Other Healthy Recipes To Make:
Salmon pasta salad, a recipe packed with protein & veggies! I used chickpea pasta to give it some extra protein but you’ll get plenty from the salmon.
This vegan spinach and artichoke dip is a delicious appetizer that is perfect for a get together or football sunday recipe. You might want to make a double batch, just a warning. It’s made with cashews and coconut milk as the base. It also reheats well so I’ve been snacking on this all week!
Chicken Teriyaki Pineapple Bowls
If this recipe doesn’t scream summer, I don’t know what does. While taking a tropical vacation isn’t really an option right now, recreating tropical meals at home is! Get in the summer spirit with these chicken teriyaki pineapple boats. They’re so fun and actually really simple. They take about 20 minutes to throw together. Eating out of a pineapple is 10x better than eating off a boring ole plate!
A delicious and fun plant based recipe that you can make for dinner, as an appetizer, or even a healthy snack! We’re trying to do more meatless dinners over here but it can get boring if you rely on the same recipe as your go to. I definitely fall into that habit. Well the good thing is nothing is boring about these air fryer buffalo tofu bites ! Even if you fall into the rut of making them over and over again (which you might because they’re amazing).
