwiches of any kind, and rich meals that need something light for balance.
