When life gets busy, cooking nutritious meals can often fall by the wayside. But with these Dash Meals ideas, you can whip up delicious and healthy dishes in no time.
One great idea is to make a stir-fry. Simply chop up some veggies and your protein of choice, like chicken, tofu, or shrimp, and stir-fry them up in a little bit of oil. Season with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, and you’ve got a meal that’s packed with flavor and nutrients.
Another easy option is to throw together a salad. Start with a bed of greens, then add in some protein (like grilled chicken or canned tuna) and toppings like chopped veggies, nuts, or seeds. Dress it with a simple vinaigrette made from olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
If you’re in the mood for something heartier, try making a frittata. Beat some eggs with a splash of milk, then add in your veggies and protein (like cooked bacon or ham). Pour the mixture into a greased skillet and bake it in the oven until it’s set. Dinner is served!
Finally, don’t forget about the slow cooker. It’s a busy cook’s best friend! Try making a big batch of chili or stew at the beginning of the week, then reheat it as needed for easy dinners throughout the week.
With these Dash Meals ideas, there’s no excuse not to eat well – even on the busiest of weeknights!
