    Healthy Dinner Ideas

    As soon as the New Year approaches, I’m always on the hunt for healthy dinner ideas to enjoy throughout the week. There’s something about starting the year off with clean eating and nutritious recipes that feels SO good!

    I love to get organized and meal prep at the beginning of the week. It’s so helpful and makes it much easier to stay on track…especially with a busy schedule.

There are even different types of cuisines too…like healthy Mexican food and healthy Chinese food. Yum!

    healthy salads

    Healthy Salads

    Sometimes you just need a big healthy salad that’s filled with lots of veggies and protein! This list of healthy salads is so versatile…you’re bound to find a recipe that you’d enjoy! You’ll find both sweet and savory salads with delicious toppings like strawberries, avocados, chickpeas, feta, pistachios and more. So flavorful and delicious!

    healthy soups

    Healthy Soups

    I’m a big fan of soup recipes…they’re easy, comforting and filling! There are lots of healthy soups that are so flavorful and don’t taste like ‘skinny’ recipes. Plus I love that you can throw in any veggies and meats that you have on hand and easily whip something up. Be sure to check out this list of healthy soup recipes below…they won’t disappoint!

    low carb dinners

    Low Carb Dinners

    If you’re following a low carb diet like keto, atkins or paleo, these low carb dinners are great to add to your menu! You won’t even miss the carbs in these healthy dinner recipes…they are packed with flavor and are so delicious. My personal favorite is the Balsamic Chicken and Veggies recipe. It’s made in just one pan and takes only 5 ingredients. So easy!

    healthy mexican food

    Healthy Mexican Food

    I could eat Mexican food every day! It’s my favorite cuisine and seriously never gets old. And if you give me healthy Mexican food, I love it even more! These healthy dinner ideas don’t skimp on that great Mexican flavor, but have a few healthy swaps that makes these recipes guilt-free. You can’t go wrong with any of these Mexican recipes!

    healthy ground turkey recipes

    Healthy Ground Turkey Recipes

    Although I love beef, I like to swap it out for ground turkey when I’m trying to make a recipe a tad healthier. There are so many delicious recipes that you can make the swap with, like turkey meatballs, turkey chili, turkey meatloaf and turkey burgers. All are healthy and still super tasty!

    healthy side dishes

    Healthy Side Dishes

    There are all types of healthy side dishes that can be easily whipped up to serve alongside your healthy dinner. My favorite is baked veggies…they get perfectly crispy and caramelized in the oven. You can bake all types of healthy side dishes with vegetables…like baked zucchini fries, sweet potato fries, parmesan broccoli, roasted carrots and more. Delicious!

    healthy chinese food

    Healthy Chinese Food

    I love Chinese food, but ordering take out is usually not the healthiest. That’s why I love to make healthy Chinese food at home, where I can make simple swaps and know exactly what I’m putting into my dishes. Still so much flavor, but on the lighter side!

    I hope you love this list of healthy dinner recipes as much as I do. Enjoy! :)
