Plated: My Go-To Recipes this Summer

Breakfast:

Smoothies- The thing I love about smoothies is you can throw just about anything in there and it will taste delicious. Frozen fruits, bananas and water are just the foundation to build on, I like to toss in spinach and chia seeds for added fiber and some protein powder and Greek yogurt for protein.

Egg Bake + Fruit- Scrambled eggs with veggies of choice with some cheese added into the oven is an easy way to fill up all week long with only prepping the meal one time! I like to add some fresh fruit on the side. Some of my favorite combos: egg whites and spinach, scrambled eggs with ground sausage and bell peppers, baked over easy eggs with chorizo and broccoli.

Lunch:

Bowls- Grain bowls are my jam in the Fall and Winter months, but if you want a lighter option for lunch replace your favorite grains for leafy greens or veggies. Top with a protein and a homemade dressing: chicken with shredded cabbage, Brussels sprouts and romaine with a lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper dressing.

Wraps + Veggies- I love a good ole’ fashioned pub wrap and fries. To make this easy lunch stuff a tortilla or pita with lettuce and chicken salad or grilled steak and add some yummy seasonal veggies on the side.

Dinner:

Grilled Protein + Salad- Burgers, chicken, brisket, ribs pick your protein and add a side salad kit to make the easiest Summer dinner

Kebabs + Quinoa- Quinoa is a great source of fiber and Kebabs can be very versatile: chicken, steak, shrimp, pork with bell peppers, onions, zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes mushrooms

Snacks:

Fruit and yogurt/Cottage cheese- You can get real creative with this one! I have made dips, bowls and even homemade popsicles by blending fruit, yogurt and a dash of honey together for a tasty Summer treat, its super refreshing too!
